Place to take kids in RI

Still just settling in to RI after our move 3 years ago and wondering if anyone has favorite free/inexpensive day trip places for babies/toddlers etc.  Parks, museums, farms etc?  We're up in the E. Prov. area but we dont mind driving either.. any ideas?

    Let's see... The trail through Lincoln Woods is nice, and there is a little beach area (although check that the beach is open before you go if you want to swim). I know they charge sometimes, but I don't know how much and I have no idea what their schedule is.

    Roger Williams Park Zoo isn't cheap, but it is a lot of fun. Relatively stroller-friendly, and they've done a lot of improvements recently.

    The imPossible dream playground in Warwick is really cool. They have a donation bin when you walk in, so just give what you're able/comfortable with.

    In Charlestown, there's the Fantastic Umbrella Factory that has a little free petting zoo. If I remember right, it's either on the road into Ninigret Park or not far from there. The park used to have a little visitor's center, too, but I'm not sure how much fun it would be for really little ones.

    get yourself a zoo membership at RWZ.....it is open all year long and great to stop in even if you only have an hour...it pays for itself in just 4/5 visits.

    Thanks some new places to check out.  We just finished last years zoo pass and your right its awesome!  We used it all the time.. we did the family plus pass too so we were able to take visitors w/ us for free often too!  Im glad you mentioned though it will remind me to renew!

    My friend just took her 7 month old to southwicks zoo and said she loved it since there was a lot of interaction with the animals. Also, head to the beach!
