16 days in Newark Itinerary

Newark is the most populous city in the U.S. state of New Jersey and the seat of Essex County. Kids will appreciate attractions like Bronx Zoo and Gateway National Recreation. Discover out-of-the-way places like Turtle Back Zoo and Jenkinson's Aquarium. Change things up with these side-trips from Newark: Belmar Beach (in Belmar), Bergen County Zoological Park (in Paramus) and Duke Farms (in Hillsborough). Spend the 8th (Sat) exploring nature at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. There's much more to do: identify plant and animal life at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, make a splash at SplashDown Beach, enjoy the sand and surf at Ship Bottom Beach, and pause for some serene contemplation at The Great Auditorium.
