Top 40 things to do and attractions in Trenton

Great museum, plenty of history and great tours where u can touch real armor and clothes from the British, guide tour was very interesting and kind, nice price

Not too many places this old left in the United States. Most of the structure dates to the 1760's. On top of that, they frequently hold re-enactments. Lots of history can be learned here from a period people forget about.

Good place to learn/visualise about historical events. I wished I was able to get the outside exhibit like they promised. Good time with school age children.

This is a great place to go during Covid because it’s one of the few things that’s open!! You have to book your tickets ahead of time online and then show up for your designated time slot which is two hours. And let me tell you - my mom and I were there for a full two hours! We were actually the only people there and basically got a private tour the entire time! I can’t compare it to pre-Covid times as we had never been there before, but we got a thorough tour led by Asher who took us through the barracks and let us explore an exhibit, which was indoors, on our own. Then he handed us off to another guide dressed in character as a solider who told us all about his duties and fired a couples shots with his musket just for us. Then we watched a shoemaker and carpenter, in full character, for another half hour do their jobs while they told us all about them. Overall it was super thorough and very enjoyable! The staff played their parts just as if a whole crowd of people were there, except it was only two of us (again, basically a private tour!). Im really glad places like this are open so people can get out during this strange time of social distancing. Take this opportunity to go visit while it’s not crowded and support this local historical site in downtown Trenton! Plus, depending on the day, you can park for free right next to the Barracks (something we realized after we had already paid for parking)!

In my opinion it's too much money for the tickets. I didn't have a good time there. I feel I gave $20 away. I could only see a small room with the French Indian War Exhibit and a small room with a boring movie. No guides were available at the time to escort me on the other rooms. (I would had to wait half hour for that and I needed to check out at the hotel). And on top, no money back. Only a voucher so I could come back later (no way I'm coming back)...

This is a little hard to find and surrounded by the city but parking was okay when we arrived. It was however closed because they had just finished a special event. We were allowed to walk the grounds and an off duty staff did give us a little history. Amazing to think you can stand where General George Washington took command of the Continental Army.

This was a really neat experience during Patriots Week when SO many people in Period costume, and reenactors were present. It really made the place come alive!

I hadn't been to a planetarium since I was a kid and wanted to bring my husband and daughter for their first time and WOW! We had such a wonderful time. We chose the show "The Great Solar System Adventure" and it was the perfect balance between whimsy and science. Pre the 'movie', we were given a tour of our very own night sky and the gentleman who provided us this celestial tour (I don't recall his name at the moment, my apologies) was excellent! He was incredibly knowledgeable and you could hear the excitement in his voice. It was obvious he knows our universe very well and enjoys sharing that knowledge. I even spoke with him after the show and his enthusiasm remained. I asked for book recommendations for someone wanting to begin to understand the cosmos on their own and he gave plenty! I hope he's paid well. The show we saw was at 12pm Saturday September 27th. There weren't too many people there and the overall experience brought our whole family so much joy. We will be returning!

Smaller than we expected but still a nice visit. Lots of animals and dinosaur bones to look at. A great art selection. And an old furniture section. Word of caution. Depending on the day you go, the parking lot fills quick and so does the parking in front of the building. We needed to park two blocks away on a garage and walk over. Staff were super friendly and offered us a map upon arrival and additional information without being asked.

Love it, First time here and would go again only if it wasn't in Trenton. That's my only complaint but overall I loved the museum.

One of our favorite spots in and around Trenton. Had so much fun going through all the different exhibits and exercise/activity areas. Being FREE doesn't hurt, and the planetarium show is worth the nominal fee for the show.

A nice little-ish free museum to spend a few hours in. The planetarium is always fun, they seem to mix up their exhibits every once in a while. Clean, safe, good time for the family and just to peruse around. Would definitely recommend.

Visited on a weekend. The museum has about three floors and was just okay overall—not something I’d return to. I walked around for a bit, but nothing really stood out. Parking was a hassle; it wasn’t clear that street parking was free, and most nearby garages were closed. I ended up driving around for about 15 minutes trying to figure it out.

The New Jersey State Museum is a wonderful destination in Trenton that offers a perfect blend of education and entertainment. Whether you’re a history buff, an art enthusiast, or just looking for a fun day out, this museum has something for everyone.The planetarium is a highlight, offering engaging shows about the stars, planets, and space. Each show lasts approximately 30-45 minutes, making it easy to fit into your visit. Tickets are affordable, priced at $10 for adults and $5 for children. Shows are scheduled multiple times a day, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch one. It’s a great way to spend a few hours and gain a deeper appreciation for New Jersey’s history and the wonders of space.

WOW! The New Jersey State House is absolutely beautiful! I came here to be honored for the NJCBAA Honor Society representing Rutgers University Camden School of Business and what an absolute honor to sit inside of such an amazing historical place. The history shared was incredible to hear and the architectural details are beautiful. Definitely take a tour because it is worth it!

The only reason this is getting 5 stars because of a generous and courteous woman named Carol. Stopped to take a self guided tour like I have of other statehouses. Well, this one you have to have a scheduled appointment. Only time I've heard of that. They gave me a number to call and Carol called me back willing to take me through the building. Not the most impressive of statehouse but still beautiful in its own right. They just recently went through a remodel as well. Thank you so much Carol.

Great capitol building. They have a free parking garage which is always nice for visitors. The reason I give it 4 stars is because of the fact you need to book a tour in advance and cannot do a self guided tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour lasted around an hour.

Enjoyed the guided tour highlighting the history and architecture of the state house. All of the staff were very friendly.

