This small-ish state is big on personality, packed with possibility and will wow your group every chance it gets—from the dreamiest one-of-a-kind attractions to the most flavorful farm-to-table dining. Add in powder-soft beaches, jackpot bells and whistles, sites that changed the course of history and more—you'll begin to wonder just how many "wows" your group can take!
OVER 1,000 ATTRACTIONS
American Dream houses every imaginable pleasurable pursuit under its expansive roof, including the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park (the Western Hemisphere's largest indoor amusement park), Big Snow (North America's first and only indoor, real-snow, year-round ski and snow resort) and world-class shopping. Looking for edutainment? Must-dos include Liberty Science Center and Adventure Aquarium.
130 MILES OF BEACHES
Even beyond toes-in-the-sand season, the Jersey Shore delivers. Your group can dig into a blend of history and nature at the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area; jam to live music and photograph art murals in Asbury Park; excavate quartz pebbles affectionately known as Cape May "Diamonds," and admire the "Painted Ladies" homes in Cape May.
MORE THAN 400 CULTURAL EXPERIENCES
Majestic masterpieces loom large under open skies at Grounds For Sculpture, an outdoor art park with international acclaim, while exotic global collections can be explored at the Newark Museum of Art. Be sure to gaze upon wonders of science, history and the arts at the New Jersey State Museum.
