Narrative
Award-winning zoo, home to hundreds of fascinating species from around the world. Handicap accessible. Open everyday, except Christmas.
The fully accessible Hasbro Boundless Playground is open daily until dusk all year. Zoo offers programs for both adults and children. Roger Williams Park Zoo offers many accommodations for visitors to help all guests fully enjoy their Zoo experience.
The Zoo has partnered with Kulture City to allow guests with autism and other sensory-processing disorders get better resources and support as they experience all the zoo has to offer.
The Zoo covers about 40 acres, and the path through Zoo grounds is a little more than one mile long. It is mostly wheelchair-accessible, though it does include hills and uneven or unpaved terrain. The average length of stay is three hours.
