The Tuckerton Seaport Museum bills itself as a showcase for New Jersey's coastal culture, and my family and I had a great time visiting it this summer. The Jersey Shore institution offers boat rides, creek tours, a nature trail, a lighthouse, an old fishing village, and crafting. 

When I first looked at the website before visiting, I thought it would be for older children, but my kids ages 2, 6, and 8, were all happy with the visit because it offers activities that will appeal to a variety of ages.
