Best Things To Do in New Jersey May 2023 with Kids

From Mother's Day to Memorial Day, we've rounded up fun things to do in New Jersey all month long!
The Garden State is in full bloom this May, and our calendar is loaded with springtime fun. As warmer weather arrives, it's time to get outdoors and soak in the sun at food truck festivals, kite festivals, and the debut of outdoor movie season. Local town festivals take it to the streets in Ocean Grove, Kenilworth, and Lake Hopatcong.
The month also brings with it longer days and time to linger at a favorite destination playground, spread a blanket out for a leisurely picnic, and, come Memorial Day weekend, hit the sand and the surf at our favorite Jersey Shore beaches.
We’re adding more events to our Family Activity Calendar every day, so don’t forget to check it frequently.
