My boyfriend surprised me with a 3 hour couple's spa treatment at Alchemy Mind & Body and it was unreal. The overall ambiance and energy in the spa was so warm, inviting and peaceful. The staff was beyond courteous and kind. The facial by was out of this world and the massage therapists relieved our bodies of every ounce of tension. Felt like for a moment in time we were hidden away from the world and able to just melt away into ourselves and reset. We will absolutely go back and encourage everyone we know to go there and experience the bliss!

This is a wonderful spot to enjoy delicious craft cocktails made from their own spirits. The owners and their staff are terrific and the ambiance is quaint. Situated in a renovated historic warehouse/lumber yard, there are old photos on the wall, a fireplace and a cozy seating area. They don't serve food but you can bring your own or order delivery from local joints. And sometimes there is music or trivia or Chicken S#!t Bingo.

Step Into Earth Science.... Come take a ¼ mile underground walking adventure into the 4th oldest mine in the country and the last working underground mine in NJ. Most everything man made has something to do with mining. At the Sterling Hill Mining Museum well show you just how it's done. From drilling and blasting to the processing of the ore, we’ve got it all! While on tour you will see a mining equipment history display, a drilling and blasting demonstration and the world famous fluorescent "Rainbow Tunnel" where everybody gets to take home a fluorescent mineral specimen. Right here in NJ is one of the world's richest zinc ore deposits, the area boasts over 350 minerals, about 70 of which fluoresce. That's about 10% of the known minerals in the world right here in NJ. As well as the richest fluorescent mineral deposit in the world. You can collect minerals from all over the world, including fluorescence, yourself 7 days a week when the museum is open.

We enjoyed our visit and mine tour. Very good guides that relate the history of the mine and minerals. We spent about 2 hours here including the tour.

The Franklin Mineral Museum is an interesting small museum dealing with the New Jersey Mining industry. The museum I have to admit is stuck in a time warp where I swear it is 1975 there. The signs are still typed with a typewriter. What is lacks in aesthetics, it makes up in interest in the rock field, history of fossils and Native American art. There are three main galleries, one dedicated to minerals, rocks and gems, the next on fossils of both New Jersey and elsewhere and the next on American Indian art with arrowheads and equipment and then off to the is the Fluorescent room that when they turn off the lights off and turn the infrared lights on it is quite the lightshow. Near the entrance you can explore the simulated mine shaft where you can crawl and then walk through. It gives you an idea of how the old mine was mined and how the job worked. It is really interesting. In the back, you can pay to explore for rocks to take home, I walked in the quarry and looked for samples and in the end found three red fluorescent rocks and I thought that was pretty cool. The whole museum including exploring the quarry for stones is about two hours. You will not be bored here. It really does capture attention.

Fantastic selection of antiques, collectibles, and gifts. Individual vendors have set up their booths in attractive ways with LOTS of great things at very reasonable prices. The owners are friendly and helpful. You can count on being greeted with a smile and a warm hello! I visit Grey Barn on a regular basis because there are always new treasures to be found. In addition to all of the antiques and collectibles there is the Country Store section at the front of the shop where I found delicious honey, syrup, nuts and candies. They also have a well stocked section of Fusion paints. I always plan to spend at least an hour when I visit so I have time to look in each booth and every shelf. A great place to shop!

Came on a cold, rainy Friday evening to see a show. No one directed traffic so it was a mystery to where the parking lots are situated. I decided to just park on the street about 2 blocks away. Not really a bad walk to and from our parking spot but on a rain driven night it was borderline miserable. The theatre appears to be fully renovated and beautifully restored. Restrooms are on the lobby as you walk in. Women on the right side and men's on the left. You enter the doors and must climb a few steps to enter the theatre. Nice everywhere. I only have one major gripe. The seats are only spacious if you attend preschool or you live in a town of oompalompa's (no disrespect, just used as an analogy). The SEATS are way too small. Smaller than if you were to fly. Normal size patrons even have difficulty! I'm not happy to drive a few hours to watch a show/concert just to be in traction! Sorry to relay such unpleasant news but it's really true.
