Providence Children’s Museum is celebrating its 49th birthday with a Free Day of Play on Saturday, June 27, 2026, giving visitors the gift of play at no cost thanks to the generous support of Centreville Bank.On this special day, families are invited to enjoy all that the Museum has to offer—free of charge—from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Children and their caregivers can explore hands-on exhibits, participate in creative play, and discover the joy of learning through play. Guests will also be able to enjoy a bubble party in our garden and participate in a special magnet maker activity.
“Giving back to our communities is central to who we are. Supporting the Free Day of Play reflects our commitment to strengthening the communities we serve and investing in opportunities that make a real difference. Helping reduce cost barriers is one way we can make these experiences more accessible for local families” said Hal Horvat, President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board, Centreville Bank.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Centreville Bank to celebrate PCM’s 49th birthday by opening our doors to the community for a free day of play,” said Caroline Payson, Executive Director of Providence Children’s Museum. “We look forward to welcoming families for a day filled with joy, exploration, and memorable experiences.”Visitors will enjoy full access to all of the museum's beloved exhibits, including Water Ways, ThinkSpace, Coming to Rhode Island, and the Children's Garden.
This support is made possible by Centreville Bank, which invests in initiatives that strengthen communities and expand access to opportunity. With an established presence in Olneyville and a new downtown Providence location set to open soon, Centreville Bank is proud to support opportunities that bring people together and enhance the vibrancy of the city.