From the civics lessons to local jokes, tour guide Matt has truly mastered his craft. He looked into our souls and truly educated us out of state travelers on the inner workings of the NJ State House. Stay classy, Matt. P.S. He is patient with hyperactive children.

hope jack is governor this time because Phil is just making new jersey more expensive and more liberal

I love when I'm visiting the area going here. All the stands are great. I always get some steaks, BBQ, soursop, and miscellaneous vegetables. Clean location. Lots of parking. Everything is friendly. See you next time I am in the area.

I can’t get enough of this place! This was my second visit and it’s so much fun! You can literally get everything from fruits and veggies to soaps, clothing, bread and dessert. The weekend seems to have more vendors but everyone is always friendly regardless of when you visit. The bbq stand…let’s just say the brisket beats any we had in Texas or the south in general. My only qualm- hours are confusing. Facebook says one thing, recording says another. In this day and age, Facebook trumps all so I went with that.

The two times that visited (first on Sunday and again late Saturday) we found the market not very crowded. I would imagine things will pickup in mid-summer to late fall.

Warning! Not all the vendors are nice and respectful but most are. It was my first visit. I had a very unpleasant experience with one of the vendors, Pineland Farms. The short woman was very dismissive and nasty. However, the manager of the Farmer's Market was very helpful and nice. He offered to help me put a 24" watermelon I purchased inside my car. You could tell he was just a naturally authentic nice guy.

Older establishment with a good amount of local vendors selling everything from clothing, sea moss,fruits and vegetables, hot food. Prices were good on some items, okay on others. Old school, flea market type interior with friendly vendors. One Amish hot food vendor. Ribs,chicken per lb. hot food vendor quality and price very good.

I stopped in here today for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. There were a lot of great vendors here. And I was able to eat lunch and grab dessert. It was pouring rain today, and the bathroom is in a separate building where you have to get a key to get inside. I was also hangry when I got here and some guy was trying to force me to talk to him about some charity. Other than that, a very good experience. I love that there are two vegan places to eat here.

Place to get fresh locally grown, organic produce. They have tonne of small shops inside this place ranging from a breakfast place, fresh juice center, local boutique, coffee chain. Awesome selection of fruit, vegetables, hot prepared foods, 2 vegan eateries, Deli meats and baked goods. Lambertville BakeHouse, excellent bakery with great bagels and pastries. Porkroll from Cartlige's Meats will change your life. Support local, and shop small!

Cadwalader Park is my go-to refuge when the city noise gets too loud and life feels too fast. Nestled in the northwest corner of Trenton, it offers a gentle escape into nature's embrace. The moment I step onto its winding paths, the urban buzz fades, replaced by birdsong, rustling leaves, and the kind of quiet that feels like a deep breath. Whether I'm strolling beneath towering trees or simply sitting and listening to the symphony of nature, this park never fails to restore me. It's not just green space, it's a place to reconnect, reflect, and recharge. If you're looking for peace, beauty, and a break from the concrete rhythm, Cadwalader delivers

This park is such a nice place to walk around. I was truly impressed by the size of this city park. It has a steam along one side, threes throughout, but not so many that its like being in the woods. Some beautiful historic buildings. All tucked into the city of Trenton. Im impressed.

Great place to walk, eat out on the bench, park for kids... Wonderful trees and scenery.

Nice park to enjoy the outdoors. Beautiful landscaping, new benches and BBQs just bring your own charcoal. Lots of wildlife and since it's right next to canal some fishing opportunities. There is also a really nice playground area for the kids with many different age appropriate options.

This park is a hidden gem! Beautiful grounds and the mansion is a museum which is wonderful and the park is so nice and in the middle of Trenton! There is multiable BBQ grill stations and a newly redone play ground, the security is very good and very helpful, I met on security man and he told me about how it was back in the day and that he has been going there since 1965 and now he works at the park, he was very helpful. I would definitely go, bring some BBQ and grill up a snack under a tree! Show up early as it gets busy during the afternoon, what a hidden gem and there is reminents of the old zoo there as well!

Despite being a little apprehensive about this park due to the bad surrounding neighborhood, the park itself is lovely. They just built and opened a beautiful new playground. I am sad that I feel paranoid whenever I go into the park. To help this, I bring absolutely no valuables but my phone and leave long before sunset. Taking a walk in this park is great.

Treasure in West Ttenton. Great for whole family whether looking for outdoor recreational activity or indoor art and culture activities at Trenton City Museum.

The city needs to take better care of the area. Grass hadn't been mowed in a long time.

Perfect little park to sit and enjoy the day and learn about Trenton’s importance in US history.

The Trenton Battle Monument is a notable historical site worth visiting if you find yourself in the area. This impressive monument commemorates the pivotal Battle of Trenton during the American Revolutionary War. Standing at 148 feet tall, the monument offers a striking presence and serves as a reminder of the significant events that took place here in 1776. Visitors can take an elevator ride to the top of the monument, where you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the city and surrounding areas. The site is well-maintained, and there are informative plaques and displays that provide context and historical background about the battle and its importance in American history. While the monument itself might not take long to visit, its historical significance and the perspective it offers make it a worthwhile stop for history enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. If you're exploring Trenton or nearby areas, the Trenton Battle Monument is definitely worth a look.

The Trenton Battle Monument was dedicated in 1893 to honor the American troops who fought in the Battle of Trenton on December 26, 1776. This battle was a significant turning point in the American Revolutionary War, as it boosted the morale of the Continental Army after a series of defeats. The monument stands 148 feet tall and features a striking obelisk design, topped with a statue of George Washington, symbolizing his leadership during this critical moment in history. The monument is surrounded by a beautiful park, which provides a reflective space for visitors to appreciate the bravery of those who fought for independence. It serves not only as a tribute to the soldiers but also as a reminder of the struggles and sacrifices made for freedom. The surrounding area is also rich in history, making it a wonderful place for both history buffs and casual visitors to explore.

