Things To Do
Explore the city that never sleeps!
From food, to theater, to open parks, and flashy billboards, NYC has it all! And walking accessible or within distance to public transportation. Ride the ferry to see one of America's icons- the Statue of Liberty. Or enjoy with a dinner and a play in Broadway. See the multitude of billboards that line up Times Square, and get up close to the clouds with a visit to the Edge at Hudson Yards. NYC has something to offer to everyone, whether it is exploring, shopping, or plain relaxation.
Let your view shimmer from the other side of the Hudson!
Enjoy panoramic views of the NYC skyline, Ellis Island, the State of Liberty all whilst having a picnic or visiting one of the many restaurants lining the waterfront from Liberty State Park to Weehawken.
Discover Rutgers University!
Take a tour around all of Rutger's campuses and see what they have to offer. Rutgers University is the eight-oldest college in the United State, dating all the way back to 1766 when it was first called "Queens College," a decade before the American Revolution.
Visit Rutgers Gardens!
Rutgers Gardens is a 180-acre botanic garden, consisting of designed gardens, farms, plant collections, natural habitats, and a farmers market. As part of Rutgers University, the Gardens provides experiential and service learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. It serves as a living laboratory for faculty and staff to better serve plant science research, landscape architecture, and the nursery and public horticulture industry.
Become part of art at Grounds For Sculptures!
Outdoors, nearly 300 contemporary sculptures are sited across 42 landscaped acres. Indoors, temporary exhibitions from established and emerging artists are featured in six galleries. Engaging and educational programs for all ages are offered year-round, and may include lectures from top minds, hands-on workshops, tours, concerts, and performances.
See where modern America was invented!
Home to Edison’s laboratory, the park houses the work and inventions of the great scientist. Divided into three unique categories, the historical artifacts, the archives, and natural history, you'll delight in the antiquity of Edison’s relics.
