Fun Things To Do In NJ: ‘Stay-cations’ To Keep Families Busy All Summer Long

Even as the economy recovers, more and more families are opting to forgo the annual family vacation and replace it with a ‘stay-cation.’ These special vacations help families explore their own area and let them make the most out of the place they call home. The best part about these stay-cations is that there’s no long waits in airports, no choruses of ‘are we there yet’ from the backseat and no expensive travel costs. If you’re in the NJ area, consider making one of these New Jersey attractions the focus of your stay-cation.

Amusement Parks In New Jersey: Morey’s Piers

Morey’s Piers is located in Wildwood, NJ and it’s easy to see why it’s rated the third best seaside amusement park in the world. The park offers three piers full of rides, attractions, games and food, and two different waterparks. With so many things to do, it’s like getting three different amusement parks in New Jersey in one.

Original to 2011 is ‘it.’ ‘It’ is a one of a kind thrill ride that spins and swings riders up to 65 feet over these amusement parks in New Jersey. It has a unique lap bar restraint that delivers an experience that isn’t found at any other thrill ride. The waterparks also offer something for everyone. From a lazy river to aggressive water slides to shallow children’s play areas, everyone on your stay-cation will appreciate being able to stop and cool down in the water. Visitors can choose one day or multi-day passes, or choose to only visit the waterpark or amusement park. Season passes are also available.

Fun Things To Do In NJ: Adventure Aquarium

The Adventure Aquarium in Camden is known as ‘America’s most touchable aquarium.’ Here, families can visit attractions like Penguin Island, Seal Shores, Stingray Beach Club, Touch-a-Shark, Rainforest Rendezvous and more. Children and adults can touch hermit crabs, lobsters, sea stars, giant isopods, grass shrimp and even a white spotted bamboo shark. If you’re considering a trip to the Adventure Aquarium, it’s a good idea to book your visit online. Guests can choose from a one day pass, or a family value package that includes entrance to all the exhibits and a meal voucher.

New Jersey Attractions: The Liberty Science Center

The Liberty Science Center is located in Jersey City and has nine different permanent exhibitions that promise to inspire visitors. Guest can learn how scientists study diseases and how to treat infections, how human communication has changed and all about the sources of energy and how humans can experiment with alternate sources. There’s even a special, interactive area for children ages 2-5. Tickets can be purchased at the door for the museum.

With so many fun things to do in NJ, your family can stay busy all summer long – without breaking the bank. From amusement parks in New Jersey to New Jersey attractions like museums and aquariums, look no further than your own backyard for your next stay-cation.
