The Providence childrens museum is excellent for children! It helps build many skills such as spacial awareness, agility, motility, and historical awareness. When you first enter it gives much room for imagination when seeing these air tubes with scarfs that you stuff in then fly out. It is so fascinating and never ceases to amaze me at the whopping age of 15! They have an outdoor area with exercising equipment and tubes to go through (which can be scary not being able to get to kids). There are also many cool things up the ramp (so wheelchair accessible) with realistic "historical" sights and leaves room for interest in adults. If they aren't busy chasing toddlers of course! And then watching toddlers and kids run around with the twinkle in their eyes of exploring something new is truly lovely. I could go on and on about all the places that kids will enjoy exploring. Let's mention the cultural diversity that it shows with this little market area showing different fruits in Spanish. (This is one of many that I can't name off the top of my head). Though here are my safety concerns: like I mentioned with the tunnels there are many opportunities for the little ones to get into trouble. For example the climbing stuff the pirate ship and the ladder in the little kids area. There were many times where if I hadn't been watching the kids could of seriously been hurt. So I'd say watch your kids closely especially if they are three and under. I would rate this overall 4.5 stars, but that isn't an option sadly. Maybe this could be better safety wise I'd there were age limits in certain areas and (or) employees watching. Please consider all of these!
