Be sure to book your tickets soon, so you don't miss out on the magic. Many events are limiting capacity in 2020. Bookmark this page as we'll update it with fun new happenings as we learn about them. You can also stay up to date with all the family-friendly fun in our Event Calendar and find more Christmas events and holiday hoopla in our seasonal Holiday Guide for New Jersey Families.

Editor's note: While we are trying to promote safer activities that occur outdoors or with social distancing guidelines in place, please keep your family and others safe by always wearing a mask and maintaining an appropriate distance. If you arrive at an event that appears too crowded, try using the “nearby” search feature on our Event Calendar to find something else to do. Keep in mind, reservations are required for many of these events, so plan your outings in advance, and be sure to click through to our listings for all the details, including address, time, and pricing.