Great statue but the interior museum is closed to the public because the elevator is over 100 years old and unsafe. Would cost a fortune to repair and the city of Trenton is strapped for cash. The granite monument is beautiful and worth a visit during the day or during a special event. It's not terribly safe for tourists at nighttime.

Good historic place but the downtown is so rundown that it was a disappointment. A capital city should not have roads, Streets like that. A better cleaning, but more planting and upkeep will go a long way.

This monument is a towering memorial to George Washington and his army for his stunning victories over the Hessians and British army at the Battles for Trenton. It can be seen from several blocks away from the center of this city. There are several benches to rest and reflect about the Colonial army's victories here. It is also the commencement point of the Battle of Trenton re-enactment on 12/30/2023. A great historical and hallowed ground in American history. Well worth a visit here in Trenton.

First time there today with my family, and it's a great museum. Easy, free parking. House is gorgeous with an informative tour guide who does a nice job balancing the information and the flow through the house. Tour length about 45 minutes. Because only one person was working we did have to wait for a previous tour to finish and there was no sign to let us know that so we stood around for 10 minutes or so, but there were plenty of informational displays in the admission area to keep us occupied. A great piece of Trenton and NJ history!

Visited for Annual Hogmany celebration as part of Patriots Week. Learned some history, chatted with nice people, and toured the Trent house. It's a fun thing to do during the holidays!

Love their mission to preserving American history and their commitment to tell Black History within their work. I went for a reading of Frederick Douglass July 5th speech to honor the contradiction of a nation born in service to freedom with the chains of slavery intact. The actual house is now back open and fully air-conditioned to help preserve its original state.

I've always passed this historic little building coming home to PA. Its a cool little spot to check out and its inexpensive. Lots of history!

Great visit! Really enjoyed the tour. The home is incredibly well-preserved.

Great place to visit. Great history. Visitors Center has lots of local maps of "the way it was.". Easy parking. Easy access.

When we came it said it was open the grounds were open very beautiful, peaceful, quiet place but everything looked closed, so we were not able to go inside.

This was an impressive veterans memorial. Wonderful design to it and a convenient location across from the statehouse. Just feel it was well put together. A little disappointed as I believe there is supposed to be some kind of fountain or waterfall but it was not operational the day I visited.

A very nice tribute for those who served.

Wow!! The amazing artist Tom Moran does it again!! He is incredible!! Loved the beautiful design and timelines, especially. A must see when you are in NJ!!

Clean and shaded seating area. The lady statue has some big feet.

This is one of the best WWII memorials I have ever had the honor to view in my lifetime. It is located in Trenton, NJ on West State Street. Visited here on December 30th, 2023. It honors the great sacrifice to all who served and courageously defended the United States and our Allies in both the European and Pacific theaters of war. A must visit if you are ever in Trenton. You will not be disappointed.

Nice place to take a few pics

Since it's closed now, unable to visit. However the opposite structure made to reflect ww2 was too little to feel overwhelmed

We saw Hot Wheels Glow and Fire! We did the pre-show meet and greets! It was awesome to be next to the trucks. We were there very early and the staff was nice enough to open the stadium a little earlier since it was freezing outside!! We found free parking nearby too!!

Nice and well organized place for concerts and all kind of shows. Traffic was well managed by the management. They do up charge for parking near arena but free parking can be find on near by streets.

Your normal arena with plenty of seating. Quite intimate. Took my family for Hot Wheels Monster Truck show. Pretty fun. My kids loved it. Good food options as well, chicken tenders, fries, burgers, hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, icees, all the stuff families love and get.

We went here for a cheer competition. The seating was okay, but some of the chairs were tearing up or dirty. The food was overpriced and did not taste the best. I was able to see the suites at the end, and I wish my team would have went with a suite because they definitely looked worth the cost compared to general admission. You can’t bring any outside food or drinks, so be prepared to spend money because everything was pricy.

Such a great small arena with seating that gives a great view in any angle. Great food options, and family friendly. The facilities were very clean and the staff was really helpful. Bonus too that they still take cash!

Disney on ICE. It's still a great place to take the kids. The last put on a magical show. There were many police around keeping our kids and family's safe. #disneyonice

Terrible, overpriced food and badly organized parking. It's ridiculous that the parking gets closed down even when spots are available. They say it's to allow for the cars to exit, which doesn't really make sense. There's no reason people can't both exit and enter like everywhere else. They also don't have enough spots.

We visited for the first time to see sculpture by Clifford Ward. The space was terrific to showcase his dynamic work. The opening was jammed with art lovers, but didn't feel stifling. High ceilinged and expansive, Artworks appears to be a converted warehouse. In the back, a few artists had open studios, which was a pleasant surprise. Our only unpleasant surprise was completely empty walls near the refreshments table -- why not fill those with art or artistic textiles too (anything besides boring plain white drywall)?

Excellent collaborative community group. All different activities and discussions to do

A long overdue review as I've been visiting this gallery/art center for a while, even taken a few of the weekend classes here and there over the years. I'm learning that some of the top emerging artists in New Jersey can be found right here in Trenton at Artworks! Their Art All Night and Art All Day events are community centered (great for my kids and teens), and the curators/staff who run the gallery really know the local art scene. If you are an art collector and art advisor looking for fresh perspectives, Artworks is a (increasingly not-so) hidden gem. I suggest signing up for their newsletter and attending an opening reception, which makes for a fun, artsy start to a night out.

Artworks is a fantastic place! Art classes for all all ages and skills. Art exhibits of local talent. Current exhibit is great, a refashioning of Rosie the Riveter and how it applies to our current time.

I really enjoy their gallery exhibits. If you are looking for something cool to see check them out!

