These are all good suggestions, to which I would add a day at Mystic Aquarium and Seaport, and maybe a Friday night at the Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown:

Mystic Aquarium

Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Seaâ„¢ : Home

Frosty Drew Observatory & Sky Theatre

And what's WRONG with Woonsocket? Unlike Rose Island, at least it has a museum!

Escobar's Farm in Portsmouth for fireworks, corn maze and lots of pumpkins.

Don't forget a ride out to Block Island on the ferry.

PS Don't go to 3rd beach.. the water is very dirty.

Try a leisurely family drive up scenic RT 102 from Exeter up through Smithfield. Not sure where it ends, but it's lovely, especially on a sunny summer day, or even better, on a crisp fall day to see the spectacular foliage. You'll see some apple orchards, and you can include apple picking in your plans in the fall. You even go past the state reservoir.

I concur. Especially at Christmas time. The Christmas lights are pretty from the train. And most especially if you have very young children with you. It is magical for them at Christmas, but nice for adults too. It's also a lovely place to visit in the summer.

Speaking of Christmas, LaSallette Shrine in Attleboro has millions of Christmas lights from November - January. Gorgeous. It is religiously themed there.

There is a nice zoo in North Attleboro called Capron Park zoo. That's a nice little zoo. Last time I went there, there were lions.
