Go Play

If you’ve got a kid anywhere between 1 and 10 and you need somewhere to burn off energy on a cold Rhode Island day, Go Play in East Greenwich is genuinely one of the better options around. The slides and maze keep kids busy long enough for parents to actually sit down and breathe, and the enclosed play area means you’re not chasing anyone into a parking lot. It’s well-kept — like, consistently clean, not just on a good day — and the staff are the kind of people who actually seem to enjoy being there. They’ll even bring coffee to you, which, honestly, sold a lot of us locals from day one. Birthday parties run smoothly here too, which is saying something.
