A nature center/museum and I don't have to do the…read moredrive downtown/pay for parking...and admission is free for Abington residents/friends of Briar Bush? Amazing. (Admission otherwise is only $3 for adults and $2 for kids 2-17). There's animals/insects inside such as owls, huge cockroaches, giant turtle, snakes. And a cute reading corner full of nature books. There's also a discovery den AKA play area indoors for $1. There's animals/insects outdoors such as turkey vultures, turtles, a butterfly house and a bird observatory (cute on the inside with toys for the kiddos - be sure to read the story about the couple who opened the center). And a natural playscape outdoors. There's also a bunch of fairy houses throughout the property that girl scouts donated. And lots of trails through the forest. They also have Magic Mornings for ages 2-4 Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - but register ahead as they only have a certain amount of spots each day (it's seasonal - they have in fall and spring but not summer - see website). It's an hour class for $10 and includes a snack, craft, nature walk etc. They usually pull out an animal each class. It's great to get some time in nature with other kids. In summer, they have a full week of Magic Mornings in their Itty Bitty Briar Camp. Ms. Heidi teaches it and she is just great. They have a different theme every day such as sun, water, clouds etc and there's an activity each day (visit pond and catch tadpoles, water play, craft pertaining to theme). They have preschool pioneers for ages 4-5 and summer camp for older kids for a week in late June. *Just beware in June that parking is limited due to school field trips and you may not fit in either of the lots; you may have to park out front of the house to the left (which is fine - she just doesn't want buses idling there) They also have field trips to gardens and to the shore, classes for seniors, family nature nights, hot smores nights... Only negative (besides parking, which they can't really control), is the "snacks" for kids at Magic Mornings aren't the healthiest. One was cinnamon sugar graham crackers with whipped cream- regular would have been fine. 2 days were cheddar gold fish. Another day was blue jello with whipped cream. And some red licorice - the kind that whips. Fruit Loops were used for colors. So, if you don't like your child eating sugar, let them know you have a dietary restriction or bring your own snack (snack time is ~10 min and probably not needed but the kids always love snack time!). Some options that would be healthier and just as easy would be pretzel sticks, fruit, crackers, popcorn, veggies, string cheese...but I guess those all cost more besides pretzels/crackers/popcorn.

I have been to DOW at least 3 times so far with my kids, mainly for birthday parties including 1…read moreparty of my own. My son's birthday is in February so I have to look for indoor places. After attending one of his friends birthday parties prior, and my son's obsession with Nerf guns, I knew I wanted to do it here. I have always celebrated my kids birthdays on the weekends but I had a smaller budget for this party and was very happy to discover they had weeknight packages and I decided to do it on a weeknight (you get way more for your money). The weeknight party package included 1 hour of Nerf gun battle, 1 hour Gaming Room and 45 mins for eating, cake, etc in the birthday room for 50 people; any age. I thought that was a pretty good deal especially because I always like to include cousins and friends (I have a big family). Before booking the package online - has to be done online with $100 non-refundable deposit - I did email DOW with a few questions on accommodations and processes and They responded quickly. Booking online is very easy and simple. You can send a link to your guests so they can pre-sign the waivers online and it makes it easier to check-in the day of. DOW is on a super busy street and 42 is always backed up so make sure you give yourself extra time to arrive early. Food and decor is not provided in the package but I believe you can order pizza through them. I ordered pizzas from Little Caesars at $5 a box vs $13-15 a box... I brought my own decorations/cake/party bags and our host was phenomenal. Not only did she help with setting up the decorations, the food, cake cutting/serving, cleaning, etc. she was very friendly and very attentive. The guys hosting the nerf battle and game room were also pleasant to work with, they helped out everyone with their guns and safety goggles and made sure we all had a good time. I had kids from the ages of 2 playing to adults and everyone had a blast, especially my son the birthday boy. The nerf guns are medium to large sizes and they have very few small ones so if you don't think your child can hold onto the gun, you should get in there and play with them too. I promise you will have fun too ;) and Yes, you have to fill up the guns yourselves for the most part but big deal?! I am sure I'll be going back again soon! Thank you DOW!

A lot of potential, but you can tell they are new…read more The place isn't organized enough, nor are the employees loud enough for all players to hear instructions. The HUGE center itself is great for Nerf play. There are lots of obstacles, a Jeep, ledges, window frames, etc. There are many rooms - the party my son went to tonight was in the main room. There are others that are maze like. My son didn't like that he had to wear a mask, but got it for safety reasons. The one (main) room only had "rival pellets" (ie - small fluffy balls) to use - and no darts. Boo! Private parties are upstairs. My friend's son's was great and spacious. She had one young girl helping with drinks, serving pizza, and helping with gifts & cake cutting. Impressive! I asked on the way out about "open play," etc. No answers or pamphlets - just referred me to the website. With the right marketing, this place could be incredible!

