Chol Hamoed trip map - Please help expand.

[YYbochur]

Last pesach, in an attempt to end the bi-annual chol hamoed trip debacle,
I created this - https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1OoaQb947MptLOiX-mpk6jpMIkOIxzt1e&shorturl=1&ll=40.79333545600967%2C-74.8815769383811&z=8  The chol hamoed trip map.


It's basically anything I was able to find in the tri-state area, that would potentially work as a day trip.
I'm looking to expand the map, and would appreciate any new places to add.
there appear to be a few threads speaking about trips in the ny/nj area, but I looked through those already.
I'm not making any money off of this, and it's a big help for the oilam. shkoyach.

Located in LI

I feel like its too far from most communities, and there are probably closer petting zoos in nj.
any other ideas?

It's an hour from FR - is that too far for a CH trip? (For some families it may not be)

[YYbochur]

ok, added it, along with the nearby li game farm wildlife park

NJ - Turtle back zoo
NYS (near monsey) Palisades mall (Ice skating, ropes course, dave and busters, escape room, ferris wheel, VR)

bowling/ axe throwing / mini golf  / batting cages / go karting / Ice skating (many locations)

Plus, I guess some people still sat home most of the day viewing an re-viewing the map 

Here are some lists which may include other ideas

Not sure if it's within your target area, but I recently spent a day at the Gettysburg National Military Park and for those that enjoy American history, it's fascinating.

I added it, but it makes me wonder what should be considered the limit distance wise. I dont want to put things are too far from the main communities in NY/NJ.

This is like that Shidduch places Wiki, it becomes a list of places to avoid. If you know of gems, please don’t list them and ruin it for everybody

Never mentioned it before publicly because of the sentiments @AsherO pointed out, but lately it seems to have gotten popular with the Lakewood crowd so since the secret is out...

The amount of people you’ll harm is more than the amount of people you’ll help. Any place on such a list that gets traffic will be mobbed and unpleasant, let’s leave some pleasant options open.

Other historical sites in the area are Thomas Edison National Historical Park and Morristown National Historical Park.  I took my kids to both last CH Sukkos, and we enjoyed quite a bit.  Best part: no crowds.