Perfect place for developing art skills

A must see when visiting the Delaware Valley and the Historic Trenton / Princeton area...

A wonderful walk through some beautiful sculpture! This place was amazing and would be perfect for a date day. I was surprised how much there was to explore. I didn’t get a chance to see it all so I can’t wait to come back and explore some more.

Wow! This place was amazing. It really does encourage you to just wander and check out all the art. It’s also a garden so there are lots of pretty landscaping.

Visiting Grounds For Sculpture is truly a magical experience! This beautifully curated 42-acre sculpture park offers a perfect blend of nature, art, and peaceful exploration. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just looking for a serene place to wander, this destination delivers on every level. The grounds are immaculate, with winding paths that lead you through stunning landscapes dotted with contemporary sculptures, whimsical installations, and tranquil water features. It’s like walking through a dream—every corner reveals a new surprise or hidden masterpiece. The integration of art and nature is seamless, creating a meditative and inspiring environment. Some pieces are interactive or photo-friendly, which makes it a fun and engaging visit for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Don’t miss the recreated impressionist scenes—it’s like stepping into a painting! The on-site restaurant, Rat’s, is also a delight and worth a reservation for a truly elevated experience. Highly recommend spending at least half a day here—wear comfortable shoes and bring a camera! This place is a treasure and one of New Jersey’s best-kept secrets.

Today, I had the privilege of meeting a truly remarkable and deeply talented Mexican-American artist whose work left a lasting impression on me. His art, exhibited in the East Gallery and through powerful outdoor sculptures, centers on the themes of the Mexican border wall and the broader immigrant experience. Both visually arresting and emotionally resonant, his work speaks with honesty and urgency. Through his art exhibition in the East Gallery, he addresses the complexities of the political landscape with grace, courage, and profound humanity. This experience served as a poignant reminder that, at our core, “we are all human” worthy of dignity, compassion, and respect. Art like this transcends borders, challenges division, and invites us to see one another more clearly. My deepest gratitude to Grounds For Sculpture for making this impactful event possible. And to the artist, thank you for sharing your vision, and your truth. Your work speaks volumes, and it truly matters.

The grounds were well maintained,access to digital map, hundreds of works of art along the 42 acres. Several eateries and restrooms on site. Timed entry so advisable to purchase tickets online and in advance.

Visiting Grounds For Sculpture with my family was an incredible and inspiring experience. Naively, I thought two hours would be enough—but even a quick round took us about 3.5 hours, and I could have easily spent the whole day. The grounds are huge, filled with sculptures that are funny, modern, thought-provoking, and stunning. Tip: come right at the opening to avoid the crowds. Bring water, a snack, and comfortable shoes, then give yourself permission to wander and soak it all in. There are also cozy cafés tucked into the grounds. Absolutely amazing, one of the best sculpture garden and a must-see.

We had our wedding ceremony at Grounds For Sculpture, and it was absolutely wonderful! Even though it rained, the team made sure everything still went perfectly. The setting was stunning, and the staff went above and beyond to take care of us and all our guests. They made sure we felt supported and calm through it all, and the day turned out beautifully. We couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience — thank you for helping make our wedding day so special!

I’m giving this sleepy little museum 5 stars to hopefully get more people to go. Growing up in North Jersey I thought Trenton was a wasteland, and I was I surprised and proven wrong! It’s such a charming little city on the historic promenade of the Delaware river. This museum sits in a beautiful park that is well loved and it had a great museums shop and lots of local history. Staff is also very amenable and kind. Go for the special exhibits.

We attended for an African Mask Making workshop. It was a fun event and staff/volunteers were extremely helpful with gluing and recommendations for structuring your art. You were able to touch other actual art mask with white gloves and there was an African mask history book being passed around. Everyone was extremely friendly and introducing themselves. There were a ton of materials, snacks and family friendly from age 2-adults/couples. We were not able to see the entire museum but the grounds looked beautiful. Parking was convenient, park security at all entrances as well. After we explored the beautiful architecture of homes in neighborhood across the street afterwards (Calwaldere Heights I believe) that reminded my of my previous neighborhood NY. I would definitely recommend for families.

A beautiful celebration and ode to Trenton local history. The hours are wonky, which means that I've now gone for two special events, but it is a delight to see the pride and rich history that the museum exemplifies. Great museum shop!

Fantastic museum with so much history, really a home town feel and learn about Trenton as well, walk around d the park as well, very nice.

Very nice visit to Ellarslie today. Two artist friends had work on display so I went with friends to see their work. The museum is easily accessible through the park and the road was set up for easy parking. Staff/volunteer members were fun and informative. The display for the art exhibit comprised two floors. Most were framed work gathered nicely on the walls and a few stand alone sculptures. Some of the work was incredible. Also on view are many of the museums permanent collection. And of course a stop in the well stocked gift shop$$$. Everybody in my small group of three made purchases. Unfortunately, there was no A/C but the place was very well ventilated and although the sign on the door suggested masks, the staff went without such attire. After my glasses fogged up I removed mine as well. I only saw two other guests on this hot Friday afternoon.

In the heart of West Trenton region with beautiful views throughout the park sits Ellarslie museum. Trenton City Museum is more than just history. You will glorify the the education provided of Trenton and the Cadwalder park area. The events that are and will be held at Ellarslie tend to fit all ages.

I think the museum is the best thing that has happened to Trenton and I pray that we continue to grow and have things like this where people can come and enjoy themselves it's just a beautiful thing. It was so well kept and snacks was a wonderful thing that I didn't think I was going to get anything , but I enjoyed it everything was nice , the store , the pictures just taking your time browsing around was a wonderful experience.

