Princeton Information

Princeton was founded before the revolution and is probably best known as the location of Princeton University. Although primarily a college town, there’s still so much to do and see in this historic place!

Visiting Princeton University is a must while you’re in town because it is simply breathtaking and has been voted one of the prettiest campuses in the country. Once you see it, you’ll agree! The art museum on campus is also definitely worth a look and has an astonishingly broad election of artifacts and works for its size. Be sure to take a tour of this historic town through the Princeton Tour Company or Princeton Jogging Tours. The Princeton Tour Company also offers a ghost and vampire tour; be prepared to be scared. The McCarter Theater Center offers a beautiful venue and all kinds of performances for your enjoyment. The Terhune Orchards & Winery isn’t just for adults; there are also plenty of activities for the kids, so bring the whole family. Also take the time to see the Princeton Battle Monument and Battlefield State Park. When it’s time to eat, try any one of these places to satisfy your hunger: Blue Point Grill, Seasons 52, Mediterra Restaurant, Argicola Eatery, Witherspoon Grill, Triumph Brewing Company, Teresa’s Caffe Italiano, or PJ’s Pancake House.

Philadelphia is about an hour’s drive South and is another historic city that is worth the trip if you’ve never been. NYC is also about an hour’s drive away but to the North and what isn’t there to love about this city. There’s the theater, shopping, food and all kinds of sights to see. You can definitely make a day out of NYC, but you will probably go back for more than just one day. Of course there is also Atlantic City, which is the setting the prohibition era TV show Boardwalk Empire. You could also grab the family and head to the beach if the weather’s just right!
