The Newark Museum, New Jersey's largest museum, invites you to enjoy unforgettable experiences in the arts and natural sciences. Take an inspirational journey through 80 galleries of world-class collections, travel to the stars in our popular Planetarium, and stroll through our beautiful sculpture garden.
At the center of the historic & once grand Newark downtown the first class museum with striking exhibit space offers insights into both the old & resurgent city. Adjacent to the elegant Ballantine mansion, overflowing with silver & handsome furnishings, the eclectic collection contains masterpieces from the 19th century & Hudson River School, Corning & Steuben glass, jewelry & modern crafts as well. Although we ran out of time, on our next visit - with discounts for seniors - we look forward to exploring the 20th century art.

Branch Brook Park is a great place to relax on the beautiful grass or a quiet walk around the park on the new rubberized walkways. Its a great place for one to meditate on life while gazing at the beautiful trees to absorb all that nature has to offer. Its a place where I go to let go of the past and regroup to continue moving forward. Whether your alone, with love ones, or just friends, Branch brook Park offers a unique experience for all to enjoy.

You find authentic food dishes as if you were in Portugal. Friendly and safe just off the train at Penn Station travel down Ferry Street. Or by car to get to some of the hidden treasures (restaurants) off Ferry St.

This is a very well kept park. The trees and foliage are beautiful in Military Park! They have the grass finely manicured and lots of places to sit. There are monuments that are very well detailed and placed in exactly the right spots. There are many events that go on in this park, food vendors when events are going on and my favorite-live music when they have it. Everyone is friendly no matter race, creed or religion. I have met nice people here nearly everytime I go. The groundskeepers are helpful and pleasant and they do a wonderful job on the park upkeep! It is easy to get to, as well. The Newark Light rail is right at this park and so many different bus lines stop here or very close by. I have been to art exhibits for domestic violence victims here. The art was wonderful. I have seen awesome bands play here with lots of different food trucks with different varieties of food. The food is yummy and it's always a nice time at Military Park for the young, the adults and the seniors. Everyone enjoys this park. It is very serene in certain areas even with all the downtown Newark traffic around there. Look up events online and make a visit, because a nice time awaits!!!

This was my first visit from New Jersey airport to NYC and the clear signage with friendly staff made it easy. The short monorail from the airport to the station is clear to find and only took a few minutes. The train station is really clear too, with display terminals with easy options for round trip or regular. It is nice that the round trip is for 9 days so it covers the length of my shirt stop here. Penn station here I come!
