1. 5.0 Circle Playhouse (4 reviews)
   - Excellent and intimate community theatre
   Spent 2-3 hours Theatre & Performances
   
   
   We went to see our first play ever last night at Circle Playhouse. Even though I've lived in the area for years, I had never been to this intimate and charming venue. Two or three rows of seats surround 3 sides of the stage which is slightly lower than the audience. The play we saw was a gripping, serious drama with challenging roles and staging called Eye of God. It was excellent! I couldn't believe the quality of the acting and clever staging. Because of those things, I was gripped right from the beginning through the whole play and forgot I was in a community theatre in central New Jersey and not some bigger, more famous venue. If you like theatre, I highly recommend a visit to Circle Playhouse. See more..
   
2. 5.0 Rutgers University Ecological Preserve (1 review)
   - Great place for family to hike
   Forests • Scenic Walking Areas
   The Preserve is a wonderful place to hike, bike and walk your dog. The trails are probably the best marked and maintained of any hiking location I've visited in NJ. The are some hills but none or so rugged that children won't enjoy them. See more..

   Located in Johnson Park in Piscataway, NJ, East Jersey Old Town Village is comprised of sixteen reconstructed and replica 18th and 19th century structures. They represent architecture typical of farm and merchant communities once found in central New Jersey.

Explore the site and meet the historical interpreters that bring the Village to life through their historic trades and crafts.

4. 4.5 Shi Stadium (3 reviews)
   - Written by a Penn State fan
   Spent More than 3 hours Sports Complexes
   
   
   As the title states I was here for Penn State and was impressed. The concourses were a little narrow but easy to navigate. I had little trouble finding my seat. Despite being bleacher seating it was comfortable and each fan had a decent amount of space. Be ready for fireworks, cannons, and train horns. My only complaint is there were only two employees scanning tickets at the one gate. One more thing if you choose to park at Jersey Mike's Arena be ready to take a shuttle which will take another hour each way. See more..
   
5. 4.0 Johnson Park (88 reviews)
   - Park was great but the fox needs to get better treated
   Spent 2-3 hours Parks
   
   
   It was very nice, not very crowded except around the zoo. It was well maintained. The only thing that kept the visit from being excellent was the zoo, in particular the fox enclosure. While some exhibits were empty of the animal, the fox one was troubling since the fox kept pacing back and forth. It was distressing to see. The poor animal needs to get more enrichment!
