Hey, Mom and Dad: summer is coming. Are you ready?
Maybe you see those long, long days as a chance for quality time with the kids, to explore their
growing personalities and get closer as a family.
Or maybe they’re a challenge. How—especially when living in a Rahway apartment—can they
blow off enough steam to sleep soundly and keep you sane?
The truth is probably a bit of both, and luckily your apartment in Rahway, NJ offers plenty of
family-friendly activities nearby. From expanding your mind to letting loose in the great
outdoors, the Rahway area offers something for everyone.

Kidz Village

believe businesses where kids can indulge their imaginations. Food is available, adults get in free,
and yes, they do parties! Open every day.
Monster Mini Golf
1235 West Chestnut St., Union, NJ 07083

aim for animated glow-in- the-dark demons. Enough said!
