The Somerset Patriots of the Double A Eastern League offer an excellent entertainment experience. The Patriots are an affiliate of the NY Yankees. Several NY Yankees have played for the Patriots as they work their way up through the minor league system. Several NY Yankees have also gone through rehab assignments here. The Patriots play inside of TD Bank Ballpark. The team offers many family friendly fun entertainment activities throughout the game. The team’s mascot is Sparkee and he adds a lot to the entertainment value of the game. The team has several theme nights and promotional giveaways every year. Check their schedule online and you will see a great variety of ideas, themes, and giveaways here. The stadium offers an excellent variety of concessions. Not only do they have the classic ballpark foods like burgers and dogs. They also offer pork rolls, veggie burgers, turkey burgers, acai bowls, Mexican food, and a wide variety of national and local craft beers. Concourses around the stadium are wide and roomy. There is a BBQ area along the leftfield lines. Here there are picnic benches from where you can enjoy the game. The team has an excellent team merchandise store that is open during the games. The Patriots' stadium is located near a New Jersey transit station and a shopping center. It costs five dollars to park at the train station and the lot is closest to the stadium. Many people also park at the nearby shopping center and walk to the stadium. You can also take the train to the game. Tickets for games are affordable and can be purchased online or at the stadium. It is easy to have a great time watching the team.
I always end up overspending here with the food and ice cream, but it's a fun experience and place to go for a "local" baseball game. WAY better than going to the Yankees stadium, as the seats are much bigger, easier to walk around the stadium here, and although food is a little expensive for what it is, it's still less than what you would pay at the Yankees stadium. The best part is every seat is a good seat here with decent leg room. Parking is $5 Sparkee and Slider the mascots are always entertaining along with the little freebees they do which I never win, but it's still nice to see others win little prizes here and there. Bill Leary Plumbing/Heating is a big local supporter of this stadium. They host an entertaining evening fireworks at the end of the game. They also replaced my basement furnace - they're awesome!
5 Star Experience! Alyson assisted me in organizing and setting up our event with ease! We hosted a group of 30+ individuals for a fun night. The room we had was plenty large with a grand stand balcony overlooking the field. Our host Jess really made sure we were taken care of. The ordering of the food was simple and easy. Both Alysson and Gavin the catering Manager checked in on us to ensure things went smoothly. I would say the suite and group package is very affordable and we would do this more often, however the food and beverage cost seemed quite steep. The quality seemed higher end for stadium food. Very nice fruit platter. Pulled pork tasted great! Food cost seemed reasonable, it is the beverage side that cost the most money. Overall our experience was 5 stars!
Love this venue. We were here for a private event that accommodated 400 clients very well. Lots of food, and bathrooms are easy to find here. Great family fun and fireworks at the end of the game!
I’ve been coming here for 20 years and it’s a great park. Clean grounds and always feel safe coming and going. Parking is always a challenge on busy nights. Local treasure & wish they would use it for more concerts. I’ll be at a game this season for sure.
The stadium has ALL good seats! The food is good and the staff is welcoming.....We've been bringing kids from my mentoring program for several years. (MbkMentoring) Mr Schaefer and the corporate care program are doing a wonderful job 👏🏾. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍🏾
Such a great place to go, a wonderful experence and a tremendous value. Even if you are not a big Sports fan, it's very worthwhile to go and experience.
First Time Baseball experience. Great place for family to watch Ameeicas game. Somerset Patriots vs New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

This mall is one of the most beautiful malls in New Jersey! It’s such a beautiful spacious clean cute looking mall that feels like your back in the 90’s again. I really loved it here so much. The food court was real massive , like the one at Menlo Park Mall and everyone here is so nice too. I wish i could give this mall 10 stars cause man this mall was gorgeous.
