Roger Williams Park Zoo offers free admission on Friday, November 23 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Visitors are asked to spread holiday cheer by bringing non-perishable food items to benefit Rhode Island Community Food Bank. Staff from Cardi’s Furniture & Mattresses will be in the Zoo’s main parking lot collecting and boxing all the food items. For a complete list of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank’s most needed items, visit http://rifoodbank.org/get-involved/donate-food/#needed.

Get outside, enjoy the fresh air, and take time with family and friends to experience everything the Zoo has to offer! Many of the animals enjoy the cooler temperatures, including the red pandas, snow leopards, red wolves and more.

    10:00 am - 4:00 pm

A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.
