What is there to do and see in New Jersey?
Atlantic City Boardwalk
Opened over 150 years ago, the Atlantic City Boardwalk is a 6 mile stretch of retail, dining, and entertainment. In most regards this is a typical boardwalk, but it’s a great place to spend the afternoon. Visitors note that many locations along the boardwalk are cash-only, so be prepared and bring some along!
Jersey Shore Alpacas
Located in Green Creek, Jersey Shore Alpacas provide fleece and fun for everyone! This venue is a knitter’s dream, with over 20 different kinds of Alpaca yarn sold in the farm shop. You can even meet the fuzzy friends yourself! Unlike their llama counterparts, alpacas are notoriously nice, soft, and sociable. Check out the farm’s website beforehand and arrange a time to visit.
Howling Woods Farm
Journey over to Jackson and experience this unique attraction. Howling Woods is a 501(c)(3) educational facility that rescues and cares for wolfdog hybrids. What’s a wolfdog? You’re sure to find out when you visit! Tours are by appointment and include an hour long walk through the facility and time to interact with the dogs.
Grounds For Sculpture
This 42 acre non-profit in Hamilton is part sculpture park, part arboretum. There are more than 270 sculptures, rotating exhibits, and six indoor galleries. This is a great place to relax and unwind for an afternoon. The grounds are absolutely sprawling, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes! You’ll want to see every piece around the garden.
Thomas Edison National Historic Park
The Edison National Historic Park is both a museum and themed attraction. The building is the original residence of Thomas Edison. Most of the furniture belonged to the Edison family and are kept in the same spots as when they lived there! The museum is both an insight into historical life and Edison’s inventions and artifacts. If you’re a history fan in the slightest, you’ll have a great time.
Cape May Winery and Vineyard
Founded in 1989, this family-owned and operated winery has four vineyards across Cape May. 26 acres of land grow 11 different varieties of grapes, which go into the wines including in tastings and tours! Both indoor and outdoor seating is available in the beautiful venue, as well as tasty, light food. Reviewers highly praise the friendly staff, so be sure to swing by!