Bridgewater Commons is a premier shopping destination in Central New Jersey, offering a diverse mix of retail, dining, and entertainment options. Conveniently located at 400 Commons Way in Bridgewater, this three-level, fully enclosed mall has been serving the community since its opening in 1988.  Retail Experience: With over 150 stores, Bridgewater Commons caters to a wide range of shopping preferences. Anchored by Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s, the mall features popular retailers such as Apple, Lululemon, Uniqlo, and Sephora . The variety of stores ensures that shoppers can find everything from high-end fashion to everyday essentials.  Dining and Entertainment: The mall’s dining options are equally impressive. The food court offers a selection of quick bites, while sit-down restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and California Pizza Kitchen provide full-service dining experiences. For entertainment, the AMC dine-in theater allows guests to enjoy the latest movies with the convenience of in-seat dining.  The Village at Bridgewater Commons: Adjacent to the main mall is The Village at Bridgewater Commons, an open-air lifestyle center that complements the indoor shopping experience. This area includes additional dining options, boutique shops, and services, enhancing the overall appeal of the complex .  Recent Developments: In recent years, Bridgewater Commons has undergone significant changes to adapt to the evolving retail landscape. The mall was acquired by Pacific Retail Capital Partners in 2023, with plans to revitalize the property into a vibrant mixed-use destination . New additions like the Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão, which opened in June 2024, reflect the mall’s commitment to offering diverse experiences .  Accessibility and Amenities: Bridgewater Commons is easily accessible via major highways and offers ample parking, including a three-story garage. Public transportation options are available through NJ Transit bus routes 65 and 114 . The mall maintains a clean and welcoming environment, with friendly staff and well-maintained facilities .   Conclusion: Bridgewater Commons continues to be a cornerstone of shopping and entertainment in Central New Jersey. Its blend of traditional retail, diverse dining options, and modern amenities make it a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike. As the mall evolves to meet contemporary demands, it remains a testament to enduring quality and community engagement.
Beautiful complex. With pool and basketball court. Plenty of parking plus parking for visitors. Located in front of route 22.
Our favorite “Jersey Mall.” The Macy’s here is well stocked. The store associates are experienced and we typically have very good experiences.
Very nice and big mall with all relevant flagship stores and several specialty shops and a cinema. Decent food options and large food court. However, it has mice which are cute and living beings as well but maybe they should not be where humans eat 😅
Bridgewater Commons is more than just a place to shop — it’s one of my favorite places to walk and unwind. Whether it's freezing outside or too hot to be comfortable, the mall offers a clean, climate-controlled space that’s perfect for strolling, browsing, and grabbing a bite. This three-story mall is always well-kept and has a solid mix of stores like Macy’s, Sephora, Victoria’s Secret, American Eagle, and a fun LEGO Store. It’s a great spot whether you're running errands or just window shopping. Food options are plentiful. The food court includes familiar names like Popeyes, while the mall also features sit-down restaurants like Cheesecake Factory. Just outside, you’ve got more great spots including Maggiano’s Little Italy, CAVA, and Big Chicken by Shaquille O’Neal — which I tried and really enjoyed. Add in the AMC Theater, and you’ve got everything in one spot. Clean, comfortable, and full of energy — Bridgewater Commons is one of the best malls around for both shopping and simply walking around.
The mall is very large and very gives off chill and luxury vibes all around. Most stores are open and gets very busy during the day. Most stores are for the teen groups, not much luxury brands. The food court has plenty to serve and plenty of nice scenery to have while walking throughout the mall.
This is not the biggest mall we've ever been in, but it's a decent sized mall with three separate floors. The one thing I found interesting in it is at the escalator in the middle only goes up to the second floor and not the third floor. For that you would either have to take an escalator or go to one of the other ends of the mall to take an escalator. Bridgewater Commons is pretty busy, both with stores and customers. There is a good variety of stores located throughout the mall. You can also find a food court with a variety of places to eat. #Shoppingmall #bridgewatercommons

It’s a beautiful park, family vibes … you can go to play with your kids, there is a big playground, you can ride your bike, run or walk. It is 7 miles long the track, great to have a good 10K race! A lot of parking spaces, and so much beautiful nature!
This is a good park for bikers and people who love hiking even though it's not a great place to hike. I am sure kids and dogs enjoy their best in this park while adults can grill their whatever and talk a lot about their life. Coming to the best part of this park is a waterfall at the very end of the park just like they say there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Honestly, I loved the cleanliness and seating of this park.
Beautiful park. Did first 5 k here. Nice trails and has a big playground for kids. Nice clean bathrooms located on site too.
Very nice park I’ll definitely go with my family and visit again
Great place for famies and kids. Great for outdoor nature experience. Clean, had a stage for entertainment. Walkways to different areas , like kids Park area with jungle.gyms, swings and so on. Better than a regular local park. You can Cook out here with the fact they provide built.in grilles for BBQ throughout. They have e a brook, so great for seeing birds and air animals..fish and water...and wildlife..so experi3nce it all. Much information provided with maps inside Park Ranger Welcome Center. All and all can be an all day event. STATE PARK. OPEN SUNRISE TO SUNSET. GREAT for dog walking, bicycle trails, and walking trails. A real Gem in Somerset County.
Great park for a walk or picnic, or nature lovers. There are lots of animals.
This park boasts spacious and open meadows, perfect for leisurely strolls or short runs. It also offers numerous pavilions that can be rented for hosting parties.
Beautiful Somerset Coynty park along the Raritan and adjacent to Duke Farm. Great place for a picnic, bike ride, or a hike. Many benches along the Raritan. There are fields, playgrounds, and an amphitheatre. Very well equipped and maintained.

