Old Man Winter has made an early appearance this season so I scouted a number of local activities to keep the little ones occupied. Here are a few options that are available for the month of November. Check out the list below for more details.
Fall Bird Walk
200 Morris Pesin Dr
Jersey City, NJ
Who doesn’t love spending time in nature, especially when you live in the city? Luckily we have our own great lawn, Liberty State Park which allows children of all ages to explore nature on guided tours. Children will be able to observe various habitats while learning about all of the different species that have migrated to LSP.
