The Works Museum

At The Works, children get to build, create and invent! They can experience history, art, glass, the planetarium, science, and so much more. The interactive museum provides family-fun and not to mention, plenty of giggles! Children are encouraged to become and create whatever they can imagine. The inspirational team will be there to assist every step of the way! For children 6 and under, they can climb aboard an airplane, engage in hands-on science labs and explore the Tyke Lab.

Brick Alley Donut Co.

Because kids can never get enough sugar! Treat them (and yourself!) to some of Newark’s best donuts before they start their day by exploring. These warm, delicious donuts are made your way to go crazy! They have everything from blackberry drizzle, maple icing, shredded coconut toppings, to rainbow sprinkles.

World’s Largest Basket

This certainly isn’t a day trip but definitely worth seeing. Your kids will love seeing this 7-story building shaped like a basket that just so happens to be the world’s largest. Dave Longaberger, founder of the Longaberger Basket Company, dreamed up the idea of running his basket business from the world’s largest replica of one. How cool is that?
