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!!

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.

We have attended quite a few productions at this theater and have found all to be well performed and staged. This recreation of the aging Algonquin Theater is a genuine addition to the arts community. Professional theater equipment complements the local and touring artists in a comfortable space.

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.
8. Manasquan Beach

Located just south of New York City, this beach is known for good swimming and surfing.
Reviewed By chazzster - Keansburg, New Jersey
A little cold to swim right now, but that doesn't stop the surfers! And there's plenty of them, and they are
as good as they get on the Jersey Shore. One of the top high school surfing teams in the nation. It's a clean, well maintained, well protected and managed beach. The safest beach you could ask for. Top notch lifeguards during the season. Great fishing at the inlet just steps away from the surfer beach.
9. Jenkinson's Boardwalk

Reviewed By Matanda28 - Somerset, New Jersey
we always come down for the day during the early and late months of the off season- mid Sept. cant be beat! it is mostly locals and most things are still open. Lots of arcades w/ photo booths, and games to win prizes. There are tons of great beach food options-Jersey shore pizza ( really cant be beat), funnel cake, beer, etc.. prices are a bit high, but that's to be expected. Crowds aren't too thick, but parking can be tough - if you are willing to walk a few blocks, you can find something. It's a quaint but lively area- good energy and a nice boardwalk for walking. It's busy as can be during the summer, but wonderfully peaceful during the offseason.
