I like to visit Skylands and tour the Jersey shore. In general, I love the sunshine and the warmer weather and the signs of new life such as green grass and flowers.
i like to visit Sea Isle City New Jersey in the spring. Still a little slow but the beach is so pretty!

I like to visit family in New Jersey in the spring time, when the weather is nice and even taking my kids to the parks there.
My boyfriend and I like to go hiking at the Delaware Water Gap. It’s gorgeous there when things start to bloom.
Visit family is my favorite thing to do!
I love how the days get longer as the sun is out later and later!
I meant to leave my e-mail address above. 🙂

I would love to visit Paterson’s Great Falls.

spend the day at the shore
My fave thing about New Jersey is how many fun things you can find around in all the small towns!
Not from Jersey but read some wonderful comments and sounds like a fun place to visit
We like to visit New York Aquarium.
I have never been to New Jersey but if I did, I would love to bring my kids to storybook land. My dad lives in Maryland, so maybe next time we visit him, we’ll go. that would be so fun!
I like visiting Wildwood. Stores and restaurants start to open and the boardwalk gets in gear…it’s quiet but not a ghost town. We love it!
I love walking along the beach once it’s not too cold outside!
Wearing flip flops on the beach for the first time each year!
I love to go to Sea Isle City and just walk the beach, especially before labor day when it gets too crowded
Cape May!
Visiting the Jersey Shore and Cape May, both great places to explore!
allaire state park!! – it has a mini old-fashioned village plus nature preserves and wildlife, playgrounds for the children… and sometimes the train is open too – best part: everythings free besides the train which is very cheap!
I am relieved to be rid of my winter coat! Winter clothes are always so bulky.
Seeing all the kids become more active and leave their screens behind for outdoor activities (bike rides, and trips to the beach!).
my dad lives in new jersey and my favorite thing has always been to visit the parks near his house in the springtime. he has two within walking distance of his house that i went to when i was a kid and now when i go to visit i take my kids there!
Never been been there, But here in Arkansas we love to go in the woods on a spring hike, right when all the Redbuds and beautiful trees are blooming, and the Ozark mountains in the background makes for a spectacular view!
My favorite thing is the cherry blossoms in my parents yard and picking the cherries later or watching the kiddos do it.

My favorite thing about New Jersey in the Spring time is getting outside and enjoying the beauty of nature. NJ blossoms with beauty after long winters and there are so many amazing parks and gardens to walk and visit in the spring. My kids especially love being outside!
I like the weather
Seeing the beautiful scenery!
My favorite thing about Jersey is the Turtle Back Zoo.
My favorite thing to do in NJ is take my kids to the boardwalk and beach in the summer.
I would like to go to Atlantic City in the Spring. I have never been….
Hard to say as I have never been to new jersey but I would guess going to seaside
Going to Seaside Heights boardwalk
My favorite thing to do is walk on the jersey shore and and watch the ocean at night
I’ve always loved the Jersey Shore!
My favorite thing to do in the spring is going to Cape May.
I adore the weather! skevens7@gmail.com
I’ve never been to Jersey, but I imagine the smell of fresh, new growing grass is the same there as it is anywhere! I love just getting out and taking in some sun and fresh air!

I like to go to the beach.
Atlantic city
My grandparents used to take me to Point Pleasant when I was a kid, but honestly, they never allowed me to wander more than 20 feet from them at any given time so I’m not sure that I enjoyed myself as much as I could have.
Trying all the different foods.
My favorite thing about Spring in NJ is the change in the weather from cold to beautiful. I love to watch the flowers begin to bloom, and hear the birds become more and active as the Spring days go on…
I love visiting my Aunt and Uncle in the spring. Such pretty warm weather to take walks around the nearby lake and to fish
My favorite part of spring in New Jersey is hiking. One of the best kinds of hikes to take is one that allows you to stroll and enjoy the scenery – one where you can include your kids or grandkids on a family hiking trip. I like trails that overlap other trails, which feature bridges over streams – lively bubbling brooks that are fed by glistening tributaries. Because part of the Appalachian Trail runs through New Jersey, you can also acquaint yourself with this path as well.
Atlantic City
To see all the wonderful magnolia trees in bloom is my favorite thing
I love Sea Isle City in the spring.
The beach. There is just nothing like living 15 minutes from the beach and meeting family and friends there for a day in the sunshine and water and away from work and phones and housework and laundry. We will go every Saturday and Sunday if we can and even after work sometimes. We also like to hit the concerts on the beach at night at Sandy Hook. We will then head out to dinner along the shore for music and drinks and sunset. I love living in NJ!
six flags great adventure when it opens !!!
I love the coast and that it is close to NYC.
I love to go to Branch Brook Park to see the Cherry Blossom in Newark, New Jersey. It is simply beautiful to visit during the Spring.
Going hiking up at Ramapo!
Feeling the sun on my face, and spending time in the water.
