Known as the Garden State, New Jersey got its name for its fertile farmlands and lush natural beauty. Some of those historic farms, such as Howell Living History Farm and Historic Cold Spring Village, are active even today and are considered cultural attractions. Another historical attraction is Battleship New Jersey in Camden. It is the original USS New Jersey (BB-62) that has been converted into a museum ship. If modern attractions are more your thing, iPlay America in Freehold is New Jersey’s largest indoor amusement park. Regardless of what you have planned for your vacation, you can add extra fun to it by booking a farm stay. So go meet and make friends with the farm animals at the top ranches to stay in New Jersey, USA.
