We’re Open — Come Explore Fort Adams
Fort Adams is open seven (7) days a week from 9:30am – 4:00 pm for the 2026 season, offering both self-guided and guided tours daily.
New this year, we are offering two (2) brand new unique Guided Tours themed Life at the Fort (11:30am and 3:30pm) and Storm the Fort (9:30am and 1:30pm).
Visitors can explore the Fort’s historic grounds, walk the 6½-acre parade field, enter the casemates, and take in sweeping views of Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay.
Looking for a more personalized experience? Private tours are available year-round and are a great option for families, groups, or special visits.
Private tours offer a deeper, more customized way to experience Fort Adams, including access to the tunnels, ramparts, and restored spaces throughout the Fort.
Available throughout the season—and during the winter months when the Fort is closed to general admission—these tours are ideal for small groups, visiting guests, or special occasions.
