There’s so much more to New Jersey than its location—although it is perfectly nestled between New York City and Philadelphia. This smallish state is big on personality, packed with possibility, and will wow your group every chance it gets, from Princeton’s ivy-covered campus to the world’s very first boardwalk, and from the oldest operating lighthouse to the brilliant Thomas Edison’s laboratory. Add in a shoreline with powder-soft sand, awe-inspiring attractions, jackpot bells and whistles, uncommon historical landmarks, and more, you’ll begin to wonder just how many wows your group can take!
More than 1,000 attractions
Extreme exhilaration or learning disguised as play? New Jersey has you covered. Six Flags Great Adventure is a thrill-a-minute amusement park, boasting rides for every age (and level of bravery!), live shows, and seasonal events. American Dream houses every type of pleasurable pursuit you can imagine under its ultra-expansive roof— including the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park, which happens to be the Western Hemisphere’s largest indoor amusement park; Big Snow, North America’s first and only indoor, real-snow, year-round ski and snow resort; and world-class shopping. Looking for edutainment opportunities? Liberty Science Center is an absolute must-do.
130 miles of beaches
Even beyond the toes-in-the-sand season, the Jersey Shore delivers. Your group can dig into a unique blend of history and nature at the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area. They can jam to live music and snap pictures in front of Instagrammable art murals in Asbury Park. Or they can celebrate the holidays in Dickensian style, excavate Cape May “diamonds,” and admire the “Painted Ladies” in Victorian Cape May.
