Fully restored historic Vaudville theatre presenting concerts, musical theatre, comedy, dance and theatre education programs at family affordable rates.

Beautiful theater. We saw "A Christmas Carol" and it was a great show. Our seats were in the upper section and we could see the entire show clearly and without any obstruction. We arrived an hour ahead of time and did not have a problem finding a municipal parking space. We will be visiting the Stadium for future shows.
2. New England Country Club

Well, the course layout is difficult with plenty of typical new england armoring, i.e. large rocks left in place at times making an approach or fairway landing difficult. This is in addition to the normal hazard collection like sand traps, well placed trees, etc. The staff are very friendly and there is a beverage cart making the rounds. The greens crew could be more fastidious in their work.
3. Southwick's Zoo

We visited the zoo on a Monday in September. It was nice and quiet. The Skyway was running so we took a ride. It was wonderful. No bumps along the way. We saw most of the park's wildlife. There's also a train, but we didn't ride it. You can feed and pet the herd of deer; there's a petting area for adorable goats; the staff provide informational sessions; there are shows. Each type of animal is explained via a board at the exhibit area. The board includes a map as to where the animal lives, the age span and size, whether the species is endangered and to what extent, and other information. The aviary is wonderful!. You can feed the parakeets. They fly onto your shoulder, or in my case, my hat. Although the zoo is not huge, it has a good variety of animals. What made an impression on me was the quality of care the animals receive. You can tell that the members of the staff really love the animals. The areas are well-maintained and clean. All animals had plenty of water and food. I look forward to returning soon.

It's sorta like that, in terms of noise. But if you can get around the inability to have a conversation over the sound of tables being cleared quite loudly, the food is good. The chicken, which is what they're known for, is moist, tender, and falls off the bones. It's all family style, so there's a lot on the table, and with the chairs pretty close together, it can get ... cozy? Crowded? Cramped? The latter if you've a wheelchair at your table, so try to ask for a table large enough to spread out both the chairs and the place settings. For vegetarians, this is not going to be your favorite place. Everything besides the chicken is ok. But that's it: just ok. It's salad and pasta and French fries and rolls. The salad comes with dressing already on it and in most cases at our table, it was too much dressing. The pasta had pepper in the red sauce, but that's it. No depth there, very plain. The rolls were ok. The fries were thick cut and just ok. Service was very attentive and super fast (which likely yielded more noise). It is handicapped accessible although the ramp is very steep. (It's hard to see in my photo, but the ramp is in the shady corner of the building.) There's no auto-door opener button, so you need someone to come along and help with the doors. There was good handicapped parking, tho, and the guard at the entrance to the parking lot gave excellent directions as to the best place to park. Finally, you need reservations, and they make you wait to be seated until everyone in your party is there.

lovely paved pathway for biking, running or walking. It is a well maintained area that runs along the Blackstone River. There are some small inclines along the way but nothing steep. There are many areas where you are able to gain access to the path. Be aware It is not cleared after snowstorms….
7. Museum of Work and Culture

Located in a 1915 textile mill, the museum is dedicated to the political and cultural lives of the working class. It also serves as a visitors center for the Blackstone Valley National Corridor.
Reviewed By yaflincoln - Rhode Island
The museum focuses on family life in Rhode Island's mill towns which were primarily settled by French Canadians. There are several interactive exhibits, some film presentation and even a mock Catholic school classroom which really brought back memories for me. You can dive into newspaper articles, yearbooks and other memorabilia which give a sense of life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This look back in time highlights the daily life, and struggles of those who settled in this area as immigrants. I have visited many times and still enjoy brining visitors into enjoy this wonderful little museum….

We are located a the north east end of the airport next to the big blue hanger. Follow signs for the skydive center. Pull in, park and walk up to white building. Spectators are welcome. We have large picnic tables and a deck where friends and family can see you jump.

I had always wanted to do skydiving and enjoyed it beyond expression. The team is well experienced and they know what they are doing. We did a video of our dive and watching it is just hilarious. I will do it again any other time I have the opporunity. Had so much fun .......

Phantom farms baked goods are scrumptious. There muffins are local legend as are their pies, my favorite pie is fruits of the forest! Their coffee is delicious also. Fresh fruit especially apples are always terrific and they have the above average seasonal offerings(think pumpkins).

Reviewed By Robert P - New Bedford, Massachusetts
I went here on a Friday night for the first time. It cost $27/per car to enter with three screens playing 2 movies each. So you can fill up your car for $27 and watch TWO movies. They start around 8:30pm, but gates are open far before then so you can park and set up.
We watched the first movie and took off. We were worried there may be massive traffic to leave, but each movie ends at different times, so we were out in under 60 seconds.
At the beginning of the movie they play this short clip of how important the snack bar is since they have to pay the movie producers almost all of their entrance fees. So we ended up going to the snack bar to support them and get some food. They also have bathroom facilities and a newly opened ice cream stand (we did not get ice cream as the line was huge for this) I am attaching a picture of their menu with prices.
Food we got:
Pizza slices - terrible. It was actually worse than frozen pizza
Fried Oreos - AMAZING! We got an order and went back for a second midway through the movie.
Overall this is a great spot to go. You can load up your car and bring your own chairs and food and drink inside if you'd like without an issue. I would highly recommend!
