I visited Historic Cold Spring Village after I saw they were dog friendly. I was traveling with my…read morepet and finding pet friendly places/activities was a big priority. The entry to see the village is $16. I paid the fee and began to walk around the village. At the second building we were turned away and said dogs could not go into the buildings. This upset me as the person at the entry gate didn't mention this and seemed excited to see a dog. Not being able to explore inside any of the buildings this ruined the experience of the village. I returned to the gate and asked for a refund. The girl was really nice and issued a refund right away. I am grateful for this customer service. They are not pet friendly as previously marketed. My experience at the village may have been different with a higher score but this detail really put a damper on the experience.

Also nice is the fact that you can get close (sometimes even inside) to the displays, as compared to some of the larger museums. A lot of local history and the NAS's contribution during WWII. There is also a cool little gift shop at the end (isn't there always) where you can pick up memorabilia. I would plan on spending an hour or so minimum - more if your really want to dig in to the displays & videos available. Great for the family & history/aviation buffs. PS - if you're there earlier in the day - check out the Flight Deck Diner for some good comfort food and displays of patches/aircraft models..

Yes, I've been to Amsterdam and this looks just like them. That's because the Zwaanendael Museum was designed to honor the city hall in Hoorn, Netherlands. The museum exhibits the history and settlement of the southern coast of Delaware. I thought the train lines were very interesting as well as the Delftware on display. Perhaps you missed that Lewes was bombarded by the British during the War of 1812 (there's a house with a cannonball not far away). The museum is free but definitely accepts donations.

Glass, yo, it's from Joy-zee!…read more This is a weird but cool arts campus in Millville, mainly about glass, but also housing a decent-size pottery guild, and a small building of textile/tribal arts. In addition to live glass blowing demonstrations, and special classes or make-and-take events for glass/pottery pieces, they have a glass museum with tons of history on glass in the USA. NJ had all the right conditions and materials (wood, sand, soda ash, and silica) for glass so it was the nation's main source of glass for a long period in US history. They make pottery and glass items on site that are sold in the store, and visitors can observe all of this being made. There is a long nature trail, a lake, historic schoolhouse, and various other interesting buildings on the campus. There are at least two stores, both with tons of glass and pottery/ceramic gift options, among other artistic mediums. There is finer art glass sculpture available too, in the gallery store. Wheaton offers a handful of free admission days every year (mostly in summer), including the Fire Muster, with a bunch of fire engines and firemen! They also host craft shows, holiday themed weekends, and other festival events. Live music and food trucks are normally part of any event day. It's a very fun place, and easily can take 2 hours to explore everything. My last visit I was there 3 hours and still didn't get to the nature trail. Nearby Vineland has many great food options, especially Puerto Rican.

The Wheaton Arts Center celebrates South Jersey and the greater Philadelphia area's incredible…read morelegacy of glass making. The arts center and village is located where glass making began in North America. Before it was even legally permitted by the British colonial rulers, the sandy soil here was too ideal for glass making to be ignored. Glass makers from Central Furope were encouraged to emigrate to set up glass making here and what a job they did until American independence when it finally became openly legal to produce glass and not have to import it from England. One of the great glass-making families of America were the Wheatons who started a factory in Millville, New Jersey and who also founded this arts center and the American Glass Museum. There is much to do here. Watching and learning how glass is made is fascinating and being able to interact with the glass-blowing artisans is very educational. A visit to the comprehensive Museum of American Glass is de rigeur. You'll be amazed at what you will see inside the museum including the world's largest bottle ever created - of course right here in South Jersey. There are shops, a nature walk, and pottery making as well. It's definitely worth a visit to the Wheaton Arts Center complex when you have an afternoon free and you are in Philadelphia or at the Jersey Shore.
