Hudson County - Jersey City - Liberty Science Center Fall Fest

Open September 22 to December 22, 2019

Fall Fest

Fall Fest, North Jersey’s ultimate autumn adventure, debuts at Liberty Science Center on Sept. 28!
Everything you love about autumn – the mazes, the pumpkins, the apple cider – is here in Jersey City! Tired of regular old corn mazes? See if you can find your way out of our outdoor Spider Maze, a 4,000-sq-ft webby labyrinth that’s unlike any maze you’ve explored before! The 8-foot-tall haystack is the perfect climbing challenge for your big kids, while the hay maze is a blast for the little kids in your group. Everyone will enjoy meeting some furry friends at our weekend petting zoo!
Next, head inside to our indoor pumpkin patch, where you’ll get to choose and paint your own pumpkin (available on weekends for a $2 donation). The pumpkin experiments continue from there...use an endoscope to explore the slimy insides, and then see one smash open using liquid nitrogen!
And of course, it wouldn’t be an autumn day trip without some apple picking! But our version of apple picking is a little more extreme. On weekends, use a giant slingshot to knock apples out of a tree 50 feet away!
Be sure to check out our Instagrammable photo ops, and enjoy seasonal treats, like apple cider and pumpkin spice. You’ll also want to experience LSC’s two newest exhibitions: Dinosaur Train: The Traveling Exhibit (open Sept. 21) and Angry Birds Universe: The Art & Science Behind a Global Phenomenon (open Oct. 5)!
(Plus: The fun continues on Oct. 19 when Fall Fest gets “spookified” with new Halloween adventures, all the way through the end of October! Stay tuned for more details on our Fall Fright Fest.)
Don’t miss out on the perfect family fall day trip! Click here to get tickets now.

Mercer County - Lawrence Twp - “Rediscovering the New York University Papyrus Collection: Recent Preservation and Digitization Efforts”

Image
Thursday, February 27 – Mercer County              Princeton Preservation Group to Meet on February 27 about Papyrus     Ask anyone on the street in Princeton what the Princeton Preservation Group is and you are likely to get a raised eyebrow and a guess that they are people who want to preserve the town.  Actually, the Princeton Preservation Group (PPG) has been meeting several times per year since 1983 to hear lectures on a wide range of topics relating to the preservation of cultural artifacts, including books, manuscripts, artwork, furniture, photographs, tombstones, Lucy the Elephant, quilts, costumes, videotapes, and buildings, just to name a few.       The “Princeton” in PPG’s name derives from its founder, the late Susan Swartzburg, Preservation Librarian at Alexander Library at Rutgers. Swartzburg, a Princeton resident, taught a class in the Rutgers graduate librar...

Somerset County - Kingston - A visit with an 18th-Century Surgeon-Dentist

Image
Sunday, June 9 – Somerset County Save the Date for a visit with an  18th-Century Surgeon-Dentist      Let us be clear: George Washington did not have wooden teeth. However, he did have dental problems through most of his adult life, as did many 18th-century folk of both high and low social class. There were no regular visits to dentists, with tooth brushing and flossing in between at that time.  There weren't even dentists as we know them today. Dentistry was only just evolving as a separate profession through the eighteenth century. Barber-surgeons or surgeon-dentists provided many more services than our modern dentists. Toothbrushes were somewhat new, but rare for most people to use or even own. Germs were an unknown entity.      On Sunday, June 9 at Rockingham, Marjory Wienkop will be in residence in the Dutch barn with a display of colonial-era surgeon-dentist instruments, related objects and much information on the real story of who took...
