You'll find a general store, carpentry and pattern making shop, a blacksmith shop, bakery, boarding houses, a blast furnace, a church....and more. Inside these buildings are a volunteer staff demonstrating the skills of the trades. What made my experience amazing is the ability to converse with the staff, dressed in appropriate time period clothes, as they explained the historic craft demonstrations and history of the village. The village is non-profit and is able to stay opened by donations and volunteers. Other various events such as weddings and fairs help keep the village opened. My visit was during the 4th Annual BBQ and Brew. On site we're numerous food truck serving up BBQ. For those who aren't into BBQ, there were food trucks serving up sweet treats and sausage & peppers. Alcoholic beverages (beer) were behind a gated area where everyone is carded before admittence. Once inside, tickets at $6 a piece are purchased for redemtion of a drink of whatever you want. In addition to the BBQ and Brews, various vendors were on site selling their unique crafts and a live band was providing the tunes. It was a fun time experiencing and learning about the village. The BBQ and brews were an extra bonus. A big shout out to Yelp CM Katarina for the Yelp give away.

The Lakehurst Historical Society is operated out at an old converted church built by Irish Railroad workers. It's considered the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Ocean County where the stations of the cross are still present. My partner and I got a chance to meet several staff. One of them was Bill Schmidt who conducted the talk about the Hindenburg air ship disaster and was excellent. He gave us the detailed account about the airship, its crew and passengers. A one-way ticket from Frankfurt, Germany to Lakehurst, NJ back in 1936 took 2 1/2 days at the cost $400. This would be a great start for those history buffs especially on the air ships.

It's a unique space, great for getting out of the summer sun (or winter wind), but it can also be a bit disorienting as the sound bounces all over the place and many of the shops have different hours. Still, it's a unique building, great for browsing, shopping for knick-knacks, or a decent meal. It's not my go-to area for shopping or food, but if you're by the beach, it's not bad at all!

I heard racetrack and thought to myself oh gosh is this going to be boring? All we do is watch cars go around and around in circles for hours...? I was wrong, yes we did see cars go around in circles, but the atmosphere was fun and not to mention its BYOB! Tickets were $16.00/adults, a little less for 60+ and children. My husband and I did not eat, but everyone else did. They were raving about the fried oreos. We were really fortunate to come on the night they had the demolition derby. I had never seen one live, it was pretty exciting. Just wish the ring was a little bigger for the cars. The commentators were entertaining as well.

While the Speedway is dated, it is still a…read moregreat experience given that there are not many speedways left in the area and especially no other experiences like this. While it is like driving an oversized Go-Cart, there are no speed governor's and you are in control. These TQ Midget Cars can go up to 120 mph. However, for us average drivers, you can get up to speeds of 60-70 mph. You get 5 laps around the 1/3 mile track, with laps averaging 15-30 seconds. For $30 more, you can get 5 more laps. The whole experience lasts 1-2 hours from check in to completion. They provide you with Cotton Socks, a Fire Resistant suit and shoes and Helmet. All you need is your License and CASH if you plan on purchasing a Photo, GoPro video, or additional laps. Otherwise, leave everything else in the car because there are no lock boxes available. No experience is needed. They give you a personal presentation about driving the vehicle and then bring you to the vehicle to learn everything you need to know about it. After this, you are ready to go! Everyone goes separately, however, you will follow an experienced driver in a "pace" car, but this will not limit the experience. Without a Groupon, I do not know if I would pay full price to do this experience. They do offer a Two for One special as well for $220 that includes 10 laps instead of 5, so that may be worth it. It is also worth noting that they only run this Experience during the summer time at 9am and 1030am.

The old one was on Rt 9, I was told, and moved in its present location 25 yrs ago. This is the 49th anniversary and the event I attended is the festival celebrating this. There is seating for about 150-175 people, a snack stand and a gift shop. Normally it's $5 to gain entrance. Today it was $10, (anniversary show) Most shows start around noon and end 5:30. There is a lot of memorabilia on the two walls. Volunteers are always welcome. Free parking. It's nice to preserve the traditions of the people in this area called the Pineys.( Pinelands) in Southern Ocean County.

I really enjoy my time with them and I know others would, too!

I had such a horrible experience here…read more Oddly enough I was an audience member, so you'd think I'd have a good time. Oddly enough I was one of only maybe 5 or 6 people in the theater, and a paying spectator, so you'd think I'd be valued on some level. Oddly enough, I was all dolled up, in a cute skirt, cute hair, faux fur coat, so you'd think someone would at least take my show of respect as a signal I should be treated with the slightest kindness. Oddly enough, I clapped, I smiled, I heckled no one, Heck I even tried to participate when the MC lady tried to get "the crowd" hyped up. So you'd think someone would have thought, "geez, she paid, she's a kind spectator, she got all dressed up like it is the 1950s and I was having a night at the theater. You may think that, but you'd be wrong. During the audience participation, I said something that was, granted, kind of dumb. But it wasn't even funny dumb. It was more like, "did you hear the question, lady?" Truth be told, I did but I guess I was absent minded and gave a dumb answer. Truthfully, it made no real difference that I made an airhead comment. I'm not even a comedian but I can think of a way to make a joke about my airhead comment -- without making me feel like a fool. But that's what the MC did, and later one of the performers referenced the airhead-y comment, effectively making me a human call-back joke. I felt mortified, even though there were only 5-6 spectators in the room. I love comedy. I follow comedians. I read about their lives. I read about comedic theory. I am fascinated to learn that Keenan Ivory Wayans says there's a "math of the joke." I am equally interested in learning more about how before she was in Friends, Lisa Kudrow studied sit-com, like it was a full time job. My point is that, while I am not a performer, I do know a little about comedy. The one thing I know for sure is that in Improv, the overriding philosophy is "yes, and..." That means that, when someone says something, the improv artist must never negate anything someone else says. Instead the second actor adds to what the first person said. Knowing that "yes and" is central to Improv, I am disappointed that at this particular improv performance, both the MC (instructor) and performer literally mocked me, negating everything that I brought to their stage: a paid ticket, a good attitude, respectful attire and a willingness to participate. What I received in return was the overriding internal feeling that "I must never return here again."
