    You didn't get to mention that there is a zoo that's located within Roger Williams Park. It's called the Roger Williams Park Zoo. My family & I went there in July of 2017 while we were on vacation in Portsmouth, RI, and it was a hot one during the day that we went to it. Also, calamari is actually squid, not octopus.
