What to do and see in New Jersey, United States: The Best Dinner Theaters

August 29, 2021 Leida Jutras

Whether you are looking for sun-drenched beaches or outdoor activities in beautiful countryside, New Jersey has plenty to offer. Those who love the great outdoors should head for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which runs along the Delaware River for forty miles. Here you can go rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking or fishing, or simply admire the stunning waterfalls. There is a huge range of hiking trails to choose from as well as historic sites to visit. In winter, you can enjoy cross-country skiing near Blue Mountain Lakes, and birdwatchers might be lucky enough to catch sight of bald eagles. If you are looking for a change, visit one of New Jersey's eleven lighthouses that are open to public, such as the one in Cape May. For art and history enthusiasts, New Jersey State Museum in Trenton has historic artifacts and American fine art from the nineteenth century to the present day as well as a Planetarium.

Any visit to Monmouth County, NJ isn't complete without a theater experience at this excellent local theater in Atlantic Highlands. They are actually continuing to perform during this pandemic with social distancing practices in force. Delicious cakes and coffee, tea and soda to enjoy before the play and at intermission. Most of the plays are by local talents and keep you happily engaged in a wonderful evening/afternoon well spent. The latest play, Bad Medicine finished its run tonight and was hysterically funny from the first scene to the last. The BEST in local theater in the entire area at a great price. Time well spent!!

We decided to go with our 3 year old and I am very happy with out decision!! The food: While I miss the Cornish hen of yesteryear, the food really is well made and delicious! The soup as always great, the garlic bread tasty, the chicken corn and potato spot on. The servers: Were very attentive, helpful and super nice! They let my 3 year old pick without being rushed which, in that setting was GREAT! The show: It is really just fun, the horses are really impressive and the story line is great! As a small family, with the little guy I was hoping he would love it and he did. He was a bit scared at first with the lights down and fog but within minutes he was standing and cheering for our knight and allies. He followed the idea of the allies without explanation from us so, that is HUGE and obviously clear! The checkin: Checkin was quick and the person checking us in heard my son hope to wear a red crown... That section was full but he got us into red and yellow! Amazing that the gentleman checking us in heard my son and got him one of his favorite colors!! Loved our experience and we will definitely be back!
