Ski Resorts


New Jersey Ski Resorts are a rare sight but we definitely have them! And they are definitely worth visiting. You can’t forget about winter time. There are 3 ski resorts in the lovely state of NJ.

The first ski resort is Mountain Creek in Vernon Township, NJ. It is 47 miles from NYC. It is the largest Ski Resort in New Jersey. This resort has 167 skiable acres and 4 interconnected peaks. They have a total of 7 ski lifts. Mountain Creek is known for being a resort that teaches. They offer golf, lodging, spa amenities, skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, many restaurants, and much more. A one day pass to all of these activities is $79 for adults and $59 for children. It might seem a little pricy but it is worth it. The fun from snow tubing alone pays for the ticket twice.

The next ski resort is Campgaw Mountain in Mahwah, NJ. They are part of the Ramapo Mountain Region. There are 1.3 km of slopes and 2 ski lifts to transport guests. They also offer lessons starting at $39. They have daily group, private, and semi-private lessons. A daily ticket is $45 per person. They have two 18 hole golf courses. Campgaw Mountain has been open for 58 years and they get an average snowfall of 45 inches.

The last ski resort is the American Dream Meadowlands in East Rutherford, NJ. It is not open yet but it is projected to be open in June, 2019. It is an indoor ski resort. They offer skiing and snowboarding for .3 km of slopes. There are more than 450 shops and more than 100 eateries. They have an indoor ice rink, indoor theme park, indoor water park, concert hall, indoor ski slope, 18 hole mini golf, dine-in cinema, bowling alley, and aquarium.

I recommend going to all. The one at the top of my bucket list is the American Dream Meadowlands. I cannot wait until they open. It will be a great spot for children and I will be one of the children when I am there!

New Jersey is a beautiful state to live in and visit. There are a lot of national and state parks within this 8,723 square mile state. It is a park that experiences all four seasons which makes the nature within it that much more beautiful. My favorite park to visit is Cooper River Park. It runs through Pennsauken, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, and Haddon Township. It is a total of 346 acres. As a kid, going to this park was the best part of my weekend spent with my grandparents.   We would take a loaf of stale bread to feed to the birds and ducks in the river. We would also watch the turtles walk in and out of the water. The playground is massive and I could spend hours there.       The amount of activities offered at this park is endless. The have the playground with pavilions scattered around it. This provides plenty of space for parties and gatherings. They even have 4 separate picnic areas. There are 2 softball fields, 4 volleyball courts, and a...

Zoos and aquariums are important to every state. They help preserve and save endangered species. They care for wounded wildlife and sea life. Animals are nursed to health at these sanctuaries. By visiting these beautiful animals, money is raised towards their survival. New Jersey has a large variety of zoos and aquariums that can be visited. I personally have been to five. My favorite to visit is the Cape May County Park and Zoo. It does not have a set price; at the entrance there is a mail box where they will accept any donation that can be made. Cape May has lions, snow leopards, giraffes, bears, camels, deer, birds, foxes, a reptile house, a bird house, a petting zoo, and much more. They have a large park with a playground and many picnic tables next to coal grills. This is a great place to spend the entire day. There is plenty to do and see at this zoo. Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ on the Delaware River Camden Waterfront is home to more than 15,000 aquatic species in ...
