"Providence's Roger Williams Park Zoo & Carousel Village is one of Rhode Island’s most adored attractions. Explore this beautifully landscaped 40-acre zoo — one of the nation’s oldest — and find African elephants, Masai giraffes, zebras, red pandas, snow leopards, moon bears, a Komodo dragon and more in naturalistic settings."
"This area represents a vital part of early Providence history, serving as reminder of the water that covered the area once known as Great Salt Cove. Over time, the water was drained, land filled, and by 1898 railroad tracks ran through the area to support the many industries in the city... Today, Waterplace Park and the surrounding areas are home to walking paths, restaurants, concerts and WaterFire."