The Sri Venkateswara Temple in Bridgewater is a serene and spiritually uplifting place. The temple’s architecture is beautiful and meticulously designed in traditional style. The deities are adorned with care, and the ambiance promotes peace and devotion. The temple is well-maintained, and the staff is welcoming and helpful. It’s a wonderful space for prayer, cultural events, and community gatherings. Highly recommend visiting!
Beautifully maintained temple with a peaceful ambiance. The vigrahas are divine and truly give a blessed feeling. The temple architecture is impressive. Post darshan, we visited the cafeteria — clean, well-managed with friendly staff. We tried dosa, idli, curd rice, pongal, tamarind rice, and bisi bele bath — all tasted delicious.
We visited this beautiful temple on a Sunday. Its a very well built, well maintained temple. The architecture is beautiful. We stayed for aarti. Theres a counter from where you can get archana items. The idols are very beautiful to look at. Theres a small shivling where you can offer water to baba. The prasad offered was pongal. Very tasty. We purchased laddos and vadas from here. The cafeteria here has a good variety of items on the menu. Overall a very heavenly experience!!
Nice temple to visit, peaceful ambiance, They have cafeteria with South Indian food, Laddu and wada available to purchase which were very nice.
Sri Venkateshwara Temple at Bridgewater is always a deeply spiritual experience. The temple is well-maintained, spacious, and designed to allow visitors to feel at peace as they connect with their faith. The architecture and serene surroundings create a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for prayer and reflection. The priests at the temple are friendly, knowledgeable, and provide detailed guidance during rituals and poojas. They are respectful of individual preferences and ensure that each devotee feels welcomed. Their dedication to the services, from small personal prayers to larger ceremonies, truly adds to the spiritual essence of the temple. In terms of facilities, the temple has a canteen that serves traditional South Indian food, which is simple yet flavorful, giving a true taste of home. The meals are well-prepared and reasonably priced, adding a comforting touch to your visit. The cleanliness and organization of the dining area are commendable. One of the most appreciated features is the ample car parking space, which makes it very convenient for visitors, especially during busy festival times. The parking is well-organized, and there’s enough room even on weekends and during major events. The temple also offers other services like cultural programs, and spiritual counseling, making it a community hub beyond just a place of worship. Overall, Sri Venkateshwara Temple provides a complete experience—spiritually uplifting, culturally enriching, and well-equipped for all its visitors. Definitely worth visiting for anyone looking for a divine experience in a welcoming environment!
Beautiful temple and peaceful one the best temples I visited in usa. Prasadam is very good especially their laddo. Lot of parking space. We visited on Friday evening not so busy. But i head it is very busy on Saturday’s. A must visit temple! Govinda govinda 🙏
Such a pretty and peaceful temple! We went on a Saturday afternoon and there were a lot of people but except the cafe, all other places were not too crowded. The venkateshwara deity in the temple was as beautiful as the one in Tirupati. The temple also has several other deities that are all presented so beautifully. There is plenty of parking available and even the outdoor area of the temple looks gorgeous.
Very well maintained and organized temple. Food quality, service and management is excellent.

Slide 1 of 8
For the family!! A community donated park which is maintained by the bridgewater municipality. Has good obstacles. Ample parking. Has a restroom. Has a picnic grove. No pets tho. See images and videos for further reference.
Excellent place. Kids loved it. It's great if you go with kids of varying ages. There's something for everybody. Some "devices" are present in 2 version, for the little ones and a bigger / more difficult I've got older kids. (Climbing ropes, zip line etc.) The park has lot of trees which is great for sunny days.
It has restrooms. It is huge and you need to be on topnog your kids if you don't want them to get hurt. Does not have anything really different from others playground. There are sand space for kids to play. Some boat shape walking, cling and slide from. Some really fun things for kids. If you are in Piscatway, there is a playground in greenbrook that is big and kids can have fun too.
We love here because it has a nice swing and the place is nice and we can climb on it. We have a lot of fun here. My son said.
A very nice large playground, fenced in! I like that it is next to a municipal building/police. Definitely gives me a sense of peace. So many fun things to do. A pretty big sandbox with some toys already here. Lots to climb, slide, rock, swing, run, crawl. Has a bathroom next to it And a bunch of picnic tables too. Guaranteed fun for all ages.
Wide area to play for kids. My kids enjoyed playing around. It has lot of play options like swing, boat structure, truck etc., also sand area with toys included. Most of the area is covered by trees, which looks nature and breeze even on sunny time. Food not allowed inside park. Restroom are ok (not properly maintained). Aware very few places wood sticks are out that may hurt the kids.
