Fall is already flying by fast New Jersey, so you're going to want to make time to check out The Glow: A Jack O'Lantern Experience. It's a great family alternative to some of the spookier Halloween festivities that have cropped up around the Garden State.

I mean, it kept three generations of my family entertained on a Friday night. Here's a quick video of my walk-through with two young kids, my husband and my parents. And yes -- it's dark!  Which means plenty of chances for glow-stick fun.

Still wondering what to expect?  Click through below, to see "10 ways NJ shines during The Glow." You'll recognize some familiar faces and places amid the hand-carved tributes to Jersey Pride! The Glow runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings this October at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport.