Great stadium, and Trenton thunder games are always a good time. Friends and I got a box here and it was very reasonable with good food and we weren't baking in the sun. Everyone seemed to enjoy, and we were well taken care of by the stadium staff! Security was a little pushy and rude at the end, but whatcha gonna do.

Just a great time at the ballpark. $5 parking, clean and well-kept stadium, beautiful river view. The baseball itself is not quite double or triple A but is still competitive and fun to watch. My kids enjoyed their time at the park as well and only sparingly went on their phones so points for that. But the highlight of the night without question was Rookie the bat dog. We are a dog loving family and that adorable retriever, um, retrieving the bats got the biggest cheer of the night by far. Great time and would love to see the Thunder back as a AA or AAA affiliate in the near future.

Excellent faculty! Every seat is awesome, Concession prices are higher than I expected for a minor league experience but all in all it was a great time!!

It is a nice baseball stadium / park here. Clean, right size, easy to park, and most importantly, family friendly.

Nice place to enjoy the baseball ⚾️ Also, the staff is very kind and there is good food/beverages, although a little expensive.

First visit in a couple of years. To me it is much more enjoyable than Major League parks, large enough to feel the crowd, yet roomy enough to get into the game without having to have field glasses to see the players. Parking was reasonable, convenient to the park. The personnel were friendly, helpful and in some instances entertaining. There were games for the kids between innings which helped keep them satisfied. The fireworks after the game were also quality and lengthy enough to satisfy most everyone. All in all it was a nice night, the game was good, the players played hard and it made it interesting. Enjoy what we did and we plan to come back soon.

Such a great show, and that's not including the game! There is always some sort of crowd competition in between innings, great food and drinks options, free merch thrown out and characters mingling with the crowd. Great night out.

I don't think I've ever reviewed a bridge before but here it goes: Well maintained and good looking bridge. Provided a wonderful backdrop to a photo and video shoot we were doing. It is well maintained and safe to travel.

The Lower Trenton Bridge has been a fantastic money-saver for me. Even though the U.S. 1 Trenton Morrisville Toll Bridge is only $1.50, I've probably saved around $50 over the past couple of years by taking the Lower Trenton Bridge instead. It only adds about 2 minutes to my trip, which is well worth it. Thank you for keeping this bridge toll-free!

toll free bridges are always heavily loaded during the daytime. first time there to pick up my daughter's early landing flight in PHL around 6:30 am. So I was there about 5:40, I saved $1.5 for my E-ZPass or $3.00 in cash, but I spent more than 15 minutes to go through.

Beautiful structure and well maintained. The walk along the river on the bridge is a fun experience

This bridge works great. I started out on one side and it got me clear to the other side.

I kept driving past that bridge on Highway 1 which links Morrisville, PA to Trenton, NJ, so one day, I stopped to take a proper picture of this historic bridge. "Trenton makes, the world takes...." This used to be true in the 30's up to the 60's not so much now, this has become a relic of what the US used to be. There is probably another bridge in China with similar wording now.

Nice bridge. Kinda sounds cool when you drive on it.

I will be honest, this was a really bad state capitol, and I have been to many. Outside of the scaffolding which I know is temporary, it is not in the nicest style; state capitols usually have loads of statues and memorials, but this one only had the WWII, for which the one star is given, because it is admittedly very nice. Other than that, it is not in a nice place, and when you try to take a photo from the other side, you are/will be in the road. Lastly, it isn’t even open on weekends like every other state Capitol I’ve been to, and there are no self-guided tours. If you’re wondering why Jersey is so poorly run, look no further than here. I’d take a photo then get outta there.

I took the free tour (you just have to call ahead and get your name on the list) and it was excellent. Erica was a lot of fun and provided many interesting facts about the building and how the Jersey government functions. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the scenery and walking around the place. Nice to get to see a lot of the history of the state I live in. Was upset that the library was closed when I went though. Wouldn’t mind visiting again.

Its a shame that some of the buildings are falling apart. Nice grounds

Beautiful capitol with lots of historical facts. Our guide, Matt was excellent....he knew all the facts and could answer all our questions...great job, MATT! thanks again Judy and Ken

There’s a tour in state house，but I didn’t find the schedule of it. We arrived in Labor Day,then the building is closed. The state library is next to state house, and state museum is nearby. Actually, this area is call capital complex.

We did the Hidden Treasures Tour offered during Patriots week and it was GREAT. Mr. April was a wonderful guide full of enthusiasm and information. Kudos. My niece and I learned many new things and enjoyed every minute. Make sure you have your ID.

Quaint but at the same time NJ modern ball park currently the home of the Thunder baseball team. We decided to do our Fourth of July celebration there and it turned out to be a fantastic idea. The only down side was the incompetence of the parking staff. We waited over 1 1/2 hour in the parking lot after the game before we even reached the street. They were confused and even rude to people who were asking them questions.

Nice ballpark, great atmosphere, I got 2 baseballs during the game and over 10 autographs as well as a bobblehead as a promotion. Everything was great except the service at the Pork Roll Paradise Stand, which was not very good.

Although the team didn't win, we had a great time. The kids loved the game and the mascots. The vendors were great (a little pricey, but hey, it's a ball park). Great place to enjoy the afternoon with kids and family.

Fun ballpark that does a great job keeping fans entertained. Fireworks after some of the evening games is always fun

Hands down my favorite baseball team of all time. Being a native of Trenton, it's almost mandatory that you go to at least 1 game. I've been coming here every season consistently since 2015 with the exception of covid. This place is such a great way to mix up you week and enjoy a great game. You get all the fun of professional baseball without that hours of traffic and massively overpriced food. Come here and have a great time with friends, family, date night, or even solo.

