Looking for something that’ll make both the little ones AND dad happy? On June 16, hit Nutley’s Annual Fathers Day Street Fair where they can indulge in festival foods like empanadas, zeppoles and cotton candy. Your little ones will enjoy face painting, pony rides, a petting zoo, kiddie rides, a climbing wall and more. Or, head to the Whippany Railway Museum for Father’s Day Train Rides, where the family can climb aboard a vintage caboose for a 10-mile ride along the Whippanong Trail with the kiddos. After your ride, check out the museum’s collection of historic locomotives, operating model trains and farm tractors. If you’re still looking for a way to celebrate Father’s Day, we found a ton of events around the Garden State.
