Come by the New Jersey Performing Arts Center for an unforgettable performance! The NJPAC, one of the largest performing arts centers in the country, has played a vital role in revitalizing downtown Newark. This enormous entertainment complex features four prominent performance halls and theaters–Prudential Hall, Victoria Hall, The Chase Room, and Horizon Theater.
Located just minutes away from the heart of downtown and all of its attractions, Branch Brook Park is a gorgeous retreat in the middle of an urban landscape. Wander through its 360 acres of sprawling meadows and woodlands. Walk, jog, bike or birdwatch along the miles of undulating terrain, filled with streams and lakes and lined with 4,000 cherry blossom trees.
All ages are welcome at the Branch Brook Roller Skating Center, a state-run roller-skating rink in the park. Come for a skating lesson, watch the Garden State Rollergirls practice or just enjoy some fun public skating. Perfect for parties and themed events, this skating rink is open seven days a week during the daytime and evenings, as well as several late night events each week just for the adults.
