I just got an email from the Trenton Thunder, and they are running a promotion all season long. Kids 12 and under will receive a voucher at the gate for 1 free hot dog, 1 bag of chips, and 1 fountain drink. All season long!
The Trenton Thunder is a double A minor league baseball team associated with the NY Yankees, and their stadium is about 30 miles North of Philadelphia up the Delaware River. There is plenty of water most of the way until you get to the stadium, but it gets a little skinny past that. Don't wander north of the county docks, or you'll be sorry. Don't ask how I know this...
The Mercer County (NJ) docks are just a few hundred feet from the main gate, and tickets are $12 for the best seats in the house. It's not that crowded, so you can usually buy tickets at the gate on game day. Food and drink prices are very reasonable as well. There's tons of stuff to keep the kids busy, and they have stuff going on between every inning. THe even have a "bat-dog", that runs out to home plate and retrieves the bats during the game after a hit!
Right next door, also within walking distance, is a restuarant/club called Katmandu. It's pretty lively at night, and maybe not for the kids, but on Sunday mornings they have an awesome brunch buffet.
We went up there a couple of times last summer, and it was great. The docks are clean and there's plenty of room. We were the only boat there both times, on a Sunday afternoon.
With the economy in the state it's in, I think we're going to be spending a lot more time at local places like this. If you see the Annabo docked there this summer, come into the stadium or Katmandu and look for me. I'm the goofy guy with the skipper hat.
