Garden State Discovery Museum

Children careen through the Garden State Discovery Museum, climbing up rock walls, cavorting with wildlife, and imagining themselves as vets, doctors, and news anchors in hands-on exhibits. Red-eared turtles lounge in the wildlife area, inviting kids to gaze upon their slimy shells, and science displays teach guests about gravity, lava, and light. For a memorable birthday party or celebration, kids can romp through the Flyers mini rink and Silver Diner with up to 100 friends and unlimited imaginary friends during a two-hour, after-hours museum rental. Two staff members assist in chaperoning the event as partygoers ogle all exhibits, gab in three private rooms, and perform one-man Hamlet renditions in the Discovery Theater.
