The Alex and Ani City Center in downtown Providence is located in Kennedy Plaza. It features year round outdoor fun for the whole family. Along with playgrounds and picnic areas, the Providence Rink can be found here and it features volleyball and bumper cars in the summer and ice skating and hockey games in the winter. It is a full-scale, outdoor rink, twice the size of Rockefeller Center in New York City. But the most unique thing to be found here, combines two fun activities from two different seasons. Families can try an adventure like no other when they ride ice bumper cars on top of the ice rink. It might sound crazy but who wouldn’t want to drive an ice bumper car! It makes the slipping and sliding even more fun and hilarious!
