The Garden State may seem like a small place, but visitors soon discover, there’s more to see and do in New Jersey than one could ever imagine!
From 127 miles of white, sandy beaches to 1.1 million acres of pristine pinelands; from more than 100 Revolutionary War battles fought on New Jersey soil to the ‘Invention Factories’ of Thomas Edison; from the wealth of museums tracing history, culture and ethnic heritage to exciting venues that attract world-class entertainment in Atlantic City, Newark, Camden, Holmdel and Trenton; from the more than 250 public and private golf courses to more than 4,000 freshwater lakes, ponds, rivers and streams, New Jersey is indeed what National
Geographic coined ’America in Miniature’.
