Add some culture with stops at Camden's USS New Jersey, the most decorated battleship in U.S. Navy history and Princeton's War Memorial. Other attractions in the Delaware River Region include Camden Children's Garden, where kids can ride the garden carousel or climb the treehouse and Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, home to 270 outdoor sculptures.
