    Have visited twice - nice collection of aircraft all under one roof & not overwhelming. Staff…read moreon-site were very friendly and helpful. Also nice is the fact that you can get close (sometimes even inside) to the displays, as compared to some of the larger museums. A lot of local history and the NAS's contribution during WWII. There is also a cool little gift shop at the end (isn't there always) where you can pick up memorabilia. I would plan on spending an hour or so minimum - more if your really want to dig in to the displays & videos available. Great for the family & history/aviation buffs. PS - if you're there earlier in the day - check out the Flight Deck Diner for some good comfort food and displays of patches/aircraft models..

    CAPE MAY: The non-profit Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum is an awesome experience and…read moreone of the most unique attractions we have ever experienced with Brie! Set in a World War II era hangar, the museum has over 25 historic plans, jets, helicopters, exhibits, artifacts, and more! It also memorializes the 42 naval aviators who died while training at this facility. The museum is pet friendly and dogs must be on a leash. A really cool thing to do is to go inside some of the planes and sit in the cockpit! We met a staff member, Bethany, who was fun to talk to about the museum and its features. This is a great spot to visit any day, and especially when the weather is not cooperating, since it is all indoors. Parking is free and be sure to get a puppy potty break in before entering the museum. Thank you to all Veterans! Typically, their hours are: In Season: March 5 through November 30, 10AM-4PM Daily Off Season: December 1 through March 4 10AM-4PM Mon-Friday (Closed Saturday & Sunday) NOTE: NAS WILDWOOD AVIATION MUSEUM WILL BE UNDERGOING REPAIRS AND WILL BE CLOSED TEMPORARILY FROM 10/9/23 THROUGH 1/1/24

    Our family has been visiting Wheaton Arts for many years! It's our favorite go to place in the…read moreFall! We have many glass pumpkins made there. Anytime we have out of town relatives visit, we take them there. It's so peaceful and also educational. Winter of 2026 was very bad this year and we noticed it has also taken a toll on their landscaping. With time, I'm sure it will be repaired. This place is worth an afternoon visit! Be sure to check their calendar for special events.

    Glass, yo, it's from Joy-zee!…read more This is a weird but cool arts campus in Millville, mainly about glass, but also housing a decent-size pottery guild, and a small building of textile/tribal arts. In addition to live glass blowing demonstrations, and special classes or make-and-take events for glass/pottery pieces, they have a glass museum with tons of history on glass in the USA. NJ had all the right conditions and materials (wood, sand, soda ash, and silica) for glass so it was the nation's main source of glass for a long period in US history. They make pottery and glass items on site that are sold in the store, and visitors can observe all of this being made. There is a long nature trail, a lake, historic schoolhouse, and various other interesting buildings on the campus. There are at least two stores, both with tons of glass and pottery/ceramic gift options, among other artistic mediums. There is finer art glass sculpture available too, in the gallery store. Wheaton offers a handful of free admission days every year (mostly in summer), including the Fire Muster, with a bunch of fire engines and firemen! They also host craft shows, holiday themed weekends, and other festival events. Live music and food trucks are normally part of any event day. It's a very fun place, and easily can take 2 hours to explore everything. My last visit I was there 3 hours and still didn't get to the nature trail. Nearby Vineland has many great food options, especially Puerto Rican.
