Tibetan Art? Check. Mummy? Check. Dinosaur poop? Check. The Newark Museum has it all, it's definitely a hidden gem you wish you knew about sooner. You're welcome. Oh, and Alison used to work there. She loved it.
Science is fun. Don't believe us? Go to the Liberty Science Center. Bonus: They have an Omnimax dome, which is like IMAX but a million times cooler.
If you're looking for a mall, Garden State Plaza is a quick drive away if you've forgot your shoes or you're feeling like shopping 'til you drop. It's closed on Sunday, but that shouldn't be a problem- we think you'll be busy ;)
Literally around the block from our venue, we took a quick visit and learned it's the second biggest waterfall east of the Mississippi. Oh, and say the word Niagara if you visit.
We've never been there, but it's close by and seems like fun! Let us know how it goes and we'll add it to our to do list!
