There’s more to New Jersey than the glittering lights of Atlantic City, Princeton’s venerable Ivy League campus, and 130 miles of powdery beaches. This smallish state is big on personality, packed with possibility, and it’ll wow your group every chance it gets across more than 1,034 attractions, over 418 cultural experiences, and upwards of 463 historical landmarks. Today, the New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism is taking you on a tour of what’s new in Jersey!

Introduce your group to the awe-inspiring cultural wonder that now graces 185 acres in Central Jersey. BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham is the largest Hindu house of worship in the country. Its intricate architecture, lush landscapes, and unmatched serenity provide for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The ever-popular American Dream in Rutherford got even dreamier in 2024 with new entertainment offerings. Bring your tour to the New Jersey Hall of Fame and get to know the Garden State’s luminaries. Or pop into a spot that holds a monopoly on the fun: The Gameroom Powered by Hasbro.

The Garden State’s fresh culinary scene has also been flavored by exciting new entries, including Lita, a Portuguese eatery named one of the “Best New Restaurants in America” by Esquire, and Pinstripes, an all-in-one dining, bocce court, and bowling alley venue.
