Newport in February

My family (which consists of me, my hubby, and 2 kids.. ages 5 and 2) will be in Newport RI for a weekend in February.. for a family event. However.. we would love some suggestions on things to do or see once we are in the area... things the kids would enjoy, etc. It%26#39;s been YEARS since I%26#39;ve been there.. so I%26#39;m not sure about what would be a good thing to do once we are there in the area. Any suggestions for anything the area or nearby areas?? And especially during this time of the year.. when the outdoors isn%26#39;t as accessible.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks! ;o)

I%26#39;d go to Roger Williams Park Zoo. It%26#39;s in Providence, but only about a 45 minute drive over the bridges ( great fun).

Check out the Fleet Skating Center, which is brand new and only open in winter as it is an outdoor ice skating rink. Have a good trip!

If you%26#39;ll be in Newport the last 10 days of Feb. they%26#39;re holding the annual Winterfest, which has lots of activities and fun things to do, especially for kids. If not, the Born Skating Center is right downtown, for ice skating and great for families. Check out gonewport.com -Have fun!
