Hit there,
Blackstone riverboat tours are a fun thing to do during your Pawtucket travel. In fact, if you're really up for a riverboat adventure, you can always book an overnight stay on the Samuel Slater Canal Boat.
Another great thing to do in Rhode Island is
renting a car and explore the Blackstone Valley at your leisure. It will also allow you to head into
Providence with ease, and you might even schedule a side trip to Boston since it's only about an hour's drive away.
