To celebrate the end of summer (well, for the kids anyway) and to do something fun before school starts, I took the kids to Morey’s Piers to spend the day at one of the best New Jersey water parks around. The kids had an absolute blast at the Raging Waters theme park. I love the fact that the place is family-friendly with an abundant amount of activities for a wide range of age groups. That definitely helps when you have both the younger set along with older boys in your group. The bigger kids get to hang out around the “rope swing” and “shotgun falls” area. and the lil’ ones are happy to scamper about at “Camp KidTastrophe” where there are water sprayers and waterguns galore. and for us parents, the “endless river” offers a nice relaxing inner tube ride down a long, lazy waterway. and for lil’ bit of fun, I thought the “Sky Pond Journey”, with it’s 4 elevated pools, was pretty cool. It was also a pleasant surprise to find that the staff were helpful and very friendly. At most amusement parks you find teens just working their summer job with attitudes to spare. But we didn’t encounter that here. It’s all the more reason to make Morey’s Piers a “must-see” on your next family beach vacation. All in all, a great time was had by all.