Really nice ballpark right on the water. Plenty of parking ($5). All the staff is super friendly. Not a bad set in the house! It’s really cool when the dog comes out to grab the bats. Very fun atmosphere for adults and kids. Plenty of food options, and they have steam store. If you are looking to take in a ball game and not break the bank, this is exactly what your looking for. Hope this helps! Happy Travels!

Great development league stadium - seating is comfortable and close to the field, prices are cheap, lots of fun extras, and good food options. Originally Arm and Hammer Field (and some branding remains) since the 2021 reorganization of Minor League Baseball, the Trenton Thunder are now a summer development (MLB Draft League) team. Seats are as cheap as $15, there are special food prices/theme nights, and they have lots of between-inning entertainment. Parking at the garage next door is only $5 too.

Reason 32 of 6,986 why I live in Trenton. Great selection, even better staff. If you live in Trenton, your passing through, or had family here at one time check out the Trentoniana, Wendy M. Nardy reasearch room.

Absolutely LOVE this place! The dedication from the staff goes unmatched - space is full of resources and care. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Thank you for all you do!

Trenton library is very resourceful, and the staff is willing to work with you if you not familiar with the computer. I even went there and found my year book of my graduation pictures for the year I graduated. They had a class before that help you get better with working with the computer and children can get a lot out of this library as long they applied himself to what is offer to them .

Trenton Library was awesome When I tell you I forgot a lot of words when it came to spelling. I am soon to be 61 and I just don't do much reading or writing. But today I learn it don't matter how old you are, there is someone will help you. The ladies that work there was the Bomb I mean without a doubt they jump right in and help me. I almost CRIED from the love they show me. I am really going to get a part time job. And when I do I will look for them and recommend them to stay in that field. Awesome Ladies. Down town Trenton Library. YES.

I had an unpleasant experience in Trenton Public Library. On 3/26/21 I Went there seeking a notary. Needless to say after being questioned and what felt like interrogated for about a good half an hour. I didn't get what I came for. Instead I was given an appointment for another time. On top of that I ask to use the restroom. When the security opened the door I was greeted by this unpleasant stinking odor I Immediately had to turn away. Unable to use the restroom because it was just that bad. I never expected to be treated with such unprofessional behavior from what supposed to be one of the city most pleasant place to go for help. Signed: a very disappointed resident 😒

The staff is helpful and the facility is always clean. Great selection of books too. Going through a renovation right now

I been attending this place since 2011 me and my daughter I remember before she was born this place was in bad shape but it has improved I've had a lot of wonderful memories here a lot of people have come and gone.

Food and bread was good. I been there a couple of times.

I have drove by many times but never stopped in. The parking is a problem but the coffee and desserts are very good!

It is an excellent place to have breakfast, the food that is served very rich Guatemalan

Nice desserts!

Please have a sign saying that there is a minimum to pay with Credit Card. I drove 18 minutes for nothing since there is a “minimum”. I explained to the lady working ( Sunday) but she didn’t care and the person and charge either. Horrible I’m not recommending this place anymore like I used to be. This Bakery care more about taking payment in cash only. Have some employees that can provided better customer services

It was my first time going to this one specifically I came here for a birthday cake for my sister and they were way more professional, and understood the assignment. No hiccups.

Very nice place. Modern and clean, lots of pastries and breads. We've gone twice for breakfast which are delicious. Nice to have a breakfast platter with an Hispanic touch, both of our platters had fried plantains, refried beans, a slice of farmers cheese, and more (besides the eggs and meat).

I love this park. Very nice paths to walk through along the creek, and love the historical significance it has associated with the iron bridge in the middle. Not a lot of shade, and no benches underneath trees which is a downside, but nonetheless great place for strolling. Great location great park!!!

It’s a small park for walking and enjoyment. A female friend and I did a little jogging and other little exercises. It was nice a peaceful. Two times being there for this, we have been greeting warmly by others enjoying the park sitting on benches. Nice park.

Nice scenic park in the middle of the city especially in the fall when the leaves change colors. The downside is not many areas of shade..

Simpy put, just an old fashioned open air park. There's a Thursday Farmers Market (May to October), free concert series every Thursday during the summer, plus a great safe open space in the middle of downtown Trenton. The walking trails that circle the park and close proximity to the historic section of Mill Hill, makes this park truly special.

Battle Reenactment 2018. A great family event, and learn about history. Every year between Christmas and New Years during Patriots Week. Check it out some time!

I attended a house music festival there and the park was clean and the venue was very organized... this event was put on by Mark Gibson from trenton house heads. It's an awesome event done every year. It's beautiful because it brings all people together. No matter RACE, GENDER OR WHERE YOU OR FROM. I just to see the love people have for each other. It's a great event, can't wait for next year!!!

Nice House Music festival! Good vendors. Food sucked!!!!

I rented out the planetarium to propose to my fiance. Garland, Jacob, and Denny facilitated everything flawlessly, from making up a reason why we were the only two people in the room for the movie, to "will you marry me" being written in the stars across the screen at the end of the movie. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

I arranged a proposal in the and Jacob did an amazing job at creating an image for the planetarium screen. He also played our song which was amazing. I've also been to this planetarium many times before for various shows and have never been bored or let down. Great place to go with the family and friends.

Would be a great place to visit with kids, nothing substantial but overall good. Planatorium is not much great as expected.. Entry is free and 7$ for planatorium..

Had a great experience visiting! Every employee we encountered was so kind, accommodating, helpful, and engaging. The mini museum before and after the planetarium show was a lovely addition to our trip! Highly recommend this show for all ages. ⭐🌚

Such a nice free museum for every age.... my daughters love to walk around

An amazing place for whole family. Much better then a movie theater as to me.

Perfect size for an afternoon trip with little ones. Gets better every time we go. Always check Groupon for a deal.

