Our real estate agents know that keeping kids busy during spring break is no easy feat. Taking your children on a fun educational outing or two during their week off is a great way to make some memories. Here are a few standout spots to learn and play in Bergen County this spring break.
SEA LIFE Aquarium New Jersey
1 American Dream Way, Suite A, East Rutherford, NJ 07073
If you can't get to the beach this spring break, visiting the SEA LIFE Aquarium New Jersey is the next best thing. This family-friendly aquarium near our Ridgewood homes for sale is stuffed with interesting marine creatures, including stingrays, jellyfish, seahorses, and even sharks! Let your little ones get acquainted with anemones at the Touch Pool or stroll through the Sea Tunnel to get a panoramic view of the attraction's fish and sea creatures in their natural habitat. You'll leave with a whole new appreciation for the incredible undersea biome that lurks just below the Jersey shoreline.
Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum of New Jersey
400 Fred Wehran Drive, Teterboro, NJ 07608
The Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum of New Jersey is a must-see attraction for any kids with an affinity for science and engineering. During their visit, they'll get to see everything from model airplanes and helicopters to specialty aircraft, the engine from the X-15 rocket-powered plane, and the very first American hovercraft. Curious youngsters will love the new Fundamentals of Flight interactive exhibit, a hands-on experience that teaches participants about the basics of aerodynamics. Museum tickets must be reserved in advance and cost $15 for adults or $12 for children aged 3 to 12. Kids under 3 get in for free.
Tenafly Nature Center
313 Hudson Ave., Tenafly, NJ 07670
Tenafly Nature Center is a great spot to get stir-crazy kids to stretch their legs. You and your little ones can enjoy a scenic walk along the Bellflower Faerie Trail or the Storywalk Trail, go birdwatching on the bird trail, visit the birds of prey at the aviary, run around the Nature Playscape, or hang out with the butterflies, frogs, and salamanders at the butterfly house and pond. Older kids can participate in activities like letterboxing, geocaching, and hunting for Pokemon through the Pokemon Go app. Visits cost just $2 per person and get you access to most of the center's facilities. Some activities require a small additional fee.
Bergen County Zoo
216 Forest Ave., Paramus, NJ 07652
The Bergen County Zoo is open during spring break—and it's less busy than in the summer months, too. You and your kids can learn all about the zoo's lizards, frogs, and other small creatures at the Education and Discovery Center or head into the main exhibit areas to see wolves, mountain lions, monkeys, and more. On top of its high educational and entertainment value, this is also a very affordable outing for families on a budget near our Parasmus homes for sale.
