Family Favorite: Van Saun Park

Van Saun County Park in Paramus, New Jersey, is a cherished 130-acre haven perfect for families - from the Bergen County Zoo to the beloved train and carousel to the playgrounds and seasonal attractions like EGG-Stravaganza Easter Egg Hunt and Let It Glow: A Holiday Lantern Spectacular - there is something for everyone.

It holds special nostalgia for me as a childhood favorite - especially those magical train rides around the park that delighted me then, just as they excite my son now on our visits.​

Right now, catch cherry blossoms at their peak in Washington Spring Garden - a magical spring outing bursting with pink petals, fresh air, and family memories.
