Little Red School House Museum

Museum

Lyndhurst

Housed in what is considered Bergen County's first public school building — established in 1804 — this one-room schoolhouse museum is a charming and educational stop for families. Children can experience what learning looked like two centuries ago, including period desks, slates, and teaching materials. A wonderful hands-on history experience.

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament

Entertainment

Lyndhurst

An epic two-hour feast and jousting tournament set in an 11th-century castle. Knights on horseback compete in sword fights, jousting, and falconry while you feast with your hands. A memorable experience for kids and adults alike.

Richard W. DeKorte Park (Meadowlands)

Nature

Lyndhurst

Once slated for a landfill, now an extraordinary 3.5-mile trail system through the Meadowlands — one of the best birding spots in the Northeast. The Marsh Discovery Trail boardwalk, butterfly garden, and bird blinds put you right in the heart of the wetlands. Free nature walks led by Bergen County Audubon are held regularly.
