TNSC is a wonderful little museum and environmental education center located in the Watchung…read moreReservation, with many nature and outdoor programs and workshops for children & families as well as adults. It's a great place to take kids, and admission is free! The museum has exhibits, hands-on interactive displays, a cool night theater show, and a children's discovery/play room. You could also observe many beautiful and exotic bird species fly to and fro around the bird feeders out back through a large window. Upstairs are classrooms and a small library area. There are many hiking trails, including the Sensory Trail, a child-friendly 0.3 mile loop with special sensory exploratory features such as talking kiosks, musical play, and garden structures. There is also a playground and picnic areas in the vicinity. In addition, if you care to explore other parts of this 2,000+ acre reservation, drive or hike to nearby Watchung Stable to see the horses and riders; and for sure visit the Deserted Village of Feltville, a can't-miss area of Watchung with historic buildings dating back to the 18th century, and is a cool stroll.

They have a park nearby too which is walking distance. The center itself is cool, has a kids toy play area, a reading section and another section to learn of different animals - fake and real. Lots of parking in the area and when you're done, there is food nearby, about 15 minutes away. Definitely recommend if you are on a budget because family trips get expensive.

I'm here to tell you that if you live in the area, and you swim or have children who like to be outdoors in a pool, this is a way better way to get that experience than to have your own pool at home. The pool is split in 3 separate areas. 1 for swimming (25ft), 1 for adults (depth ~ 6 ft) and 1 general area for kids and adults to just be in the water. Outside the pool area there is a kiddo pool for those under 4 years old. Then there is a very nice water spray park with plenty of activities for those under 7 years old. Lastly, there are slides for those 14 and under when they can go all wet and slide down -- this is shaded under trees so it's cooler than the other areas. The park sells food, but people bring their own coolers with food and drinks (no alcohol). Bathrooms and change areas are cool and safe. People are really friendly, mostly teenagers acting as staff. Lifeguards are around in all sections. Children need to pass a swimming test to be in the other areas of the pool. If they do not know how to swim or thread in water, they get a yellow band and are confined to the recreation area. I've met plenty of people from the community. Everybody is friendly. People get the season pass and go there every time the weather is nice.

I have been going to the pool for 3 years now and have had mostly a wonderful experience. The…read morelifeguards are courteous and friendly however tonight I had my first uncomfortable experience. It was just about closing time and my husband and I were the only patrons left in the water. I put my arms around my husband and gave him a totally benign kiss when we were approached by a lifeguard who accused us of being sexually inappropriate. I immediately exited the pool and found a manager who wildly accused us of disorderly conduct. Furthermore if you have young children I advise against taking them here as although thong bikinis are against pool policy I see them on a regular basis.

The classes and instructors here are truly some of the finest in the industry. A special shoutout to Sandy, Ruth, Reena, and Payal for world-class Yoga classes; Sakshi, Aanchal, Hollia, and Srividya for Zumba; and EJ, Marilyn, and Angela for Pilates and Total Body. Full credit also goes to Christine, who is a great leader and manages a wonderful team overall. The only downside is the front desk; they lack warmth and look unhappy to see a member walk in. But the rest of the activities in the club and the other wonderful staff more than make up for the hostility at the front desk."

Camp Counselors beware!! This camp owner likes to underpay their hardworking counselors! My kid…read moreapplied -20 yr old college student looking for summer job, and was interviewed by Larry. Pay was not discussed. So my kid asked. And he said "it's below minimum wage, but you make tips" So I dug a bit further. This guy pays these kids $8.12 per hour to be camp counselors!?! EIGHT DOLLARS per hour! While they charge in the upward of almost $4k per camper!? Also, WHO TIPS counselors?? I never. EVER. MET ANYONE who ever tipped a counselor, sadly. This camp and its owners are horrible and they deserve to be held accountable to pay these kids the minimum wage of $16.50!!

Overall, I really appreciate being a member of this gym…read more The cons: what other yelpers have already said-- the cost is very high in comparison to other local gyms and the other chains (Retro, Work Out World). The facilities are somewhat out of date, however, the staff does work hard to ensure that they are well maintained. The pro's: The staff members are awesome- trainers, front desk greeters, and most notably, the class instructors. I've been a member of many gyms prior to starting here, and was always intimidated at taking classes. However, starting at The Club, I was able to jump right in, take classes, and it was thanks to the instructors. Caesar and Celita are by far the best instructors that I've encountered- they have both the high energy, enthusiasm, and dynamic personality to engage a class full of people and keep them coming back. I've met great people within the classes, and it always feels like a group effort. I've also done my son's birthday party at The Club, and it was a great experience as well. The pricing for that was great-- I think we spent $150 for a birthday party, which you can't find anywhere else. My son had a blast playing with his friends, and the girls who hosted the party were engaging and enthusiastic. Overall, I think this is a great gym, and I'm glad to be a member. For me, I justify the expense with ensuring that I am coming to the gym often, and making full use of the facilities. If you're just looking for a place to pop on a treadmill three times a month, then no, this probably isn't your gym.