I and a couple of friends went to see the play " GHETTO GODS". It was a great play with a great cast! The theater was warm and welcoming.

Passage is a great theater company. I highly recommend going to thier shows, I feel like this one of the best Jem's of NJ. One of my favorite activities for a Jam packed Trenton adventure is start the day off at one of the local coffee shops, head to one or two of the many art museums, then pop into artworks, and then grab something to eat before the show at one of the many great restaurants Trenton has to offer.

Just saw an excellent production of Alma here last week! So happy to have such a great local theatre!

Live Theater is back! Ok Trenton was a great show. Quaint Theater with quality shows by professional actors. A gem of the community

A favorite haunt. Trenton deserves theatre and our theater is so good.

Good experience, as usual. Thanks to Steven St. Pierre and Brishen. And 3 cards.

Absolutely the best small theater in NJ! The space itself is lovely and inviting, and with 99 seats, there's no bad seat in the house. The artistic direction is superb, often with a social justice spin. This year's Caged, was one of the most profound plays produced anywhere, and received multiple Barrymore nominations (and will hopefully win). Everything they do is worth checking out.

The guy working behind the counter was incredibly rude to me when all I was doing was going to the bathroom. He made me feel unsafe I don't understand why someone like that can be allowed to work here.

For someone who can make the best of any library, this one wasn't worth the trip. There was a very rude, difficult woman with an extremely heavy accent working on the ground floor there when I visited. While I kept my feelings to myself, and didn't make a scene, I'm curious as to how she ever ended up working in a state library in the US. There’s not much else to say about this library... it's not pleasant to look at, or visit, or study. The pickings are very slim outside of the law library. There’s free garage parking. That’s the only good thing I can say about the NJ state library.

The place is perfect for studying. It is very quiet and peaceful. It has also a lot of books about different topics. This library is also convenient in terms of transportation.

It’s always a great experience at the library… staff is super nice and very helpful

This afternoon in Roselle Park Veterans Memorial Library I was talking to the Supervisor or some dope that runs that library about the current problems with the computers. She has all this money to place bird house figures on the property yet when it comes to fixing the computers servers and hiring a internet technicial she is loss for words...waste of 90K a year for the RP Taxpayers...

nice quiet place to just sit and enjoy a book. Staff very friendly.

Quiet safe

We've reached out several times seeking support for an event we’re hosting at Mill Hill Park on August 2, 2025 — the International Overdose Awareness Unity Event in the 609 — and have yet to receive a response. This day holds deep meaning for our community. It's a time to mourn those we’ve lost, and uplift those we are still loving and supporting. It’s especially disappointing given that this is the first event of its kind in the city, and we’ve made consistent efforts to engage the Downtown Trenton Association — through calls and emails — but our outreach seems to go unanswered, and at times even feels like a nuisance. We’ve done meaningful work in the downtown area, and this is not the first time we’ve struggled to get support from an organization that previously encouraged us to reach out when planning community events. The silo mentality in the 609 is real, and it’s one of the reasons our city continues to face the challenges it does. We know we’re stronger together — and collaboration, especially on something as vital as overdose awareness, should never be this hard

A very helpful resource for businesses in the Downtown Trenton Area

Beautiful theater in an old church. In addition to plays, they often participate in Mill Hill and community events from Art All Day to First Fridays to the Holiday House Tour. Enjoy walls lined with art and a nice concession stand with wine, coffee, and other beverages and snacks for purchase. Small and intimate. No longer has a vaccine policy, though did enforce mask wearing.

Attended the holiday sing-along and it was great. The guitarist lead the audience in multipart singing while the keyboard player added vital background vamping and the occasional solo.

Amazing little gallery. It be awesome to see renovations done to the outside. They also do plays and theater as well as give classes too!

I'm going in the summer!

Cool venue to see performances. You could see & hear the performers for every seat in the place.

Beautiful.

Stately building with history and a historic feel. Well maintained for a state government cultural asset. ( not sure if it’s a state or county property). The sound and acoustics on the lower level are very very good. Makes the balcony sound feel Inferior. However the art / decor are very pleasing. Chairs very comfy. Weekend parking is a breeze and there is some street parking if you drive around. However, despite me noticing the presence of 3 janitors the restroom directions are not marked clearly. We went to the basement and even tho the rooms were operational the janitor there had them cordoned off and sent us back upstairs. Then it took are a little run around and another janitor literally walked us to one. The restrooms are just fine. However the event we attended had about only 200 people yes the trash was overflowing in the men’s room ! Little embarrassing for a magnanimous place such as this. Worth attending at least one event here. Especially something with music / theatrical.

The establishment was satisfactory. The complimentary parking was a welcome amenity, and the visible police presence contributed to a sense of security. While the staff's demeanor could have been more welcoming, it is understood that this is Trenton.

The theater is antique and very lovely. The lighting inside the theatre was very impressive. The dim lighting effect is nice for dance competitions. It was cool but not freezing inside the theatre. Some of the seats should be , as they were broken. Overall the seats were soft and comfy. The sound quality was also good - probably because the theatre was designed with sound effects in mind; the music filled the theater in a delightful, crispy way 👏👏 The exterior of the Theatre is very majestic & impressive. We were there on a very rainy, gray day. I'm sure it will stand out even better in the sunlight. Bathrooms were clean. Dressing rooms were also comfortable and spacious.

The Hall has perfect acoustic. All programs are really cultural events for everyone, who wants to add to the vibes of harmony and development

This is a beautiful venue with very comfortable velvet covered theater seats. The acoustics are amazing!

Beautiful venue, stunning architecture and great acoustics. Lacks steady maintenance and has an extremely limited schedule of shows. Great ticket deals for college students and ticket prices are reasonable for all patrons. Parking is also easily accessible downtown and the theatre is also easily accessible in downtown Trenton through 29 or local roads. A great place to stop if visiting Trenton.

