Tyler, the group salesperson was a great help in planning our family event. We had 13 people - 9 adults and 4 kids. Tyler arranged for our name to be on the big screen when they welcomed groups. It made us feel very special! The park is clean, and the concessions are good. Lines weren't too long. The bouncy house area was a great activity for the little kids who couldn't sit through the whole game.

What a wonderful experience! We took our 5 and 2 year old girls, who had a blast! Arrive early so that you can enjoy the free kid tatoos and check out the area. The children are separated from the adults on the boat and engaged in an adventure then entire trip. The adults were able to sit back and relax for an hour, it was wonderful!! I would HIGHLY recommend taking the last trip for the day... so you can also enjoy the sunset :) And don't forget to wear your Pirate Gear!!

My go to place for solo runs that clear the mind. Wide soft trails -5 miles plus a little - in a serene-quite environment around a beautiful water reservoir. You get true nature connection and the trails are covered by tress, nice shade during the summer.

This campground is only 6 miles to the beach. It's location is perfect. The cabins only have bunk beds and a table but was a lot easier then setting up a tent. The bathrooms were clean for a state park. Lots of hiking trails around the park. Great weekend getaway.

Jenkinson's Aquarium opened in 1991 and is a proud member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). This indoor facility is dedicated to educating the public on various aspects of marine life and conservation. From Atlantic Sharks to Coral Reef and Local Fish the Aquarium has a variety of marine individuals. There is a Rainforest area with parrots and monkeys and a Pine Barrens area with turtles, frogs and even owls. Touch tanks, Harbor seals and African Penguins are also included. Check out our Penguin Web Cam on the Aquarium website. You can come and go all day once you pay, so enjoy our exhibits then go out to the beach, rides, mini golf and return later in the day to see some animal feedings. Open year round.

We brought our 27 month old and 2 month old for a visit and had a great time. We arrived shortly after 9 am opening (in December ) and viewed all exhibits and even seal and penguin feedings -all without waning interest of such a short attention span of a 2 year old! Maybe next time our toddler will be old enough to enjoy the 'touch tank'! The employees are so informative, caring, and attentive to youngsters it will be a pleasure to come back. Beautiful tanks are full of curious inhabitants who closely greet visitors. We viewed snakes, monkeys, macaws, & salamanders as well.
6. The Strand Theatre

This was only my second time at the Strand Theater. I went to see my nieces dance recital. I was definitely worried about the parking situation especially it being Lakewood. I will say it was extremely easy and convenient. There is a lot directly across from the stage door as well as on the other side of the street where you can park for free. The theater itself is very old but extremely well-kept. It definitely provided a nice and unique atmosphere to see a dance recital other than going to a school auditorium. It was a good experience and I would be inclined to actually go see some more shows there.

This is a well maintained park with a walkway around the body of water. It is kept spotless, and a good place to exercise.

This is the best place on a clear day. So open and clear that you can forget where you are. Free admission with open trails for bikes and walking.

Would be nice if parent and child could jump together. There is a lot to do. Changing table in men's room is in handicapped stall but the garbage can is outside the stall. Toddler time is between 10 and noon, but be aware: Your toddler doesn't get the full two hours, just an hour (although an hour was enough for my child.)
10. Xscape Theatres

Reviewed By AlexanderD - New Jersey
I have been to Xscape Theatres twice since they opened and was pleased with my experience both times. It is great to have a movie theater five minutes away, something the Howell-Jackson area was sorely in need of. No more heading down to Brick or up to Freehold to see movies.
The theater itself is very nice in addition to its convenience. There is nice stadium style seating in a modern, clean setting. I have no complaints. If you live in the area, check it out.
