The adventures never end at some of these family-friendly locations where you and the kids are sure to make some great memories together.

Jenkinson’s Aquarium

The family-friendly exhibits at Jenkinson’s Aquarium are designed to help visitors gain awareness about the animals they house and their habitats. This aquarium has been providing the community with a fun, educational experience since 1991. There are always events going on throughout the year, like Wildlife Conservation Day and Junior Keepers. Each of these events give visitors a unique perspective on the aquarium. 

You’ll see plenty of wildlife during your visit, such as African penguins, harbor seals, and some of the area’s local fish, too. Young and old alike will enjoy reaching into the touch tank. You’ll be able to gently touch a variety of sea creatures including sea stars, sea urchins, horseshoe crabs, and more. It makes for a fun day with an educational twist.

Asbury Park Boardwalk

Are you into art? Do you like good food? What do you think about incredible live music? Whether you’re interested in one or all of these things, the Asbury Park Boardwalk is for you. It’s located along a historic beachfront promenade where you’ll find vibrant murals and one of the world’s best live music scenes. Fantastic food awaits your taste buds at restaurants such as Pop’s Garage, Stella Marina, The Anchor’s Bend, and lots more.

Kids will especially love the Asbury Eighteen mini golf course, Asbury Splash Park in the summer, and the Silverball Museum which is home to more than 6,000 pinball machines. Catch a live performance with the family at the Paramount Theatre; the acoustics are amazing. Find that unique item you’ve been looking for at one of the cool boutique shops. The Fun House has some unexpected toys for the whole family, as well as clothes, towels, stickers, and so much more.

Monster Mini Golf

At Monster Mini Golf, the whole family can join in the fun. The 18-hole course comes alive with a glow-in-the-dark virtual canvas as the backdrop. It makes for a different spin on some classic fun. Kids will love interacting with the animated monsters located throughout the course. After you finish your golf game, head over to the state-of-the-art arcade where you can enjoy some of your old favorites, as well as try out some new ones. You can win tickets that are redeemable for fun prizes, which just adds to the excitement.

Finally, challenge yourself in the laser maze. You’ll have to think strategically and use your ninja skills to conquer the maze and come out a winner. Of course, everyone’s a winner when you’re having as much fun as you’re sure to have at Monster Mini Golf.
