The theme for weekend activities seems to be outdoors, outdoors and more great outdoors! Your children can participate in several events on the Island while learning about the natural world around them or creating their own masterpiece. Explore the beauty of Fire Island or listen to stories that remind you of the seaside. Take a few steps back in time and watch an old fashioned baseball game. If you’ve got a future tech-guru on your hands, have them explore toys and try to make their own. There’s something for everyone this weekend. Find what’s perfect for you and your family in the seven events below.
This is the weekend to celebrate the State Fruit of New Jersey: the blueberry! There is a Blueberry Bash at Terhune Orchards and a BlueBEARy Blast at Camden Children's Garden to honor the state fruit. There are also plenty of summer parties this weekend including a Beach-themed Party at the Morris Museum, lots of music and art at Maplewoodstock, and a family fun day and ice cream social at the Museum of Early Crafts and Trades. Finally, for those who just want to get down and dirty with nature, you can go on a guided fossil hunt at Big Brook and get up close with caterpillars and the Bugseum of New Jersey.
Summer is now in full swing, but do not despair, it's not too late to enjoy the summer programs that Long Island has to offer. There is still a variety of organized activities available to suit every age and topic of interest. Take a look at the facilities below and their offerings!
