Indoor Fun in New Jersey! Hunterdon & Middlesex County Playspaces

Submitted by Sasha Muzzarelli on Mon, 02/24/2014 - 7:30am

It's that time of the winter where we’re all going a little stir crazy! If your house is anything like mine, you’ve probably exhausted almost every indoor activity and creative motivation come late February – we’ve done play dough, painting, indoor bowling and baked countless batches of cookies. It’s amazing how kids have seemingly endless energy! So instead of spending another afternoon cooped up, head out to one of these awesome indoor play spaces in Central Jersey.

Submitted by Sasha Muzzarelli on Wed, 02/12/2014 - 7:30am

It’s probably safe to say that most of us have had enough of the snow, the cold and, well – basically everything having to do with winter! It can be all too easy to sit inside and let the frigid temps get the best of you, but while we’re waiting (and wishing!) for that first sign of spring, why not keep busy with some engaging activities? As usual, Jersey delivers and we’ve got some great events going on in our state. Kick back and watch a performance, like The Secret Life of Hubie Hartzel at The Growing Stage or the always enchanting Wizard of Oz at SOPAC. We’re also in the middle of maple sugaring season so check out a demo at Tenafly Nature Center. And if the kids want to roll up their sleeves for some hands-on fun, head to Newark Museum to learn about The Science & Art of Sport.
