Booking a Hotel in Cranston, RI
Cranston Rhode Island is a small town just a short drive from Providence. Enjoy all the beauty Cranston has to offer and still be within driving distance to many tourist attractions. Historic sites, theatres and excellent museums smoothly blend with newer attractions on the block including scenic Riverwalk, a modern mega-mall, convention centre, outdoor skating arena, plus restaurants and new hotels. One of the city's top attractions is the Roger Williams Zoo. It has an updated Tropical Rainforest Building where "spunky monkeys" roam free in a constructed jungle-like environment offering hours of entertainment for adults and children alike. Wander through the Providence Place to check out the more than 100 stores. For a unique experience check out, "The Hill." This historic area boasts many award- winning restaurants. From the Mediterranean and Italian cuisine to Mexican, Caribbean, Seafood, Chinese, and baked goods, there is a cuisine for every craving. For something a little different, hop on an authentic Venetian gondola for a romantic river cruise.
