For a fifth summer, Providence Children’s Museum is bringing playful hands-on activities to parks across Providence, building on its building on its commitment to advocate for and raise awareness of the critical importance of children’s play, and its efforts to provide unstructured play opportunities throughout the community.

Families will join the Museum to try a variety of playful open-ended activities – to build forts, blow bubbles, send rockets soaring, play parachute games, and more.  Activities take place evenings in July and August during Celebrate Providence!, the city’s Neighborhood Performing Arts Initiative.
