Providence Children’s Museum is dedicated to the idea that children learn best through self-directed play. Thus, the museum’s hands-on learning environments and programs are designed to engage the imagination and innovation of children, ages 1 to 11 years old.

There are several exhibits, such as Play Power, which inspires creative use of ramps, tubes, mazes, magnets, and blocks to learn about architecture and physics.

The Water Ways installation teaches children about all of the different forms that water can take, while The Climber exhibit gives kids a chance to wriggle and stretch through a two-story climbing maze. Other installations include the Children’s Garden, Think Space, Littlewoods, and more. The museum offers field trip opportunities, room rentals, and memberships.
