They can drive the big wooden car or one of the many Little Tykes cars they have. You can fly a helicopter or be the train conductor. You can play in the sand table with all of the construction vehicles. You can pretend to paddle the fishing boat and pretend to fish. It's truly one of the best playgrounds I have seen. Make sure to check the hours before going. They stick to a schedule there. The workers there are truly so kind and friendly.

The price for rental makes it super reasonable for family events without breaking the bank. Downstairs is perfect for baby/bridal showers, funeral collations, reunions, fundraisers and large birthday parties. Upstairs is more intimate and works for small family gatherings you don't want to have at home or even small reunions, birthdays or team events. Staff is always helpful and the organization does a lot of work for the local community so we love supporting them when we're looking to rent a space.

I think this was one of the most enjoyable evening events I have attended in a long time. My wife…read moreand I loved it so much that after spending a few hours here we grabbed some dinner and headed back to our hotel but then ended up coming back out for at least another hour or so. This is a totally free event where they light bonfires in the waterway and have live music, art installations and light shows. There were a lot of people but there was plenty of space so we didn't feel crowded. It starts around sunset and goes for hours. There are boats that travel along the waterway and tent to the fires, adding wood and making sure everything is safe and stays burning. They also offer gondola rides but you should book those in advance. It was very peaceful and romantic. It's completely outdoors so we brought our dog and many of the restaurants have outdoor seating where you can eat and enjoy the sights. There is also a street fair area adjacent to the waterway that offers food, art, jewelry,etc. We saw a glass blowing demonstration and music acts. That section was quite busy and we did feel a little crowded there. I had never really experienced anything like this before and I enjoyed it. I wish we had something like this where I am and if you're in the area and you see this event, you should definitely stop and check it out.

We knew we were going to be in the area around the time of WaterFire so we made sure to find a…read moreplace to stay and spend the night here. We had never been to anything like this or even really heard that much about it so we were interested to see what it was. WaterFire started about 30 years ago as an art installation that was meant to bring more people to the area and it definitely works. They light the braziers along the rivers, pipe beautiful music through the air and have volunteers on boats going from spot to spot, tending the flames and refilling the wood. There are tons of people there. Just walking and enjoying being outside and being together. The vibe is so relaxed and so peaceful but yet busy and exciting at the same time. It's kind of hard to describe unless you see it for yourself. We headed out around dusk when there was still light in the sky and it was a little chilly but I soon forgot about that. Words can't really express how you're just sort of drawn into the piece and beauty of this whole thing. I feel like this review can't even do it justice. We walked around for over an hour but our dog did start to get cold even though we had her in her jacket, so we headed back to where we were staying for a little while. Once it was dark and we were all warmed up, we headed out again because it was just so enjoyable to be there that we really wanted to come back. The second time we wandered through the street fair area and looked at some of the tables and street vendors. I got a really cool ring that was made out of a an old ornate spoon. There were also food vendors but everything was pretty busy so we ended up getting food on the way back to our hotel. There were families and groups of friends and couples, all just soaking in the magic and ambiance and ultimately we drifted back towards the water again because that is where the real magic is. We sat for a long time watching people float by in gondolas and watching the volunteers slowly push the boats through the canals, adding wood to the flames causing them to rise up. Everyone was friendly and in a good mood and strangers were chatting with each other. There was a real sense of community and peace. This was honestly one of the most romantic evenings I've had with my husband in a long time as well. We nuzzled noses and shared a few kisses to the music and the flame. If you are anywhere near Providence during WaterFire, don't even think about it just go. It's totally free! You don't need tickets or even to plan really. You can just enjoy the fire light and the music and being together in a beautiful place. It's absolutely unforgettable.

They should go to NH,Maine or CT and watch how they do their rotations. It seems there are plenty of employees in the back that could be prepping the bins to go out on a regular basis. Every time I've been there's a few rotations with no real schedule. Sometimes 45 minutes, sometimes 3 hours. From the looks of the Shop Goodwill site, the workers are busier picking through and pricing up things for the online store instead of just offering them to regular customers who come to hunt for a bargain in the bins. Much nicer staff and management at other Goodwill locations - honestly, why do they call it Goodwill when the workers seem like they don't like their jobs or the customers?
