What is a "Bucket List"? A bucket list is simply a list of things you want to do and experience in life. Places to visit, adventures to have, foods to try, or goals to reach. It’s those moments where you say, “I’ve always wanted to do that,” and then actually go do it.

Personally, I do not have an official bucket list, but if I had to say, I would travel to places I'd like to visit. Places in New Jersey, around America, and out of the country.

 

 

Have you ever thought about where you would like to go close to home here in New Jersey? Your "Jersey Bucket List"? There are so many places to go here in the Garden State, but recently Love Exploring put together a list of the best places to visit here in New Jersey.

What Are New Jersey's Top 3 Must-See Travel Destinations?

1. For epic views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty, head to Liberty State Park, a must-visit sight in Jersey City.

2. Visit Cape May, the country's oldest seaside resort, on New Jersey's southern tip. It's a haven for whale-watching, bird-watching, historic architecture, and home to a historic lighthouse you can climb.

3. Join an upbeat two-hour history walking tour of Princeton, a leafy city famous for its Ivy League university and Institute for Advanced Study, where Albert Einstein had an office.

 

If you were going to pick three "must-see" places in New Jersey what 3 spots would you pick?
