Today is Open Cockpit Day at Teterboro Airport from 10-4pm. (From Mirabest.com :
Explore planes, helicopters and a fire truck. Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum, Teterboro. Adults $7/Children $5. )
I grew up in Hasbrouck Heights the next town over, and thought I’d share some ideas for things to do that aren’t too far away. First of all, the IHOP that is on 111 Route 17 South that is in Hasbrouck Heights has a cool miniature train that rides along the ceiling throughout the restaurant, it is definitely a highlight for my boys.
5 minutes away- For a small fenced in park, you can check out the one that is in the Athletic field in Hasbrouck Heights, with rubber mulch.
10 minutes away- There is also a small one in Woodridge along Valley Blvd, that we haven’t posted yet, but will soon! It is completely fenced. Information below is from theplaygroundguide.com

Stay on 46-E for 2 ½ miles and then take the Wood-ridge/Moonachie ramp and turn right onto Moonachie Ave. Turn right again on Hackensack and then left onto Highland Ave. Proceed on Highland until you hit Valley Blvd and then turn right and you can park right in front of the playground

12 minutes away- If you want to travel to Hackensack that isn’t too far, there is Fairmount Playground, (pictured above) a great school playground that has a castle theme. It is a hidden jewel, and is a lot less crowded than the amazing Van Saun Park.
15 minutes away from Teterboro- Van Saun is our favorite, and the Bergen County website says that train/pony rides/Carousel is open from April-October!!!
Woohoo! It is Spring!!!
