Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (with kids)
Activities: We went to the Trailside Nature and Science Center, which is a small natural history museum located on the Watchung Reservation. The entrance is free, and it is a great little indoor spot for learning about the local eco-system. We actually considered this as a stop on our way to Princeton
Highlights: We enjoyed learning about the local eco-system at the Trailside Nature and Science Center. The museum is small, but it is a great way to learn about the natural world ✨
