List of Live Shows in NJ to Take your Kids to This Summer

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…for your kids.

Another school year is over and it's finally summer break.

I remember how excited I would get for summer just so I could be outside every day and play around with my friends.

I also remember how exhausted my poor mother would get when all three of her kids were home for almost three months.

There are so many summer activities you can enroll your kids in to keep them occupied like day camps (sleep away camps if you really want to get rid of them…kidding), music classes, cooking classes, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, library programs, and so many more.

As fun as all of that is, sometimes even the kids need a “break” from learning because even though it’s the summer, those programs are still educational.

Taking your kids to see a live show of their favorite TV, movie, or YouTube character is like you going to a concert to see your favorite artist.

I only have a 13-month-old but when my son saw Mickey Mouse in person for the first time, his excitement made me cry happy tears.

His current obsession is a group on YouTube called Bounce Patrol from Australia and we say it all the time, if they were to ever go on tour here in the States, we would definitely take our son to see them.

Kids love to see their favorite characters come to life.
