My wife and I took our granddaughters (age 10 & 12) to Northlandz. I notice that some of the other reviewers were giving Northlandz low ratings. I disagree with them. If you know anything at all about building model train layouts you will find Northlandz to be outstanding. The train layouts in themselves are amazing for kids. No it is not Minecraft or some other app or video game. So if you expect your kids to be dazzled by modern cell phone phenomena don't bother going. Also it is a little used, the carpets are not brand new, the bathrooms are not new but they certainly are okay (not what some of the other reviewers are saying). Northlandz is well worth the admission. Also, we went on the Sunday a week before Christmas 2017. The parking lot was full. If you like model trains please go.

Beautiful grounds and buildings. Farmers market (limited dates) was very interesting with many types of foods to sample and buy. Outdoor market was primarily veggies. An alternate area was available to get information on the grounds and activities for the environment. Also had hiking and bicycle paths. Would be very nice to go spring or early fall. I think tours are available by reservation.

Red Mill Museum Village

Reviewed By giftedelaine - Bridgewater NJ USA

You've seen this museum before since it is one of the most photographed locations in all of New Jersey. Great museum with a whole historical village behind it. Four stories to explore in the museum itself and then a great WWI exhibit in the administrative building and then some other structures: school house, log cabin, stone sorter, storage barn, quarry office and more. We had a great day! Visited museum for half a day...walked into town for lunch..and came back to explore the rest. Staff friendly. Will be closed for 2 weeks at end of September to ready the site for a Halloween Spooky Event. Great venue for weddings. Just went there for one a week ago, and the setting was just beautiful.

Top notch entertainment for reasonable prices. Can't beat the shows, but their new programs are really fun. Their Tuesdays with Stories programs are held at 12 and 7 and examine books and have a one-person interpreter who acts out some of the scenes...followed by a Q and A with the artist. At lunch there are small snacks with a $5.00 lunch available for preordering. In the evening there is wine and cheese between the presentation and the Q and A. Another fun program is their Club 28 which is a cozy, on-the-state cabaret style performance. The performer/s sit facing the audience, while the guests are on stage at small cabaret style tables for 4 and you are right up close and personal with the artist. For the 12 o'clock performance there are small snacks, but for the evening performance there is wine, soda, water, and cookies with snacks on the table. Each ticket entitles the bearer to 2 free alcohol drinks...wine or beer...and the soda, water, and cookies are on the house. Attendee all comment on how cozy and nice this experience is! It's great entertainment with a nice atmosphere.

Round Valley Recreation Area

Reviewed By Deb7111 - Lebanon, NJ

Easy trails alongside a picturesque reservoir. Remember to use your tick spray since it is heavily wooded. Pretty every season of the year. Great place to walk the dogs, but please, please, please remember that it is carry in/carry out. Bring your doggie bags.

I enjoyed playing Neshanic Valley. It was my first trip to the area and I paired up with a twosome. We played a four hour round on Saturday late morning. That's pretty good. Course is very interesting. Greens were great. I'll definitely come back.

Columbia Trail

Reviewed By scott t - Glen Gardner, New Jersey

It can be hit as heck everywhere else but the trail with overhanging trees and leaves creates a nice cool trail to walk, jog or bike ride along. Added benefit is all the little gnome homes that people have left as well as geocaching. Beautiful area to walk along and a great view and story if you make it to the bridge where the train derailed. There are other plaques along the way that have bits of history.

Parking i use is in high bridge directly across from entrance. It can get crowded as it's a popular place to be

We love Bridgewater commons shopping Mall. We always stay near to there whilst visiting friends in New Jersey. It's somewhere we head to straight away, great selection of shops and good places to eat, inside and out.
