how soon we forget. we should all have plans to go to yerushalayim ir hakodesh. our true home…
I agree with #1, would you get up from Shiva and start partying? There are so many Tzoros in Klal Yisroel, perhaps we should modify our summer plans
summer is more than half over ,dont get this ?
For great rates @ Hertz checkout http://www.Kollelbudget.com/hertz and http://www.bit.ly/hertzsavings. Or email [email protected]
You’re right that the summer seems to be half over, but if you read the article it said “For many in Lakewood it begins today.” Bein Hazemin is just starting, and as this is a yeshiva town (although many are not in yeshiva) many people are just starting their vacations now.
what is yhere to do in LAKEWOOD itself.We are on a very tight budge.I know that Golden Fluff has a tour.and there is a petting farm or two .There is rowing on the lakes in town.Any other siggestions???
Can someone post some suggestions for those poor people here? I can’t afford to send my kids to day camp this summer, nor to go to all these places that cost an arm and a leg.
no one is stopping you from getting ona plane and goping to yerusholoyim and thus fulfilling one of the most important taryag mitsvos. we dont live in the age of the vilna gaon – all you need to do is go to the airport, buy an air ticket and you will be there in 12 hours. that is the way to help bring the moshiach
I think that most of us would love to go on such a trip! but most of us also can’t afford to fly off to eretz yisroel.
Hi. I am staying home that’s my best vacation

Poshut peshat is that vacation means a setback a stop and drop of eveything that your in the middle of doing. The torah is not something you could drop and take vacatiom its vehogisau yomeme veloyla so whne a beni yeshiva goes on vacation he takes along his gemora
There are plenty of free or inexpensive places to go with you and your kids. You can go to Popcorn Park Zoo. Its inexpensive for a zoo. You wont be there all day but you could spend about an hour and a half there. Take into account gas and if you take the parkway, tolls. There is the Cape May Zoo which is free but its about 2 hours from lakewood which means gas money and tolls. County parks are free. Spend some time outdoors. Have a picnic. Play ball. Rent a boat and go boating. Go fruit picking at a u pick farm. Longstreet farm in Holmdel is free. Dorbrook recreation area in Colts Neck is free. They have a big playground and other play areas for children. There are many more inexpensive places to go.
GO TO CHUCY CHEES ITS NOT SO MUCH MONEY EVERYONE GOES THERE
music that matters is the best! we had him for our party & everyone loved it!
All the lakewood parks are beautiful.
Pine park offers tennis courts, paddleball, and hiking paths. basketball and baseball as well.
Ocean county park offers many paths and baseball.
Lake Shanadoa offers trails and soccer as well as rowing and fishing.
All parks offer swings and play areas, as well as places for pickiniks and bbqus.
doorbrook is not approriate in the summer
חכם עיניו בראשו
spring and full its a real nice place
just a heads up
I have 1 extra ticket available to Hurricane Harbor (boys night is tonight 7:30 pm – 11:30 pm). $35, first come first serve. Interested? Email me at [email protected] I can come to you or meet you at the park. cash only please.
To #17
It’s fine for a woman to go with her children. Not for frum men.
to those with little kids for about $20 you can rent a ride from traveling tykes
Manasquan Resevoir has 2 parts to it. The Recreation area which features kayak rentals and a nice childrens park, not to mention nice scenery.
There is also The Manasquan Resevoir Enviromental Center which has a lot of things which are fun for kids. It is completely free and my kids love it. There is a 45 minute boat ride which costs $4 a person.
Atlantic Farms is a nice petting farm costs $2 admission per person and you can feed the animals carrots.
If you want to travel to the bronx zoo, on Wednesday, it is FREE ADMISSION! Much better choice than the cape may zoo if you’re gonna travel. And if your ez-pass is registered with CARPOOL (just call ez-pass and tell them that you want to register) go to the cash/ez pass lane, and tell the toll guy “carpool” you just pay 2 bucks for the bridge. II took my kids last week. The zoo will be crowded no doubt, but it is a beautiful zoo, with loads of animals, indoor and outdoor. Of course there are extra attractions to see and that is not free, but there is so much to see, you don’t need to do that stuff. It’s literally 10 minutes over the GW bridge. Totally worth going to. Leave early, zoo closes at 5:00.
maybe you can all learn how to spell, over the summer break!!!
Try this its free and Fun .You can swap houses with your neighbor or relative in Lakewood you feel as of your away with the convinience of still being in town without traveling kids and adults enjoy it.
We go to the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. Kids could spend almost a whole day there, just make sure you go on a day that they have the puppet show.
Lake George, Vermont, Lehigh Valley PA…………………..Get in the car what are you waiting for ? Everyone needs a break Enjoy
# 25 mentioned Please Touch Museum – it is a great museum but can be pricey if you have a big family. A colleague of mine mentioned that she got a Philadelphia city pass for $100 and she was able to take her family to a couple of attractions in Philadelphia such as the zoo, museums, etc. under the pass. If you are interested you can google Philadelphia city pass. Have a safe and happy summer.
To #27: I checked out the City Pass, and it costs $39 for each kid and $59 for each adult. It’s only a good idea if you want to spend a lot of time in Philly. By the way, if you have triple a you get a discount on admission by the Please Touch Museum and the Camden Aquarium (by Please Touch it’s $12.50 per person).
#12
Who told you these BRILLIANT IDEAS!!! If you only knew a little history, you would have known that many Gedolim went on”DATCHA” aka vacation & resort towns in the summer month.So before you hack a tchainik about things you dont have a clue about get your facts together! And get a better sense of reality too. Would be healthy for you. Wishing you an enjoyable & relaxing vacation & a ksiva vachasima tova!
#29
Yes, however the Gedolim also took along their Gemora. #12 is being a bit childish but his last words have some merit to them.
No one says that when ppl go on vacation they’re not bringing along their gemoras. This is the most ridiculous conversation I ever saw!
Stay home.

