Our Visit To Great Wolf Lodge
Scotrun, PA May 2017 I have been looking at Great Wolf Lodge for years while the kids were growing up. It is quite pricey, and since we generally prefer to swim under an open sky, I have never taken that leap to purchase the stay and tickets there. This year, an opportunity came up where […]
Our Visit To Adventure Aquarium
Several summers ago, we made a trip down to Camden to visit the Adventure Aquarium. It was quite a long drive to get there for us. However, in July and August, the aquarium was showing some teacher love, and gave free tickets for a weekday in those two months to educators and a guest to […]
Roller Rinks in NJ
I have to be honest here, I know next to nothing about the rollerskating rinks in NJ. In fact, I learned to roller skate only recently, due to peer pressure. I rely on my more experienced friends to point me in the right direction for some roller skating fun. My kids love it, and we […]
Our Visit To Liberty Science Center
Since I first wrote about our visit to Liberty Science Center a few years ago, I have now gone back with my second, now older kid in 2019, and the experience has not changed. It was still great. ***This page contains affiliate links.***
Our Visit To Bridgewater Sports Arena
We went to the Bridgewater Sports Arena for a friend’s birthday back in 2015. Since then, we really have not had a chance to re-visit Bridgewater Sports Arena. It wasn’t an official party there, but we just got together and played in the arcade and a few games of laser tag together. The place is […]
Free Activities For Kids….
… At Your Local Stores. Recently I went to a music store, where the person helping me told me about their classes for kids that are free. I have not even suspected that this store might offer something so great for kids, and it got me thinking: what other places would do that as well. […]
Our Visit To Watchung Reservation
Mountainside, NJ At least every month for the last 15 years! Trailside Nature Center and Watchung Reservation is a wonderful place to visit with your family! However it has seen some changes in the past few years. The old dam has been rebuild into a brand new dam. Lake Surprise does go up and down in water […]
Our Visit To Pump It Up
Roselle Park, NJ Summer 2013 PUMP IT UP was really exciting news for me when it opened up. There is one not far from us and it is a great rainy day activity. Just make sure to call ahead and reserve a spot for the open bounce.
Our Visit To Giggleberry Fair
Peddler’s Village, PA May 2013 The kids and I were headed to Bucks County, PA, to run some errands. To make this routine trip more fun for them I like to pick a cool place to visit in that neighborhood. Some place that we haven’t been to before. This time I chose Giggleberry Fair on friend’s […]
Our Visit To Bowcraft
This was fun while it lasted, but Bowcraft now is nothing but a lovely memory. It shut down in 2019, sold, and redeveloped for condos. Thank you for the memories. Bowcraft is a fun little amusement park in Union County, NJ. It is right on Rt. 22 in Scotch Plains.
