The New Jersey State Botanical Garden at Skylands

 
The gardens include summer garden, lilac garden, azalea garden, magnolia walk and more. However, as varried as it sounds, it doesn't offer lots of plants. The green spaces at the Skylands are the major part of this botanical garden. It is a nice place to unwind and have a picnic on a lawn. Not all paths are paved, the park might be good for walking in sneakers, but not stroller friendly.

Old Montreal and the Quays of the Old Port


The rich past of the Old Montreal and the Quays of the Old Port can be seen in cobble-stoned streets, European architecture, and historical attractions. The old town is filled with shopping, restaurants and picturesque spots. The Quays have become a recreational and touristic park stretching for 1.5 miles. The metropolis itself is home to the Olympic Park, which is one of the city's most popular attractions with magnificant Botanical Garden near by, considered one of the largest and most beautiful of its kind. The tower that rises above the Olympic Stadium is the highest inclined tower in the world with a spectacular view of Montreal's skyline.
