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.

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.
