Pricing Snapshot
Save The Bay's Hamilton Family Aquarium is a compact, highly interactive aquarium focused on Narragansett Bay species and habitats. Families can explore touch tanks, exhibit zones, and kid-friendly learning experiences in a polished indoor setting on America's Cup Avenue. It is not a traditional playground, but it is one of the region's strongest indoor family destinations for curious toddlers through grade-school kids, especially when you want hands-on exhibits with a calmer pace than an arcade.
