New Jersey offers a diverse array of ways to take advantage of or escape the cold. This article breaks down 20 of the best places to find New Jersey winter activities, and what to expect when you get there. Each of our top 20 New Jersey winter experiences meets one of these criteria.
The Tropical Biosphere pool area makes you forget the cold with its gorgeous pool layout and attractive plant life.
Visit the Wine Cellar, then step outside to the Schnapps Lounge and enjoy a cocktail by the fire pit. Get pampered while you escape the snow β the Reflections Spa at Grand Cascades Lodge is a decadent experience for mind and body. Turn a fabulous dinner into a wonderful winter memory by dining in one of the heated outdoor igloos in their festively lit courtyard.
Need menu suggestions? Start with the Mediterranean mezzes, like the grilled Halloumi cheese and apricots. Split a flatbread with goat cheese and figs, then choose from several wonderful entrees.
We like the Turkish gozleme, a crispy flatbread with mashed smoked eggplant, kashkaval cheese, feta and yogurt sauce. North Jersey skaters flock to the Ice House in Hackensack for public skating, figure skating, skating lessons and ice hockey. The facility boasts 4 NHL size ice rinks, which are home to figure skaters and over adult league hockey players. Check the public skating schedule for a list of specific dates and times β tickets are purchased at the venue, and open skate does not include ice hockey.