As much as I love going out on the lake and kayaking, this is not appropriate for little kids. The…read moreplayground is so unsanitized and it's so dirty. I mean, I get it surrounded by a bunch of sand and a lake and trees, but that doesn't excuse it. The bathroom is locked most of the time and after 7 PM the bathroom is locked for the whole night so you have to do a little tinkle out in the pond. It is gross I know, right? So my little ones like to run around the playground and they're the right age for it but sometimes things get broken and it shuts down and my husband he goes out kayaking and then my wife goes out partying at the nightclub so my little kiddos, they like to run wild on the thing and I don't know how this can slide but it's very small and no after they turned one year older they're not gonna like this place mark my words. I love going kayaking at this place and my whole family does but Thing is I don't really like going on the playground so small. I broke my neck here once and the grass is so brown. I don't even know how to believe it. So that's all I have to say after I broke my neck here I came kayaking and I fell into the sewer, but it's OK. I got myself out with the crew rescue teams and then the wildfires happened and then it was a very tragic day, but I'm not gonna talk about it because I don't wanna cry again. Oh my God don't cry don't cry don't cry cry let it all out. That was my husband by the way and my wife. They're the same person. They transitioned a few years ago, so they were a girl and now their husband, but I don't even know what to say my kiddo my kiddos they love this place, but not for long because I'm gonna mark their words out of here. Here's a picture of my broken neck injury. I hope you guys can take this into consideration before coming here because this place is wonderful masterful but I just don't know how much I can trust the employees anymore not there is any employees which is also a red flag there's no employees and who would have their birthday party here. I saw someone having a birthday party here earlier and it was gross and disgusting. It makes my skin boil. I don't know why anyone would have a birthday party here it's really boring, but I feel like if you had a few more attractions like maybe a Ferris wheel or a waterslide or maybe a roller coaster I could maybe come here a little more often and get you guys more money thank you. Please take into consideration my review and please accept this token of a accomplishment. You guys have done well.

Our paddle took about an hour, and they allow you to borrow the kayaks up to 2 hours. After our paddle we checked out the playground for a bit. It was perfect for our 4 year old. It has 4 big kid swings and 2 baby swings and areas for the both the bigger kids and little ones.

(To be fair, they have mini golf, which was closed when I was there today, and ALLEGEDLY an indoor simulator, but when I called to inquire, they never picked up the phone and never called back.) Went there to hit a large bucket of balls today, along with every other single person in Deptford; or so it seemed. Large bucket is $13 and is about 100 balls, so the price isn't bad, even though everything else was. First, the mats are beat to shit. They are grooved, indented and just crappy. There are no tees. I even went to the shop to ask, and was told, "nah...we don't have any." So, you just have to hope to luck up and find an empty mat with a tee on it. I had to move from the upper deck to the lower, outside level to find a mat with a reasonable tee, as everything else was taken or without a tee. As bad as the mats are, the balls are 10x worse. I went to Ginos Driving Range in Mantua, and I thought THOSE balls were bad. The balls here are abysmal. Scuffed, cracked, bald; a mixture of range balls and found top flights, etc. Just terrible. (See the pics.) The range is a muddy mess with an old rusted out plane sitting on it. I guess to give duffers something to make noise at. No yard markers or anything constructive. AND, something I found weird/dangerous, is the the range kind of horseshoes, with people on the "sides" hitting off the actual grass, almost BACK INTO THE OTHER RANGE MATS. The grass crowd was basically perpendicular to the other hitters, AND to the LEFT, so a slice from them would send the balls straight at the people on the range. I didn't have that occur to me today, but a ball DID come passing behind us from the other direction. (No idea how....) There aren't many ranges in the area, and this one is maybe barely better than Ginos, balls not withstanding, but I'll still be in no rush to get back here.

***DRIVING RANGE REVIEW ONLY***…read more That said....the driving range was pretty trash. First, the place is cash only, which isn't a deal breaker, but in this day and age, is more than a little annoying. Secondly, everything is a little run down. You CAN borrow a driver, but you better like Goodwill level clubs. (I brought my own.) The little driver corrals/pens/whatever were almost ALL missing tees, and when I finally found one laying around, it was so low that teeing up was barely higher than just putting it on the mat. The balls were an absolute disgrace. (See picture.) I've never even HEARD of "Valken" brand balls, and they were positively beat to shit. Cuts, worn out dimples, dirty...the whole 9. They felt like they were made out of concrete. Your DRIVER is sending these things maybe 150. The only real positive is that they weren't that expensive. A small bucket was $7 and a large is $12. I was there just to blow off some steam, which was good, because it would've been a wasted range session trying to work on my swing with that setup and THOSE BALLS. The mini golf and batting cage looked BETTER, but both still looked old, and old-school, so I don't think I'll be back to try either of those any time soon. MAYBE a cheap date night or something, if we don't have to time to drive too far for something a little more polished or modern.

Everything from the golf to the food makes it a one stop for my afternoon or evening activity.

Baseball fields, basketball courts, soccer fields, tennis courts, football fields, hiking trails, and a kids jungle gym.

Very large, very open, very clean park, smack dab in the middle of Gloucester Township. We went…read morehere yesterday, just looking for a new park to check out, and we were pleasantly surprised. This park pretty much has everything; playgrounds, open spaces, ball fields, basketball courts, a hiking trail (allegedly...we couldn't find it, but that was most likely our fault,) walking paths, etc, etc. Despite being so large, it's also rather connected, if that makes sense, and you're able to get to everything relatively quickly. The park is more "open" than "large." For example, you can get from one playground to another, without having to take a trek. There is a ton of space, but you're able to traverse the space to navigate the park. There's also plenty of parking. Also, they do drive in movies and stuff here, AND, it's dog friendly, so there aren't too many negatives. The only "downside" I could see is that it got pretty busy, and just being crowd-phobic by nature, it's less than ideal for me. We'll definitely be back early and often.
