South Jersey-- The Perfect Destination

How To Travel South Jersey

in Three Days

I wanted to share with you my experience with South New Jersey and its activities for kids and family. If you are planning a trip to this Region there is so much to do. Having had experience planning summer trips for kids at day camp, here are some suggestions. Sea Isle City has a beach walk early in the morning; its run through the city, so you need to find out the street and all the information. Its about an hour long, but you learn a great deal about the things you discover on a beach. I will update my post with better information once I investigate it. I know they still have it as I just read it in one of those free circulars. Then head on over to Wildwood and go to Morey's Pier on the Waterslides. Another great time for the kids and adults too since they have live music and a beach bar pouring all your favorites.

Day two involves some activity. Travel up the turnpike and hit Jackson for Great Adventure and the Wild Safari. Be sure to drive a hard top vehicle because the animals roam around your vehicle. There are wonderful shows so be sure to plan your time accordingly. I always remember the Dive Show and a waterski show if they still have it. Just minutes from Great Adventure on some shops, so save some money and have a great time. There is also a water park, but you will have your fill in Wildwood.

Day Three starts off at the NJ Motorsports Park with the go karts. They are better than Wildwood as you race around a track at high speeds. Then grab a quick bite to eat in Millville at Custard Corral just off of Broad Street their cheesesteaks are out of this world. Then head over to Bridgeton Zoo or Cape May Zoo and spend the rest of your day. I could plan about a week long excursion, but for now this is a quick getaway. At night you can travel on RT 40 / 322 towards Atlantic City and spend some time at Borders Bookstore and then Chucky Cheese for the kids. There is a wonderful Japanese Restaurant right there for dinner. I hope your enjoyed your stay. If you have really young kids then Story Book Land is just minutes away from Chucky Cheese. South New Jersey is fun for all ages.
