Covering approximately 24 acres of land, this park is sure to leave guests of all ages in awe.

Photography is must as words cannot begin to describe the larger than life sculptures encompassing the grounds. Be sure to stop and see the wildlife, as many peacocks call the park their home.

2. Philadelphia's Magic Gardens

This unique museum showcases some of the most astonishing folk and mosaic art that fans will ever set their eyes on! The artwork spans over a half a block, allowing guests to navigate their way up, down, and under the mosaic covered walls. The site opened in 2008 after years and years of work by artist, Isaiah Zagar. Philadelphia's Magic Gardens tell the story of his life and family, the community, and the world. If the name didn't give it away, the address will. The museum is located at 1020 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147. Yes, for us NJ natives, this may seem far, but it is worth the travels! Admission is very affordable at only $10 for an adult ticket. Don't forget to take the very popular "steps picture" for your social media post!

3. Paulinskill Viaduct

Art created by our inner artist is sometimes the most beautiful. Paulinskill Viaduct is featured in the Weird NJ books as it is an abandon railroad bridge. The art is located under the top level where trains once ran, and within the archways pictured below. The Paulinskill Viaduct is located in Knowlton, New Jersey.

Outside the structure

"The climb up isn't long, just very steep. Once you get to the top, the view is so worth it! You can see the mountains that overlook the Delaware Water Gap. Climbing down the man hole is fun, scary if it is your first time but nonetheless once you make it down, it's like a whole different world filled with art and expression. It's a nice place to just relax in and be surrounded by colors. It immediately boosts your mood!" says Jersey resident, Cori Mastropolo

Inside the "tunnels"

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
