Where to go South Jersey Trips and Tours
Even the most experienced traveler can use a little help now and then to get the most from their visit. Especially when there are as many things to do and see as there are in South Jersey.
Here are a few tours to get you started:
SIGNATURE ITINERARY
Fish & Ship at the Camden Waterfront - At over 45,000 tons, 887 feet long & 11 stories high, the Battleship New Jersey- our nation's largest & most decorated battleship- is a living museum of American history, bravery & ingenuity. While on tour, explore the legendary 16" gun turrets, weapons systems, berthing areas, Navigation Bridge, galley, brig and so much more of this legendary ship. Then, have lunch at Victor's Pub while looking over the spectacular Philadelphia skyline. Enjoy a wide menu, ranging from hamburgers to amazing chocolate cake, children's menu, great weekday lunch specials and a fantastic bar. Dive over to Adventure Aquarium & enter the world of sharks within the 550,000 gallon Shark Realm & now including a virtual shark cage & Shark Tunnel.
The Camden Waterfront is a scenic place to stroll along the Delaware River and bring your camera; the views of Philadelphia, the Ben Franklin Bridge, the Battleship New Jersey & more are not to be missed.
