Providence Train Station
Sep 25, 2009 by James from Boston

Overall Rating: 3

• Nice and clean.
• Service is bad.

“To buy your MBTA tickets, you must go to the Cafe La France. They are some of the most disrespectful people I've ever met and no help to someone who is from out of town.”

Roger Williams Park Zoo
May 5, 2007 by Jim from Providence

Overall Rating: 1

• There are none.
• Zoo staff was horrible and did not care for the animals, security was a joke.

“Do not waste your money or time. My car was broken into in the parking lot, while the parking lot security agent as in the lot! The animals were sickly and the staff did not seem to care about the animals or visitors.”

Legion Bowl & Billiards
Apr 27, 2007 by Jeff from Warwick

Overall Rating: 9

• The rock n bowl and its music selection, the family-friendliness is good too.
• The location is kind of grungy.

“This place has the best rock n bowl around. It's on Friday nights, and it costs 17 bucks per lane per hour for anyone who is wondering. I love it, they do not stick to one genre of music like AMF. RAP is all AMF does.”

Feinstein Imax Theater At Prov
Mar 10, 2007 by Emm from Taunton, MA

Overall Rating: 6

• Comfy, quality viewing and sound.
• Overpriced, show did not start on time, not let into theater when promised.

“I bought five tickets to see "night at the museum" at the Imax theater. This is a lot to pay for a movie that came out months ago. But then again, this is an Imax theater so you're paying for the experience. We were told the doors would open ten minutes prior to the start of the show. Your seats are assigned directly on your ticket. Food was much overpriced. Then again, it usually is at the movies. For example, candy was $3.75 and bottled soda was $4.00. About fifteen minutes before the show was to begin, we began lining up. Fifteen minutes passed then twenty, then twenty five. There was no explanation why there was a delay and the employees just kept on selling tickets. It got very crowded in the lobby. After thirty minutes in line (15 minutes after the movie was to have begun), people began filing out of the theater. Apparently the delay was because the last show had not let out yet. So, these people had to leave and then the theater had to be cleaned before we could enter. We finally were let in and the movie began about twenty five minutes after it was scheduled to. The movie was good. The picture and sound were excellent. Everyone enjoyed themselves. It was definitely an expensive indulgence in a much unorganized place.”

Roger Williams Park Zoo
Jul 19, 2006 by Amy from Vernon,Ct

Overall Rating: 8

• Loved the indoor viewing area for the giraffes and also in the Australia exhibit how the monkeys were right over your head.
• No lions or tigers.

“It was worth the long trip to get there. The indoor viewing area for the giraffes and elephants is spectacular. I wish they had some lions or tigers though. Not the best zoo I have ever been to but worth taking the trip to see it.”

Carousel Village
Mar 13, 2006 by Jerry from Pawtucket

Overall Rating: 10

• Try it, you will love it.
• Nothing.

“What a great place the smell of pop corn in the air. The super carousel rides. Can not wait to go back again and it is a heated building so they operate just about year round. What a nice idea. Nice old time carousel music. They have events planned that are really great. The staff is also super friendly, they make you feel special.”

Theodore Francis Green State Airport
Dec 2, 2005 by Dan from Greene, RI

Roger Williams Park Zoo

Overall Rating: 8

• The polar bears are a must see

“A great place to bring the kids for a family or a place to go for fun date (when you are still in that aaoeletaas do something funaa phase). The zoo is not on par with the Bronx or San Diego Zoos, but there is a range of animals, a beautiful park to stroll around, and some fun little extras like paddle boats.”

Mar 26, 2005 by Charles H . from Ontario

Overall Rating: 10

• Friendly tour guides, interesting antiques and history

Waterplace Park & Riverwalk
Mar 24, 2005 by Aaron W . from New Haven, CT

Overall Rating: 8

• Nice atmosphere
• Small

“The best time to go is during the summer and fall when they have the Waterfire. (www.waterfire.org). It is amazing. Fire lines the canals and classical and gothic music plays in the background. Lots of nice restaurants nearby and within walking distance too.”
