Of course a great way to spend the day is in NYC. This is the city Justin proposed and will always have a special place in our hearts. From Union NJ, hop on the New Jersey transit, make a pit stop at Newark, and arrive at Penn Station in NYC. Visit the New Jersey transit website to purchase train tickets and view times and locations. We prefer to take the train from Kean University.
So much to see here! Visit NYC skyline, hop on a ferry and visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. So much historical significance with great views. Within Liberty State Park, stop by the Liberty Science Center to explore architecture, shows, and interactive stations for the kids.
A huge mall that you can spend your day at. Plenty of shops and food, but if you are looking for more activities, you can always stop by the indoor ski slopes, the indoor waterpark, the ice skating rink, or the indoor amusement park. A fun way to spend the day with the family.
