Thrilling amusements & activities
Whether your group is seeking all-out thrills or wondrous edutainment, New Jersey has got you covered. Six Flags Great Adventure is the king of the state’s amusement parks, boasting rides for every age (and level of bravery!), live entertainment, shopping, and fun food. American Dream houses a world of entertainment, retail, dining, and thrills under its roof, including the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park, which happens to be the Western Hemisphere’s largest indoor theme park. Want to disguise learning as play? Liberty Science Center and Adventure Aquarium are two of the state’s must-dos.
Bountiful beaches
New Jersey delivers an enviable stretch of coastline dotted with charming sun-and-sea destinations. Your group can sink their toes in the sand and discover history at the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area. They can splash in the waves, jam to the music scene, and pose in front of awe-inspiring murals in Asbury Park. They can also build a sand castle and marvel over mid-century Doo-Wop architecture in The Wildwoods, and dig for Cape May “diamonds” and admire the “Painted Ladies” in Cape May.
Immersive arts & culture
Your group will appreciate larger-than-life art in wide-open spaces under clear blue skies at Grounds For Sculpture. They’ll take in a world-class performance at NJPAC and explore collections from the Americas, Asia, and Africa at the Newark Museum of Art. Your group members can also immerse themselves in the wonders of science, history, and the arts at the New Jersey State Museum.
