Revel in the fun at the Newark Museum, where 80 galleries and a creative play area built for children ages 3-12 are sure to delight. Kids will also enjoy the planetarium, where they can pretend to launch into space. With places like the Adventure Aquarium as well, discovering marine science through touch tanks and animal encounters has never been more fun.
Meander through Camden’s Children’s Garden, a beautiful four-acre sanctuary that offers themed gardening activities for kids of all ages.
