The American Dream Mall has been open for a couple years now and is quite the experience. Having an amusement and water park as well as a full ski slope- there is more to do here than just shop. The mall has a full blown food court along with many resturants to dine at if you are staying in the area prior to the wedding. They also have mini golf, escape rooms and many more activities to do for all ages.

If you are coming from out of the area and are looking for dinner and a show ( but don't want to go into the city) there is Medieval Times. Get transported back to the past where knights, dragons and dungeons existed in the normal. This venue has dinner, drinks and a tournament featuring knights jousting and fighting. Have fun and joust responsibly.

Looking to try some local brewed beer? Look no further than Ghost Hawk Brewing located in Clifton, NJ. Having a wide selection of a constantly changing new beers and an open taproom they are always open to having new people come in and share a drink.

Beer not your style? Good for you! Located immediately next door (same parking lot) is the Silk City Distillery. Having their own brand of bourbon, whisky, rum, vodka and gin they have a wide array of cocktails available to try at their taproom. Bring your own food and grab a table and enjoy their fine beverages.

Are you a fan of art? Come to Newark to check out their museum of art with changing exhibits and the Dreyfuss Planetarium located inside. Come learn about not only art but outer space!

Do you think getting up close and personal with old space and flight gear is a flight of fancy? Well, here flight is everyones fancy. At the Aviation Hall of Fame and Museum you have multiple aircrafts from the past decades as well as space equipment to check out. With interactive exhibits, a model airplane collection, multiple historical aircrafts, and artifacts to look at the whole day will go by! Note: This place has a reservation system. I do not believe you can just go in and buy admission.
