What travelers are saying
- JonArlington, VA1 contributionThis museum was such great value for what is offered. There's SUCH diverse installations with art spanning so many different millenia which I found very cool. Very easy to navigate and it's quiet, peaceful and extremely insightful. Perfect sized museum - not overwhelming and easy to briefly hit on everything and spend time wherever you want. Near many other attractions, too!Written October 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Tour8250038 contributionsHave been a Broadway series subscriber for a few years and enjoy every trip to PPAC. Seats are comfortable- more leg room the closer to the stage you get. Recommend first dress circle, great view and sound!Written May 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- David K13 contributionsA great experience and a lot of fun. Visiting colleges in Providence and decided to visit the famous federal hill section of Providence, known has their Italian section with great restaurants and stores. It definitely lived up to the hype. Restaurants were outstanding! It was a lot of fun and a must see if in Providence.Written October 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dewayne PElizabethtown, KY2,025 contributionsThis was an interesting self-guided tour. Parking available within walking distance of the site. You will go through security when you enter, so no weapons or whatnot. There is an information room on the first floor to get a map of the building and any information.Written October 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NickRound Lake, IL118 contributionsI often rely on other Trip Advisor reviews to find cool, out of the way things to do. That’s how I found the Athenaeum. Don’t short change yourself with a short visit - take some time to explore the depths this amazing library offers. There is a lovely reading room downstairs if you have extra time to spare. Parking is a challenge, so take a ride share if you’re able.Written November 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Celeste D174 contributionsThe park is large with lots of trails and features. I liked waking around the trails seeing different water views. I especially liked the dirt trail along the lake. The Japanese garden was nice but crowded. I wished I would have come earlier in the day to see the botanical garden. The parking was terrible if you come on a weekend. The spot I found didn't have a turnaround so everyone had to back out to get to the main road through the park.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laurel W22 contributionsCool looking historic homes up on a hill overlooking the city. Driving can be a bit tight with the 2 way streets that only have ONE lane…. Lots of alleyways and restored homes. Worth a look and also seating at Prospect Terrace overlooking the cityWritten October 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Grover RPensacola, FL22,266 contributionsThis is one of many beautiful colonial homes that you can see either driving or walking the historic Providence neighborhood of College Hill. However, this maroon, wood home belongs to one of the most prominent Rhode Islanders not named Williams or Brown. It is available to tour but not on a holiday like our Labor Day visit. However, our group enjoyed seeing the house and learning about Stephen Hopkins who was a multi-term colonial Governor, the state's Chief Justice and a signor of the Declaration of Independence. I highly encourage you to at least see the house and beautiful grounds.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
