With travel shut down for the majority of the year, now that things are finally opening up I’m sure you’re itching for your next adventure. If you’re headed to New Jersey soon for business or pleasure, you’re probably starting to curate your list of must-do activities while there. The truth is that New Jersey has a lot to offer anyone, no matter your age or interests. Here are my top 4 things to do in New Jersey:
1. Six Flags Great Adventure
Nestled right between New York City and Philadelphia, this amusement park also features Hurricane Harbor water park ensuring plenty of fun for the whole family. Six Flags Amusement parks have a reputation for being home to some of the world’s best rollercoasters, and this park is no exception. With over 13 rollercoasters, you’re sure to have an epic time. There is also a Wild Safari Drive-Thru Adventure, which is perfect for families and those of us that are erring on the side of caution right now.
2. Sports Betting in New Jersey
Since 2018 online gambling has been legal in the State of New Jersey, opening up a whole world of entertainment. Just like in person betting, this law change ensured that NJ online sportsbooks can offer a variety of bets on a range of different sporting events. Identity is an important step of the process, to not only ensure that you are over the age of 21, but also to ensure that you’re actually within the state of New Jersey, using a GPS tracking technology. Once you’re all set up you can combine your love of sports, get a little competitive and maybe even make some extra cash. This is a fun way to pass your time in New Jersey and sure to be a novelty if online betting isn’t legal in your home state. Not sure where to start? The folks over at njgamblingfun.com have put together a comprehensive list of casinos and sportsbooks authorized to operate in the state of New Jersey.
3. Liberty State Park
This is one of the most iconic places to visit in New Jersey, from the sweeping boardwalk you get clear views of the Statue of Liberty. Located in Upper New York Bay in Jersey City, this expansive park is spread over 1,212 acres and a wonderful place to have a small picnic, or to spend the day with your family and dogs. The great thing about visiting right now, aside from the stunning views, is that it’s the perfect place for social distancing, as it’s so big there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy.
4. Cape May Lighthouse
This striking lighthouse stands at 48 meters tall and is located towards the bottom tip of New Jersey State in Cape May. You can climb the steep staircase to get some lovely views of the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bays, before making a visit to the museum and visitor’s centre. This is one tourist attraction that are doing their very best to keep their visitors safe, from hand sanitizing stations located all around, through to gloves and masks. This means you can visit without worry and enjoy this little workout while enjoying some breathtaking views.
New Jersey is a destination that’s often overlooked in favour of visiting New York, but the truth is there’s so much to do and see here. Hopefully these tips set you
