Gorgeous place for an event. For a wedding, it can all happen here. From the ceremony to the…read morereception, it seems to be the perfect small place to make it all happen that doesn't seem small. The food and drink for the cocktail hour to the main dinner all worked well. For the wedding I attended, they had different stations in the downstairs area that represented different experiences in the couple's lives together. For instance, one station you were on the boardwalk with burgers and dogs, and at another one you were in Germany or Italy. I think the one thing I do not understand is parking. Getting there early I had zero problems, but the lot seems very small for an event place.

I attended a wedding at Rock Island Lake Club. What do I enjoy most at a wedding? You guessed it,…read morethe reception. The reception was a hit with me. It was highlighted by an open bar that ran from 7pm to 1am and featured 24 draft beers, premium liquors (Gray Goose and Maker's Mark as examples), wines and cordials. The food was excellent as well. They had various stations setup featuring such items as Cuban sliders, Italian & Mediterranean dishes, seafood with clams & oysters, cheese bar and a charcuterie boat. Waiters walked around throughout the cocktail hour offering various hors d'oeuvres.I found most of the alcoholic offerings paired well with all the cuisines offered. As for the main course, There were 4 choices and I selected the braised lamb shank. The waiter told me it was her favorite. It was delicious. You might ask me why the 4 STARS and not 5. One reason is the loud music. The DJ turned up the volume to the point of having to shout at people when conversing. I enjoy conversation and it was not really possible. Low ceilings mad it a lot worse. I went out to the balcony which overlooked a beautiful lake and colorfully lit fountain just to get away from the noise. Additionally, I do not like valet parking and prefer to drive my truck. You can select parking your own vehicle. Long tables make it hard to talk to everyone at the table and finally, they have a series of garage doors that enclose the reception area in case of rain. REALLY! Oh, yeah! The wedding vows were nice too.

Oak Ridge, NJ - calling all influencers! This place is hugely Instagrammable and super enchanting!…read moreLol. Mariah Carey even shot her Christmas music video here. But you don't have to care about snapping cute pics to appreciate that Fairy Tale Forest is an absolute wholesome delight for children and for adults to live their childhood nostalgia. There is a real magical forest feel as you wander through the park, which isn't large, but the life-size storybook cottages and fairy tale sets are beautifully detailed and lovingly restored. The grounds are clean and well-manicured (a sign says the gardens are curated by Raine Garden Designs). A list of daily events & activities are posted such as magic shows, live music, and character meet & greets. The staff and actors are all warm and friendly. My child loved running around and exploring, participating in the activities, but I enjoyed it just as much if not more. There are shaded picnic tables under umbrellas (next to the Bluebird Stage so you can catch a show while you eat). The food is from the on-site restaurant Fables, and is quite good, certainly better than your average amusement park fare (I was really happy to get a proper salad!). The restaurant is only open for private parties/events/rentals at the moment, but I'm told they hope to have it up and running at some point. The interior is also themed. There is a reasonably priced gift shop with a nice selection of toys, souvenirs, costumes, and gifts. I would say this park is suitable for younger kids, maybe up to 8 or even an unjaded 10yo (have your kids dress up as knights, wizards, princesses, and fairy tale characters!). It's also kind of a cool spot for a date. This is an "analog" park with some animatronics, and you shouldn't expect any dazzling razzmatazz or high-octane thrills. Six Flags it ain't. But come with the right mindset for the unique experience this is and you won't be disappointed. It's good ol' fashioned throwback family fun and brings back an era that doesn't exist anymore. Indeed, many NJ locals have fond memories of this park from when they were young. It was built in the 1950s by an industrious German dude and features scenes from Grimm's Fairytales that his mother used to read to the family, and was expanded with more set pieces over the next couple of decades. Unfortunately it closed down in 2003 and FINALLY reopened last year, after efforts were stalled during the pandemic. All I can say is goooo and visit this charming, singular, and uncorporatized attraction, and support a still founding family-owned local business. It's a complete joy!

I could maybe see older kids not enjoying it but my 4 year old and 2 year old refused to leave. (I would say maybe the age I would reconsider it is 8 or 9. I'm not sure.)

I believe they added a bunch more activities like the scavenger hunt, story time, and the rainbow baton scarves so the previous reviews are from their opening year. Prices were very reasonable. We definitely make this an annual activity

Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad. The have a nice sized coffee bar, decorated beautifully with some pretty delicious looking pastries. I'm on an anti-sweet phase so I'm basing my opinion on only on appearance. Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

I ordered the following: Matcha White Hot Chocolate (a traditional matcha latte blended with white chocolate sauce), Snickerdoodle Latte (A traditional latte, blended with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla syrup). Both of these were served at the perfect temperature, were richly creamy, and served in large mugs. I also ordered a Carrot Cake Muffin and it was very good. It was moist, each forkful had a decent amount of walnuts, and the frosting was exquisite. Once you're finished with your food, don't forget to stroll through the entire cafe. You'll probably find something that will pique your interest. Either way, try to make time to enjoy it all.

Having the Sunshine Village team be able to set up the tablecloths and goodie bags, along with playing any requested music was a big help. 10/10 we will be back again!

This is now Marcade's only location after the closing of the Dover location in June 2025. They offer various pricing options including an all-day pass. In the center are most of the arcade cabinets, with many being from the 1980's-2000's. The pinball selection are mostly older machines from the 1980's-1990's. Modern options include recent gaming consoles attached to big screen TV's that line the side of the arcade. Air hockey is located in the back and they even have a few Skee-Ball machines. Most of the arcade machines were in good working order, and I enjoyed both Rampage World Tour and Spy Hunter. Party space is also available. Overall, Marcade is worth a stop and is a solid retro arcade.
