Atlantic City
Atlantic City is a resort city in the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey; the city is known as the Las Vegas of the East Coast, and for good reason. The city offers visitors live entertainment, upscale shopping centers, the boardwalk, and, of course, casinos. Some of the most popular casinos here include Caesars Atlantic, Borgata, and Harrah’s; these casinos offer musical and comedy performances as well as world-class eateries, so it’s not just about gambling. Other attractions in this lively city include the Absecon Lighthouse, the Atlantic City Aquarium, Steel Pier Amusement Park, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
The Cora Hartshorn Arboretum and Bird Sanctuary
Cora Hartshorn is located on Forest Drive in Short Hills and is open every day between 8am and 4pm. The arboretum was established in 1923 and features roughly 16 acres of kettle moraines, woodlands, and hilly slopes. You have at your disposal over three miles of biking trails and hiking paths across the woodlands with more than 40 species of ferns and trees. You will also get to visit an amphitheater that was naturally created by glaciers.
Grounds for Sculpture
This sculpture park and museum is located along Sculptors Way in Hamilton and here you will get to enjoy nature, art, and great food. Enjoy stunning sculptures sprawled across the 42-acre grounds as well as a gorgeous landscape that changes with the seasons. Also, visit Rat’s Restaurant, a restaurant designed to resemble the Claude Monet painting. Take a stroll across the grounds and discover more surprises hidden in almost every turn, including air-conditioned areas of relaxation and elevated viewpoints.
New Jersey Beaches
You cannot mention a New Jersey day trip without considering the beautiful beaches of the Jersey Shore. We especially recommend the Island Beach State Park in the Berkeley Township, where you will get to swim, fish, and kayak. You could also try the Sandy Hook Beach, where you will get to surf and watch over 300 species of migratory birds. Other popular beach locations include the Long Beach Island, Cape May, Poverty Beach, and Higbee Beach.
