Built and staffed by the NJ Youth Corps, the Jersey Explorer Children’s Museum allows children to “live” history and “play” science through a variety of excellent interactive exhibitions and attractions. The minute you and your kids walk through the door, everyone becomes an explorer! Search for an ancient mummy, journey through a distant galaxy, travel back to the Underground Railroad and much, much more!
Don’t miss a historical monument! With Newark Landmarks, you’ll receive a guided tour through some of the most historic and memorable buildings and districts. Let Liz Del Tufo and other members of the Newark Preservation & Landmark Committee give you their expert opinions on places like downtown, the Button Factory or Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
