Stuff to Do in Bergen
County
People considering a move
to Bergen County ask what kinds of things there are to do. A
better question might be, what’s not to do?
Many families pick Bergen County for its excellent schools and
child-friendly communities, but activities exist for people of
all ages and interests. There is something for everyone in this
ideal area of Northern New Jersey.
Bergen County Recreation:
Located just west of New York City, the lush green terrain of
Bergen County offers plenty of ways to stay healthy with outdoor
exercise and recreation in county and state parks. Go for a hike
in the Ramapo Mountain State Forest in Mahwah up north, or stroll
in Palisades Interstate Park for stunning views from those famous
cliffs on the west bank of the Hudson River. For beach lovers,
Bergen County is located within convenient day-trip distance
to the pleasant Jersey shore.
Bergen County Shopping:
Some of the New York Metropolitan Area’s best shopping
can be found in Bergen County, which attracts shoppers throughout
the region. The Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus is the
largest mall in the state, with more than 300 upscale shops and
boutiques. Smaller specialty stores cater to diverse ethnicities,
races and religions, whose presence also creates an incredible
variety of delicious cooking ingredients to sample at local markets.
Bergen County Dining:
In addition to fresh food markets, a wide range of options is
available for those who prefer not to cook at home. Choices range
from fine dining to family-style restaurants and classic delis
for eating on the go. The ethnic diversity of Bergen County ensures
an exciting variety of flavors to enjoy, with American, Asian,
European, and Latin cuisine especially well represented.
Bergen County Sports and Entertainment:
Sports and entertainment fans flock to the Meadowlands Sports
Complex in East Rutherford. The facility houses the new Meadowlands
Stadium, home of the New York Giants and the New York Jets football
teams beginning in 2010, and the Izod Center, an indoor arena
for the New Jersey Nets basketball team. The arena also features
concerts by stars like Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,
and U2.
Bergen County Culture:
Culture thrives at institutions like the Bergen Performing Arts
Center, where top names in ballet and jazz perform, and at the
Bergen Museum of Art & Science. For something educational,
young people will love a visit to the New Jersey Children’s
Museum, or a trip to one of the well-maintained historical sites
that tell the county’s fascinating story. The Aviation
Hall of Fame and Museum of New Jersey at Teterboro Airport makes
a wonderful activity for the whole family.
Bergen County is a place where everyone can live healthy, learn
and have fun.
