It's a cute town! (sry that's all I have to say loll, I went many moons ago!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newport-ri-area-recommendations#post-2150684 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 21:05:55 +0000 catlady 2150684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Definitely visit someplace else! Newport is cute but not much to do there. Either Boston or else Cape Cod would be a nice choice (both are a similar distance from Newport). In Boston with a 3 year old and baby, I'd recommend the Children's Museum, Aquarium, Science Museum, Public Garden with swan boats, or the duck boat tour. Depending on when you come, there are usually fun festivals or concerts happening around town too. At the cape, you could be more low-key and check out the beaches and the seaside towns, maybe do a whale watch if you think your 3 year old would enjoy it. We were there with our LO last year when she was 7 months and did several easy nature walks (one we liked alot was the Wellfleet Wildlife Sanctuary) and also checked out Provincetown. Good luck and have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newport-ri-area-recommendations#post-2150664 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:51:17 +0000 Freckles 2150664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipper2010: thanks! That's what I heard, and we were thinking about doing Boston for the other half of the trip. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newport-ri-area-recommendations#post-2150601 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:16:25 +0000 skipper2010 2150601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Newport is beautiful, but I don't think you need to spend a week there. It's a good long weekend trip IMO. There are so many other great places nearby Boston being one of them. I would suggest spending 3 days somewhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newport-ri-area-recommendations#post-2150566 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 19:31:13 +0000 Freckles 2150566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has a conference in Newport, RI this summer and we decided to make a family trip out of it and stay in the area for 1 week. Would you stay in Newport the whole week, or go somewhere else for the other 3 days? Boston or somewhere else in RI? We will be with both kids (3 yrs old and 7 mos old).</p> <p>Also, any recommendations? :grin: </p>
