We just went to Lake Riviera. Stunning, with a beach and a playground and even a baseball field and basketball court. This is in Brick, ten minutes from my house.

We used one on chol hamoed pesach. Museum of natural science. It was nice especially free but frankly if we would have paid to get in we would have been disappointed!(but it wasn't our first time going!)
Thanx for the reminder!

This one is also nice. Very small but great for little kids. Nice playground. Bring bikes or scooters. They have mini roads with stop signs...
And big grassy area for ball playing.
And a skate board place.

There used to be a great farm in Wall that closed down. Sad
Last year we went to Allaire Community Farm for the first time, it was very nice. I think it was on the list without any info. Also 20-30 min from Lakewood, small but very nice, my kids loved it.

There's a farm or 2 in Jackson, every year the details change. They're sometimes advertised locally, I think I noticed one on the cover of the Masa Umatan this week (don't have it anymore).

For a zoo, Cape May is the best. It's a nice drive, but very kedai - we go every year. And it's free!

If you're interested in pm-ing me with an email address, I can send you a word file with a more detailed list of all trip ideas. The parks I posted were copied from there, but there's more info I didn't post.

Cape May is a little far for today but Allaire sounds interesting.. Do they have a decent amount of animals? How old are your kids that enjoyed it? Thanks!
