A True NJ Gem - Barnegat Lighthouse and Park

Like how the Statue of Liberty is instantly considered an iconic landmark for not just New York City but the country, Barnegat Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in the country is also another natural iconic landmark for New Jersey. To find the lighthouse, bring the New Jersey charter bus, shuttle bus, coach charter, minibus, schoolbus or party bus to Broadway and The Bay on Long Beach Island. The lighthouse is located in New Jersey’s longest offshore island. You can get to the island by car or charter bus depite it being approximately four miles out at sea. This should an interesting and educational tour for foreign visitors, really, because there is a very informative guide located at the lighthouse’s center which is open all the time.

Don’t worry about finding a parking spot if you are driving yourself to this amazing New Jersey landmark because there is plenty of free parking near the attraction. It is very convenient to just park and walk over to the lighthouse’s guest center. At the tourist center, learn about the lighthouse’s deep history and roots while also taking in the fact that there is a huge state park right next to it, the environment surrounding the lighthouse and also the wildlife preservation efforts made by the government.

Have a look around the park and you will realize just how popular the lighthouse is with not just tourists and visitors from out of town but birds. Birds of all kinds tend to love the lighthouse too. Have a stroll around the park during winter and if you are lucky, you will catch sight of a Harbor Seal. We love the jetty so much that we spent much of our time (after visiting the lighthouse) loitering around the jetty that juts out into the sea. Standing on the jetty with our friends, we simply took the time to take awesome pictures together while enjoying what nature had to offer.

Suffice to say, for sixty years, darkness loomed over Barnegat Lighthouse in which time, it served more as a museum and tourist attraction than a lighthouse. But it was in 2009 that the main function of the lighthouse came back....which is to serve as a lighthouse. Since then, it is a beacon for ships which lights shines out to more than twenty miles offshore.

If you are up to it, pay a small fee to climb to the top of the lighthouse for a breathtaking scenery. There is a story to every place and it is from the top of the lighthouse that all that you have learned about Jersey Shore seems to gel together so naturally.

Morris Museum

If you are visiting Morristown soon and are wondering what to do there with your family, you can always charter a New Jersey bus and have the bus driver send you and your family to the Morris Museum at 6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown and spend a day touring the museum. At Morris Museum, they have many different kinds of exhibits, some which are permanent ones while some are for a certain period of time only. Hence, even if you visit this museum this time with your family, the next time you go again in a New Jersey charter bus, chances are that you will see some “new” exhibits at the museum that you probably didn’t get to see this round.

For kids, the Morris Museum is surely a favorite place to visit during holidays because they offer many hands on and interactive displays and exhibits for the children. Being able to touch, feel and “play” with the exhibits in the museum is definitely a big hit with kids because kids just love to play and it is always a great way for them to learn too, as they play and discover the many wonderful things in the museum. We would not be too wrong if we say that the Morris Museum provides the family a place to play and learn together. There is just so much to see and so much to do in here. Model trains, historical mansion, costume exhibition, a Guinness collection of Automata (which is a collection of automatic devices and objects that make music – something like a giant music box) – these are just some of the things you can expect to see when you arrive at the Morris Museum in the New Jersey bus. In some parts of the museum, they also have exhibits on taxidermied animals, fossils, geology and the gift shop is also a great place for you to stop by to buy some souvenirs home.

They are, however, closed on Mondays, and the major holidays. Otherwise, they are open from Tuesdays right through till Sundays, from 11am to 5pm (Tuesday to Saturday) and from 12 noon to 5pm on Sunday. Also, on the second and third Thursday of every month, the admission is “Pay as You Wish” from 5pm to 8pm. You can always take advantage of the “Pay as You Wish” offer by the museum and plan your trip to the Morris Museum in the New Jersey rented bus on the second or third Thursday of the month.
