SUMMARY:Armed Forces Day at TreeTrails Adventures
DESCRIPTION:Armed Forces Day at TreeTrails Adventures celebrates military service with a special Memorial Day weekend promotion designed to get families and friends outdoors for climbing\, ziplining\, and aerial adventure courses at TreeTrails Adventures. Running May 23 through 25\, the event invites active and retired military members to enjoy the park’s treetop obstacle courses with a buy-one-get-one climbing offer aimed at turning the holiday weekend into a shared outdoor experience. \nAs part of the Armed Forces Day promotion\, military guests can climb free with the purchase of a companion ticket by using the promo code “AmericaStrong” during online checkout. The offer encourages participants to bring family members\, friends\, or fellow service members along for a day of rope bridges\, zip lines\, elevated trails\, and outdoor challenges set high above the forest floor. Guests are reminded to bring valid military identification when checking in at the park. \nWhat makes the event stand out is its focus on shared experience rather than ceremony. Instead of a formal observance\, TreeTrails leans into adventure\, teamwork\, and spending meaningful time outdoors together during one of the busiest kickoff weekends of the summer season. Between the climbing courses\, wooded setting\, and family-friendly atmosphere\, the event creates a different kind of Memorial Day weekend activity built around movement\, laughter\, and appreciation for military service. \n

SUMMARY:Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round
DESCRIPTION:Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round returns for its pre-season opening beginning May 23\, operating weekends only until the regular summer season begins June 13. Located in the center of Watch Hill\, Rhode Island\, the historic carousel remains one of the shoreline village’s most recognizable landmarks and enduring summer traditions. Families visiting the coastal destination each year often make a stop at the carousel part of their holiday weekend routine\, with the sound of the ride and the atmosphere of Bay Street helping signal the unofficial start of summer in SW Rhode Island. \nBelieved to have been built in 1867 by Andrew Christian and the Charles W.F. Dare Co. of New York City\, the Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round is widely considered the oldest continuously operating carousel in the United States. Local legend says a traveling carnival brought the carousel to Watch Hill in 1883 before abandoning it\, allowing the attraction to become part of the village itself. Over more than 135 years\, the carousel has survived major storms\, including the devastating Hurricane of 1938\, while remaining a beloved fixture of the Watch Hill waterfront community. \nToday\, the Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round continues to blend nostalgia\, history\, and classic seaside charm for generations of families returning each summer. The hand-carved horses\, historic structure\, and coastal surroundings create an experience that feels deeply tied to the character of Watch Hill itself\, making the carousel one of the region’s most iconic family attractions during the warmer months.
