The storied Jersey Shore lives up to its reputation, especially lively Seaside Heights, bustling Asbury Park and family-oriented Ocean City, where boardwalk entertainment mingles steps away from the crashing waves. That means that from Memorial Day through Labor Day, locals and travelers alike head to the state’s Atlantic Ocean shoreline for its idyllic beach weather, bringing in the crowds, as well as making it the priciest time to visit (be sure to book accommodations well in advance). Summer Best time for beach daysĪdmittedly, there’s no relief from the mid-Atlantic’s humid summers in New Jersey - especially in July and August - when it can be scorchingly unbearable to step outside at times. Whether it’s the burgeoning cultural playground of Jersey City, the casino mainstay of Atlantic City, the Asian food hub of Fort Lee or the charming small town (complete with a red mill) of Clinton, any time of year is worth a visit to New Jersey. While those highlights showcase its persona, underneath it all, New Jersey’s urban areas are ready and waiting to entertain visitors any time of the year. You’ll find New Jersey is a tried-and-true four-season destination with 130 miles of immaculate sand on the Jersey Shore in the humid summers, a gasp-worthy palette of autumnal colors in the refreshingly brisk fall, a festive holiday season (complete with spritely decorated Victorian homes in Cape May) to warm the spirits during the winter chill and delightfully lush blooms bursting with cheer in the temperate spring. There are lots of areas to take pictures and create memories that will last a lifetime.True to its moniker, the Garden State transforms its personality with the changing seasons. Note: Trails are all compacted gravel so wheelchairs and/or strollers with all-terrain wheels should be able to navigate the paths.


The displays and exhibits are illuminating, immersive, awesome, and some are interactive so that you can walk through them or play on them. You will be able to go around at your own pace. It will take about an hour to see everything. Most of the trail is on gentle, rolling terrain with a few minor elevation changes. The roughly one-mile trail winds through 14 acres of beautiful, enchanted hardwood forest. There will be some of the favorites from past years, but most will be completely new displays and exhibits that have never been seen before. We will have some very unique surprises for all who come.

Last year’s event received rave reviews and extremely high ratings (over 4.9 out of 5.0) by those who visited. We are so excited to present Winter Wonders 2022! This is a World Class Light Show that will rival any Light Show in New England!
