Northlandz. It’s a huge miniature train exhibit. Took 2 hours to get through. Hardly saw anyone was like 10 frum families but we were all far apart. My kids loved it all ages and genders. The little ones loved pressing the buttons and watching the trains drive. The older ones loved the intricate details of the towns, amusement parks etc… it was really worth our while. They usually have a real train ride but it’s broken so not running now. There is also a small room with bikes for the todddlers at the end. https://northlandz.com/mobile/

Would u recommend it for a family of only little ones 6 years and under?

Do they like trains and watching things drive? My 3 year old loved it. I think I would take that age. There were other young kids there that looked like they enjoyed too.

Yes that was the most popular age there. My kids that age really enjoyed and appreciated all the different scenes.

seaQuest in Woodbridge mall. Disaster. Showed up to be told it's a 3.5 hour wait and left.

We tried this last year…
The lines were outrageous.
It’s a free attraction so the place is mobbed

How much are the kids tickets? Unfortunately can't afford paying much per person.

I went to American dream. It was fabulous. Not too crowded at all. I couldn't afford to do a large attraction but we walked around and did some little activities and ate pizza. Beautiful sukkah. Dr. Schnitzel was there for a free show.
Fabulous day.

Local park, pharmacy to pick up prescriptions, library up the block for the bathroom and had lunch in the community sukkah by ourselves. All pretty much empty probably because people went on excursions.

DH went to jail.
(to visit prisoners and help them shake lulav and esrog)

The rest of us stayed home and watched the very expensive but very impressive Intern Krig stream.

A few visitors came through to use our Sukkah (we're on the NY-Canada route) which broke up the day.

I did a lot of the Yom Tov dishes but there's still a bunch left. (TYH for dishwashers!)

The couch was crowded for the video, but oddly only the baby was crowding in by the dishwasher. I wonder why? Would have thought it would be a bigger attraction...

rented a pool through swimply- had a beautiful time

Us to! It was really fun to be back in the pool even though school already started. The pool we rented had lots of toys and the kids really enjoyed it. Best of all no line plus we only payed $10

(Was only
$10 since we got $50 off using code https://swimply.com/referral?r.....11719 - It's just for new users so we asked a family member who never used swimply to sign up Smile
