6 Kid-Friendly Activities to try out this fall in South Jersey

Put the TikTok away (we know it’s hard), it’s time to get some fresh air and have a lot of fun with the kids with these kid-friendly activities. 

An indoor splash 

Camden

We’re keeping the summer fun going with Camden Kroc’s Community Center indoor water park. Stop by to slip down the twisting slide, get soaked under the massive bucket and relax in the lazy river. The water park is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 4:30 to 7:30 pm, Saturday from 3 to 7:30 pm and Sunday from 3 to 5:30 pm (extended weekend hours for members).

Nature for tots

Clayton

Introduce your little ones to nature with this Gloucester County educational program at Scotland Run Park. Toddlers will learn about owls, eagles and other creatures crawling around in our backyards and get to do a nature craft to take home as well. The free program is hosted on Oct. 15, Oct. 29 and Nov. 12 and registration is required. For more information, visit the website

Little artists

Hamilton

Grounds For Sculpture is the perfect spot for letting your children immerse themselves in art – literally. Explore the sculpture park to get out some of that energy while seeing larger-than-life creations and some classics that have stepped off the canvas. Plus, the museum hosts an interactive art class for kids age 3 to 5 each month. For more information, visit the website

Kid’s mini theater

Deptford

Did you know there’s a small theater in the Deptford Mall? And it’s for kids! The Kid’s Mini Theater hosts performances on the 4th Thursday of each month featuring music, dancing and storytelling. There are also giveaways and snacks available. Showtimes are 10 am, 11 am and noon. Registration is required. For more information, visit the website

Search for animals 

Camden 

There’s so much fun to be had at Adventure Aquarium – like a scavenger hunt for your little ones, worksheets for them to complete before or after their visit, a multi-sensory experience that mimics the Amazon Rainforest, touch tanks, a KidZone and more. Plus, until Oct. 27, your toddler can visit the aquarium for free when you register for a Pre-K Pass. For a full schedule and more information, visit the website

Flying on the ground

Wildwood

Let your little ones explore the inside of medevac helicopters, vintage fighter jets and more at the NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum. Get a birds eye view of the museum’s collection from inside the control tower, and get up-close to plenty of 1940s memorabilia. The museum is open from 10 am to 4 pm every day from March through December (limited hours in January and February). Admission is $16 for adults and $12 for children 3 to 12.
