The young and the young at heart won’t be able to wait to cool down at Land of Make Believe & Pirates Cove. This award winning water park offers guests a great escape from the summertime heat, straight into water recreation. Float along a lazy river, swirl down the Black Hole, get drenched by a giant water cannon, soak in the wading pool and much, much more!

Stroll through the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden in Staten Island for an awe-inspiring melding of greenery and architecture. This historical collection of buildings houses massive art galleries and museums. However, the beautifully landscaped grounds are the best part for lovers looking for the perfect backdrop for a romantic date.

Sit down and sip on some awesome coffee and munch on delicious food at Rockn’ Joe, a locally run New Jersey franchise. If you find yourself near the Union train station and need a pick-me-up (or just crave a well-crafted beverage and delightful pastry), be sure to stop by this rockin’ coffeehouse!

Enjoy a performance by the tight-knit ensemble at Dreamcatcher Repertory Theatre in an intimate venue. This small, community-oriented theater produces a variety of classic and contemporary plays, improv comedies and holiday specials all year long.
