Winter in Rhode Island

When the temperature drops and the snow falls, Rhode Island transforms from an ideal summer destination into a true winter wonderland. Whether you're looking for a cozy winter getaway, a family trip, or something else entirely, Rhode Island's countless gifts will make your spirits bright. Our grand historic homes and spectacular Newport Mansions feature incredible architecture, opulent decor, and (in some cases) museum-worth collections. If the crisp outdoors is more your thing, bundle up for skating, skiing, tubing, and snowboarding. Then take a walk along our peaceful trails and much less crowded (but still beautiful) beaches and parks. Enjoy shopping strolls, and savor delicious food and imaginative cocktails in warm, inviting restaurants (or under a blanket in an outdoor igloo). Then retire to a snug B&B, historic inn, or cozy hotel for a long winter's nap.
