There are a number of fun things to do in New Jersey– it’s only a matter of seeing how many you can cram into your itinerary!

Staying Safe

New Jersey may have beautiful beaches, charming towns and an abundance of great food, but it also has its share of crime. Here are some tips to keep you safe while visiting this state:

Stay alert in touristy areas

These places can be lively but can also be dangerous. Make sure to keep your wallet in your front pocket and your phone in your front pocket or a backpack that you’re carrying to avoid falling victim to pickpockets.

Use common sense when walking alone at night

If you’re planning to meet up with friends at a bar or restaurant and it’s after dark, try to arrange a meeting place that’s well-lit and visible. That being said, it’s best to avoid walking at night on your own altogether.

You can enjoy a wide variety of activities and attractions, from winery tours and state park hikes to concerts at the MetLife Stadium.
