Fall is all about relaxation and enjoying the things that we have accomplished throughout the year. Fortunately, there are several different events that are fun for people of all ages happening in Ocean Township.
Jenkinson’s Boardwalk
Starting in 1928 as a soda fountain on the beach, this place quickly turned the small startup into a fun-filled playland. Jenkinson’s Boardwalk has plenty to do for everyone. There’s a beautiful beach to visit, but there’s also an aquarium, which even offers an adopt-an-animal program that allows you to sponsor an aquatic creature and receive photographs and unique plushes.
The attraction has a concession stand complete with a Sweet Shop that’s open all year, a built-in amusement park, and plenty of arcades with miniature golf. During fall, many of the attractions at the Boardwalk take on a different appearance, incorporating spooky themes into their rides and Halloween decorations throughout create a festive feeling.
Sky Zone
As one of the premier indoor trampoline parks, Sky Zone offers plenty of activity to keep the youngsters laughing and jumping for hours. They have a variety of different trampoline courses and events, such as their own Ninja Warrior Course, SkyHoops, SkyJoust, and Ultimate Dodgeball to keep the entire family entertained. They now even offer SkyWars, which is a competition that uses foam balls and a trampoline obstacle course to create a team tournament atmosphere with a game of capture the flag.
Kane Brewing Company
While not suitable for the children, this company has plenty to offer the adults in your group. It has a fine selection of premium craft beers. Their quality is unsurpassed and they focus on American blends with heavy Belgian influences. There’s the option for a guided tour if you choose or you can take your troop solo and marvel at all the company has to offer.
Township of Ocean Historical Museum
For those wanting a more reserved weekend, this historical museum fits the bill. The Revolutionary War-era farmhouse brings history to life as its staff is extremely knowledgeable about the area and will keep your family entertained with tales of local folklore and legends. They offer many curated exhibits that are frequently rotated, so there’s always something new and interesting for repeat visits.
The Queen Mary
Even during the fall, the Queen Mary sets sail for daily fishing expeditions to catch some local aquatic delicacies such as Blues, Alby, Sea Bass, and Porgy. In mid-October, special trips are also made for an attempt to catch Mahi and school tuna. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of sailing the high seas to pull in your dinner from the ocean, stop in for a treat and sail away into the fall’s chillier waters.
Autumn is for falling leaves and cooler temperatures, but that doesn’t mean that nothing is interesting in Ocean Township. Stop by any of these attractions for some fun that doesn’t necessarily involve pumpkins, ghosts, ghouls, or goblins. You’ll find that Ocean Township isn’t tricky at all and your stay will be a delightfully sweet treat.
