Some of the wonderful places that we have been to in Union County, NJ! We have loved each and single one of these, and there is just so much to see there! I hope you like going on our adventures with us, or go out there and enjoy some on your own!
Here are some wonderful Union County destinations to check out with your family!
Watchung Reservation
Enjoy a beautiful hike, a nature center and museum with many classes, a great playground, fishing, or come for a picnic.
Liberty Hall Museum
What a wonderful place this is. It allows you to come face to face with History: to touch it, to feel it, to learn it! The kids and adults will enjoy this tremendously.
Ponderosa Spray Ground Park
This park is great for families with younger kids. Enjoy the water, have fun on the slides and swings, and bring a picnic to have in the shade of the trees. It is a lovely day out.
Reeves Reed Arboretum
It is a beautiful place to visit. We enjoyed a hike as a family, strolled through the gardens, and sat around for a while in a very nice meditative spot. They have many festivals and events throughout the year, so be sure to check it out!
Pump It Up
PUMP IT UP was really exciting news for me when it opened up. There is one not far from us and it is a great rainy day activity.
Oak Ridge Archery Range
Did you know that archery is a martial art? I didn’t. That is until I took a safety class with some wonderful instructors at Oak Ridge Archery Range. If you would like more about shooting a bow, or take some classes to improve your skills, this is a place for you.
Bowcraft Amusement Park
Bowcraft is a fun little amusement park in Union County, NJ. It is right on Rt. 22. We have gone there many times. It’s a nice place to stop by with the kids for some fun.
