adventure aquarium is fun for kids

Hi mommies....

Why not share the places you took your kids in and around NJ...

Personally, I like the State Aquarium - in camden...

Kids will love that place.. they can touch sharks, jellyfishes and what not.. I have fun and I am pretty sure it will be mind blowing for the kids..

Another place is the sesame street in PA..[but its just an hr drive from NJ] kids theme park.. when you are in PA, dont forget to take them to the yummy factory ;) yep hersheys

More will add later.

Hi,
Nice to know some interesting places.Though i googled a lot reg this topic i didnt find much help.I hope i get more ideas from this thread.

Hi Il'ites,

Can you please suggest some good places for sightseeing (other than the ones mentioned above) in and around NJ?

We are planning to visit the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Bridgewater and want to combine with some more places. Are there any other temples?

Please do suggest some good Indian restaurants too..meanwhile, I will also search for that info in any other thread.

We've planned our stay for 2-3 days...so it will be great if you can all come up with interesting places in NJ....my kids are 13 and 10 years old..

Six flags great adventure sounds good..have any of you been there ? If so..can you share your experience?

Also googled some museums and aquariums too. Which would be the ideal place to stay to cover the attractions? Cause if we stay near the temple...then the distance to Six flags seems to be an hour drive. So, if anyone can come up with good suggestions..it will be appreciated !

Awaiting you reply... Thanks !!
