Today, we’re traveling to New Jersey’s Branch Brook Park. The park is open throughout the year, but it doesn’t host events throughout the year. Still, it’s always fun to plan your visit so you’re ready. If you’re like me, you’ve got a long list of spots to visit here in New Jersey when the time is right. I can almost guarantee that this park will be high on your list. One of the most ideal times to visit the park is when cherry blossoms in New Jersey are in full bloom in April. But, not everyone can visit in person. Some of you are not local to the park, others know that parking isn’t easy and some prefer to take things in from the comfort of their own home. If that’s you, fear not! You can still take it all in with our mini virtual tour.