To all of you who lambast vacationing “right after Tisha B’Av”:
Enough already, you hypocrites! Your holier-than-thou attitudes makes me puke! What is your idea of “kosher vacationing”; going on the Internet??? You guys must be a bunch of Chaim-ites; droids;robots;grungy shleppers. I feel bad for your families: “Tatty, where are we going today? It’s the summer! Can we have a nice family trip?” “No, Berel! If you want you can run around the house a few times! If you want to go somewhere, I will allow you to take out the garbage. But you have to come in right away! I need to know where you are so I can continue posting comments on the Internet. Oh, what is the Internet? It’s a kosher getaway for Tatties.”
#34 well said
yes alot of people take children to chucky chesse,ITS WRONG! its a traif fast food establishment ,its not a place to take our kindelach the stench of the tarfus is overwhelming
Chucky cheese stinks from treif pizza and pepperoni. How can a yid walk into the place?
for those on a tight budget there are a lot of “picking farms” i don’t know what is in season, but try googling or funnj.com
DOUGIE’S BBQ in Deal, NJ. An affordable fleishig restaurant that the whole family will love and the kids can even draw on the tables.
I dont want to see you at the Freehold mall, Walmart, Target or shoprite. All those places cook and sell non kosher food that has a smell. How could you go into Walmart when there is a mcdonalds there? Oh, the humanity

For the doomsayers of which there seems to be an abundance thereof, it says Ivdu es HaShem b’Simcha! It’s not just you, ok? It’s your whole family, the grownups and the kids whom YOU CHOSE to be entrusted with. Smile! HaShem said so!
You need to keep your eyes where you’re supposed to keep them, looking where you’re supposed to look. The world won’t disappear just because of some people who have lopsided vision. You and NO ONE ELSE are responsible for what you say and see. Watch your eyes and watch your mouf.
The canadian side of niagara fall is much more exciting in my opinion.
there is the maid of the mist which is a boat that goes very close to the falls. On Clifton Hill thers alot to do including haunted houses, guinness world record museum, wax museum etc. u cant get bored overthere! thers also a sky line tower not so far.
There are NO Kosher supermarket in Niagara Falls, however products with a Kosher certification may be found in any supermarket. Kosher certifications that may be found in our area are: OU, COR, OK, MK
