10 Things To Do in Ocean County, New Jersey in Cold February
It is always a challenge in the dead of winter to find things to do for you and the family. February may be the most challenging month because of the weather and the limited "indoor" activities out there.
So I sat down with pen and paper, yes I was writing by hand and came up with ten "indoor" day trips that you can do either solo, with friends, or the entire family. My "ten" are all located right here in Ocean County, at various points throughout Ocean County.

When our kids were young, Avril and I would take the kids on a winter day at the mall. Indoors, warm and dry we would spend hours and yes a few dollars. We would walk, shop, and get some lunch.