So glad we decided to visit this playground!!! So many cool things for kiddos of ALL ages to enjoy. The playground was full but it didn't feel crowded - there were sections for different levels, activity engagement, and themes. They had lots of climbing structures (wall climbing, net structure, ropes, ladders), obstacle courses (Zipline, monkey bars, tire routes), slides, swings (tire swings, regular swings, and even a full platform swing with bench that the whole family can swing in together)! The younger kiddos had their own enclosed area with a sandpit and mini climbing structures they can safely enjoy. And in the larger play area, there was an amphitheater style seating that can provide you with a 360 view of the park. There are no food or drinks allowed because they want to keep the area clean (which is great!) but there are garbage cans and recycling receptacles outside the park. The different structures had names like (The Bank, Police Station, Theater, etc.). It's theme was a kid city. The bathrooms are outside but we didn't use them so I can't say if they were clean or not. The parking is limited right by the park but people were coming and going frequently enough that there was always one spot available. Our kids enjoyed their time. Definitely coming back again!
The women's bathroom is in unacceptable condition—it's incredibly dirty and lacking a door. There’s no toilet paper, no soap, and no garbage receptacle for sanitary napkins. This is a critical issue that needs immediate attention.

Fun & Games
Slide 1 of 8
This is a great indoor activity with friends and family. Their location has amazing rooms which are quite challenging. We did their "Garage " and it was super fun. Our game master Carrie was super helpful and friendly. Garage- it's quite challenging if you are new and have group of 4 ppl. It's doable if someone has experience before in escape rooms and there are more ppl in the group. Definitely want to try other rooms for the next time. It's very clean, covid friendly and staff is super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place!!
Wonderful experience! We came with the kids for Mother's Day, and the entire family had a blast. The room itself had a lot of nice attention to detail, the puzzles were challenging but not insanely hard, and the story overall was good. Our game master, Kat, was helpful in giving us clues when we got stumped, but she didn't give the game away. Everyone in the family contributed in some way to solving the puzzle. It's a terrific event, and I recommend it for anybody. Staff was helpful, booking was easy. Reasonably priced compared to other escape rooms. We can't wait until they open their second room so we can come back!
Our first time going to an escape room. We will certainly come again. It was a great time. Our game master Liz was excellent, giving us enough assistance to solve the clues on our own. Great place, next time we will be going with another couple. It was nice to not be placed with other people, but it is a little over whelming for just 2. But we still had an awesome experience.
We visited the Escape Room Center tonight as a family of 5 with 1 teenager and 2 younger children (7) and (8). We picked "The Garage" as it seemed to be "less spooky" than others. It was perfect for all of us, even my youngest was able to assist in helping out with the clues!!  I can not say enough good things about the customer service either, from booking to completion it was all smooth sailing. I would really like to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to our gamemaster Katrina (I hope I spelled that right). She was amazing from start to finish!! She made us all feel so comfortable and ready to take on the challenge, including my youngest who was a bit nervous at first. We all got a kick out of your introduction video too, Mr. Brennan!! The facilities were also super clean and felt safe overall during these crazy times. Escape Room Center is definitely family friendly and we will definitely be back soon!! My kids already asked if we could go back tomorrow. Thank you again for a great experience, it was the perfect way to end a busy and chaotic week as a family!!
I have been to the Escape Room Center twice and was completely satisfied on both occasions. The rooms are fantastic, with challenging clues and fun puzzles. I've done two rooms with my family (The Lost Jewel of Zanzibar, Lucky Duck Speakeasy) and have enjoyed both thoroughly. Our game master Tommy was exceptional, and provided just enough hints to help us escape. Highly recommend!
We held a Corporate Team Building event there on November 3rd with 36 people. Phil and his team were very helpful in getting us set up in their open space for a quick staff meeting and then dividing us into 6 teams (we used all 6 rooms). Our group ranged from a few very experienced people to many who had never done an Escape Room. I'm happy to say that all 6 teams escaped their rooms! Everyone had a GREAT time. The location is very nice, easy to find and has a friendly staff. I will be going back to experience a few of the other rooms in the near future.
We had an awesome party at the escap room center! We were at the Lucky Duck Speakeasy room it was cool challenge! The team was very nice and welcoming. The place is nicely designed and have a great party room, clean and has all you need to have your party. Very much recommended! Thanks you!
We had a great time!!! The staff was fun and helpful, and the rooms were really well done!! It's tough but not impossible, which makes it great for a team building event or if you and your friends or family love a good challenge! The only thing I wish was different would be if there were a restaurant or takeout place in the same plaza, so you could make a day or night of it more easily! Definitely worth the trip.
