A true guidebook that includes deft descriptions, admission prices, hours, and locations of a wide range of destinations. New write-ups for the 9th edition include the Hurricane Harbor waterpark (a new section of Six Flags/Great Adventure), the Crayola Factory in Easton, Pennsylvania and the Yogi Berra Museum in Montclair (hey, it ain't over, til it's over!). Also Mountain Creek, the new incarnation of the old Action Park/Vernon Valley ski area, The Vietnam Era Educational Center (a handsomely done museum created by the same team that did the Holocaust Museum in Washington,D.C.) and lots of listings of county as well as state parks.
The book is sectioned by subject (zoos, museums, great mansions, restored villages, the great outdoors, quaint towns, gardens, outlets and flea markets, etc.) and indexed alphabetically so you can always find what you are looking for. Try finding "The Spirit of New Jersey" (it's a boat) in any other Jersey guidebook.
