1. Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park
Overall Ratings
4 based on 322 reviews
The history of the City of Paterson includes its beginnings as the ambitious project of Alexander Hamilton and the Society for Establishing Useful Manufacturers (S.U.M.) in 1792 at the Great Falls, the early development of water power systems for industrial use, and the various types of manufacturing that occurred in the District's mills into the 20th Century. These included cotton fabrics, railroad locomotives, textile machinery, jute, and silk spinning, weaving, and dyeing, among many others. The Great Falls also represents compelling stories of the lives of immigrants who labored in the mills, those who owned and operated manufacturing concerns and became wealthy, and the quest of laborers and the labor movement for better working conditions and pay. Immigrants still settle today in Paterson to pursue their versions of Hamilton's vision, creating a diverse and vibrant culture.

First time I visited the Falls was last year and I was pleasantly surprised. However, there was litter scattered about and the garbage baskets were overflowing. I don’t know if there are food carts, bathroom facilities or on site maintenance in the park but that may boost visitor attendance.
2. Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center

On a beautiful weekend afternoon, we travelled up to Montclair University to visit the Yogi Berra Museum. We are not baseball fans, and only found out about this museum through a Groupon. We were definitely NOT disappointed.
There is dedicated free museum parking available across from the museum. The museum is the building in front of the Yogi Berra Stadium, which was open the day we visited. We were able to see athletes warming up on the cozy field, choose our stadium seats, check out the picnic area.
Inside the museum, there is a Yogi Berra timeline that follows an American History timeline. The cases were filled with memorabilia from Yogi Berra's life, and from baseball in general. There were opportunities to press buttons for interactive videos, sit in antique stadium seats, purchase new merchandise. There is even a theater that looks like a ball field.
3. Presby Iris Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 61 reviews
Reviewed By Marc S - Randolph, New Jersey
Presby Memorial Iris Gardens is a remarkable garden, with over 10,000 irises, 1,500 varieties and over 100,000 blooms over the entire season. Like any other garden, it makes sense to inquire about the stage of the bloom. Visiting the garden in late May, we still saw many beautiful irises. However the majority of viewed irises looked well past their prime.
Parking is available on the street, and I am sure it can sometimes be challenging. We easily found a spot. Importantly be sure to check the weather. Overcast skies with little or no wind will help with your photography.

Grrrreat Wings - done EXACTLY as requested, raucous - but friendly - crowd, many sports TVs, in short: atmosphere, atmosphere,
atmosphere ...... everything you'd want - and hope for - in a neighborhood Dive Bar. Can't wait to go back for the Raw Bar and seafood which will be very soon based on this happy, Friday afternoon experience

Gun For Hire is our favorite shooting range. The place is clean, well organized, and safe. Great place for any level of comfort. My husband is far more experienced than I am, but I would feel comfortable going here on my own. Everyone I've come in contact with is knowledgeable and helpful.

A good average Jersey mall. Food court is ok but has no normal pizza place, just a specialty pizza place. The rest is run of the mill food court. The store selection is average. It does have 2 stores which sell cheap suits which I have taken advantage of in a pinch!

Summer concert series in progress again. Local residents appreciate the high quality upgrade on track, football/soccer field and so on. Rose garden and archery facilities maintained by clubs. And there is a dog park. Well used park.

Nasty older lady at the front desk seemed bothered we were there.
$5 entrance fee for a self guided tour, A mishmash of art work, sculptures, furnishings and historical displays. The architecture of the home is stunning but there was no one to discuss this with.
The NY city skyline "view"?? Maybe if you were sitting on the roof. The trees have grown so large they obstruct a clear view so "peek-a boo" would be a more appropriate term
The grounds seem popular with wedding photographers as there were three there during our visit...but the very small court yards were underwhelming and without the city view as a backdrop (now that would be stunning) why bother?
10. Van Vleck House & Gardens

Reviewed By Albert F Z - Garfield, New Jersey
A "must see" for anyone looking to stroll wonderful gardens or just experience a quiet setting to read, picnic and enjoy nature. The grounds of this former family estate include many paths leading to nooks and small pastures. Also, there is an education center and restrooms. Admission is free but there is a donation box. I urge all to contribute whatever you can afford.