I went there for a concert venue, first time at this place. Parking is there, free, limited and poorly organized: took us at least 45 min just to leave the lot. Better of find some street spots. The building itself is not designed to handle music venues, acoustics are awful. And only non alcoholic drinks for sale. Seriously, some open stadium place would work better

I have gone to this church my whole life, had my child Baptised here. We drove 40 mins to try to rejoin my beloved church only to see a Trans flag hanging at the pulpit!!! It is one thing to be accepting it is another to indicate and be blasphemous of Christianity. I am so sad at the state of our Christian churches across the board. Very disappointing. Never going back to this church again, Episcopal churches in general!

To love your neighbors as yourself is amazing and selfless decisions from above and underneath.

A beautiful and historic cathedral with amazing icon artwork. People are very friendly and welcoming.

Warm and welcoming community of believers living the Good News!

I go here 2 times a month. Very nice people.

Wonderful time. Welcoming and pleasant. Large facilities.

Spiritual home... always welcoming!

Great overall Park BUT it's slowly declining in the maintenance area. Swings are all down (except two). Bit of graffiti too. I called about both issues MULTIPLE times. No answer. Hope it doesn't result like most things in Trenton: "Put it up and don't maintain".

I'm 66 yrs old I grew up in this area right on Dickinson St. The park has always been a place for us to celebrate our in, once spring and summer arrives. But now with Meko Green, back in charge of the reunion cookout everything will be great again. She's a wonderful person to be in charge of everything. A very reasonable person and hard working person she gets it done. May God continue to bless her. Thank you Meko Green. I hope you continue to do this again and the fund raising!

5 year old loves all the excitement of different choices, beautiful work. Great park! Seen a porta potty but it was locked.

The playground is nice, it's big with lots to do. My son is 2 and he likes to try and see what he is able to accomplish. There is a Porta potty for a bathroom and the other one got burnt down. I haven't used the picnic area but it looks like a pretty big area and I think I may have seen a grill but I'm not definite.

There's usually a lot of people but on the odd day that there isn't, it's really peaceful and clean place to take your kids, there are plenty trash cans, also there's a pool really close by so in the summer months you can enjoy the water too

Great place kid's loved it the lifeguards are on point a little whistle crazy but I guest there just doing there job so yes it's a good place

The Playground is really great. My son loves it there. In the summer there are baseball games going on right across the bridge. I'd be a little careful around there after dark.

It's okay there's a good play ground and a good basketball court but the place isn't clean if it was clean then I would rate 5 stars

Great renovation within the last few years were amazing. The pool is still there and the basketball courts are good.

Good place to take your little ones to go run and play.

It's a nice park but some people should not be there. It's for children to play

A good park in need of maintance and the potential to be even more beautiful.

Very peaceful. . fire station and cheese steak take out across the street. .

A good place to go for a walk and have a picnic

Very old looking small neighborhood park. All the playground equipment very. When I arrived the grass was or weeds were pretty tall. The basketball court is old and the swings are very old. there is a bench to sit on under a tree in the shade and there's also a trash. There's a total of 5 pieces of playground equipment for the kids to play. But as I mentioned earlier all the equipment is old. It is a park just for local neighborhood people.

There really isn't anything here. A few very sprawled out jungle gyms and an old basketball court. Most of the time the grass is over grown. I live in walking distance so it is fine for us but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

Awesome neighborhood park. Swings, jungle gym, basketball courts and a big field. They built a new jungle gym.

fun time to hang out at night, wish it had not rained

It's a park that's really all there is to it I think there should definitely be a light there though

Well keep community park... Could use a little more things for the kids to do...

Perfect place for a nice relaxing walk.

Great place to bar-b-que . Nice tables and benches. Good place for meditation. Nice ball fields. Good Vibes.

I was having a day that started out with a psychotic snap. All a tizzy, hadnt known who to turn to to ease my mind and thoughts that had not been really pretty. Got in the vehicle and drove over. Can't help but cry EVERY time i sit on that bench. I dont know how he did it without violence. 😔

Had fiberglass In pool and around edges it hurts when you get out

The City of Trenton is just NOT SAFE ANYMORE!

It's cool when u just goin chill in smoke

This place looks like one of those little kept secrets that only the adventurous wander into. A lot of cool trails that lead to different sights. There's even a man made bridge that looks like someone just grabbed a bunch of wood and cords and whatever they could to create a bridge. Someone wrote on a sign nearby "Shakey bridge"

Many Animal, Plants, Flowers and Trees...All in one place.

Many hicking trails 👣

Nice clean park.

Nice

Nice park I have discovered in the city of Trenton one of two, this park offers acess to the river for fishing and if you want to take a walk or jog along the river it's a good environment.

Really pretty place to walk the dogs. There are geese, ducks and a heron hanging around. Needs some love from the city to really shine.

Love walking here, it's changed drastically over the years but I enjoy sitting by the water still and just listening.

Beautiful park

This is a beautiful park. I have visited many times. The park is really big space to bike and walk.

Pond is great for fishing. It gets stocked by the state. Great for kids

Its more of a Par....half court with a small playground that attracts the riff raff of Trenton to loiter.

nice little park

Good

A nice little park for public gatherings. There are bathrooms, a small playground, and many picnic tables. No actual parking lot. You park on the grass. No handicap parking and may be difficult if using a wheelchair.

Great organization.

Great place

Amazing, hidden gem!!! Go around to the back, on Allen St., and get one of the friendly firefighters to let you in & show you around. It is attached to the main Trenton Fire Department headquarters. 👍👍

Do yourself a favor and call before you go. It's not open on the hours posted

Park is nice
