Travelling in Newark with a Rental Car

Not far from here, you can also visit Newark Museum, home to a huge range of great collections and displays. A whole day can easily be spent here, exploring large art galleries, science displays, or even the planetarium, perfect for the whole family.

While not famous for the outdoors, Newark does have lots of great outdoor attractions and open spaces to visit. To spend some time away from the busy city streets, jump in your hire car and head just north of the city centre to a favourite spot for locals, Branch Brook Park. Covering a huge area, and containing long scenic walking paths, lakes, streams and cherry trees, the park is a great place for a walk or picnic.

Further north, outside of Newark, near the city of Paterson, you can visit one of the famous sights in the area, the Great Falls.
