New Jersey is packed to the brim with day trip ideas. That’s both a blessing and a curse: Sure, there are so many amazing options, but also, how do you pick?
Well, one particular option we love is a day trip to one of the most unique towns in New Jersey. This charming small town not only boasts incredible shops, it’s also rich in history and features a dinosaur discovery.
Haddonfield, New Jersey is such a delightful, charming town in the state and makes for a great day trip.
