Take your child on a NJ Transit Train Ride
104 Things for kids to do this summer in New Jersey
Kids love trains. Plan your next day trip around a train ride. Take a train ride into New York City for a fun day there or maybe just a local trip. In the summer, New Jersey Transit has a great shoreline train route that goes from Point Pleasant to Matawan and beyond. Stop off at any one of the shore points along the way.
Point Pleasant has a great beach and boardwalk. Asbury Park and Long Branch have newly renovated beach fronts and Red Bank is a great shopping stop for a bit of downtown urban culture without going to the city.
There’s plenty of trainbound destinations around New Jersey suitable for families with young children.
