Visiting New York means you are perfectly placed to hop across the river and visit New Jersey at the time you wish. In fact, these days, you can skip the crowds and the hustle and bustle in New York airports and fly directly into New Jersey using one of its many smaller, private airports. With commercial and private airports such as Teterboro Airport, you can experience a more secluded and claiming flight and airport experience.
From here, you can book yourself a transfer using an exclusive Princeton Car and Limo Service to help you get to where you need to be. In fact, Teterboro airport is ideal for accessing many popular destinations, including Princeton and Newark, and, of course, New York itself is a 30-minute car ride away.
So now you’re in New Jersey, where can you go?
Atlantic City
Atlantic City is no doubt one of the big draws to New Jersey, not just for its bright lights and good times. Known primarily for its nightlife, casinos, and boardwalk, it can be the ideal destination for hotel booking to up the ante on their trip and explore everything New Jersey has to offer tourists. It’s a 2-hour drive from Teterboro airport or New York but still easily accessible for those staying off longer than a day or so and well worth the drive out.
Six Flags Adventure
Just over an hour’s drive into New Jersey from New York City is Six Flags Adventure Theme Park, One of the most well-known US theme parks. There are three separate parks to help you get your thrills and have an experience to remember. You can head to the theme park and take on one of the many rollercoasters and rides at your disposal. Or you can visit the drive-through safari and get up close and personal with one of its four-legged residents, or you can take it to the water in the next-door waterpark. Why not do all three and give yourself a vacation to remember? But with it being so close to New York, you can easily travel to and from Six Flags for a day trip out of the city.
Liberty State Park
Just on the other side of the river, Liberty State Park is reachable in under 30 minutes by either car ferry or train; the bus takes longer to reach your destination. But the route over can be part of the trip itself, especially if you take the water option. Once you get to Liberty State Park, not only will you be treated to spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty, you will be up close and personal with some stunning scenery and historical backdrops. With a two-mile promenade, playgrounds, and picnic areas, it’s ideal for escaping the city and experiencing a slower pace of life, even if just for a few hours.
Liberty Science Centre
If you want to add a little bit of education and learning to your trip, Liberty Science Centre is a massive draw with visitors. Again you can reach it from New York in under 30 minutes, guaranteeing a day full of fun and learning. With something for everyone from young kids to older ones and everyone in between, if you or your family have a zest for learning in a fun environment, the Liberty Science Centre is not to be missed.
Hoboken
Hoboken, New Jersey, is ideally located to be accessible from NY in under 20 minutes, and if you’re flying into Teterboro airport, it’s just under 30 minutes by car too. But why visit this place? Described as Manhattan without the taxis, Hoboken is a thriving city with the best views of the Manhattan skyline and a spectacular food and nightlife scene too. Plus, it is also home to the famous Carlo’s Bakery of reality TV fame. Other things to do include:
- Exploring Little Island.
- Climbing at The Gravity Vault.
- Looking at the art in the PHOTO Gallery.
- Watching the sunset at Castle Point Lookout.
Whatever you choose to do, you can be sure to find yourself a good time when visiting Hoboken.
New York is a thriving and enticing city with something for everyone and an intoxicating charm that attracts visitors year after year. But is it also an ideal location to spread your wings and see what the other side of the Hudson River offers? Whether you’re flying into a private airport in New Jersey to avoid the busy NY-based airports or traveling across the river, there is plenty to explore when you leave the bright lights of the city that never sleeps.
