“I'm always impressed with how professional the museum exhibits are whenever I visit. They are changed frequently and always interesting and worth the visit. Our favorite is the planetarium, which is never crowded. That makes parking simple on the weekends, an unexpected treat when traveling to Trenton. Definitely recommended!”

New Jersey State House Museum

Address: 125 W State St, Trenton, NJ 08608, USA

“Excellent tour!!! New Jersey is not my favorite state by a long shot, but the state house is extremely unique and the area is extremely well historically intact, even though it is in dire economic straights. More like one Street, but it's still a cool Street. My one gripe was parking YIKES. It took over 20 minutes for the security gaurd to check us in. Now I understand the times we live in and all, but it was extremely frustrating. We missed the tour because of it and had to wait another 40 minutes. I have been to 18 state/provenical houses across the us and Canada and not once ever had this problem.”

Old Barracks Museum

Address: 101 Barrack St, Trenton, NJ 08608, USA

“Loved it, and so did my three teenage boys. Three different tour guides, dressed in period clothing, enlightened us on what it was like to be a soldier during the Revolutionary War, use medical services from that era, and be a civilian when your hometown was overrun by Hessians. The museum features a wealth of information on the Battle of Trenton, the Second Battle of Trenton, and the French and Indian War. It's a wonderful place to learn about history and teach your reticent, video game-addicted children about the past. Be sure and watch the 10-minute video on the Battle of Trenton. It's well worth your time.”
