Cherry blossoms are a fleeting kind of magic. For just a few short weeks each spring, these delicate pink and white flowers transform parks and streets into living artwork.

The east coast most well-known cherry blossom event takes place in Washington DC every year in late March into early April. Although this is an amazing event. There are some spectacular trees to be seen right in Newark New Jersey!

Join us for a day tour celebrating spring by learning about these beautiful flowers on tour around Brach Brook Park. Guests will learn about the history of this 3‑mile park—how it began, how it has evolved, and how it has been used over the years.

You will get the insight into the Cherry Blossom trees themselves, including the history of how they were brought from Japan and the cultural significance they have had across various communities. You will of course visit the Cherry Blossom Cove for the best photo opps!

Because the blooms last such a brief time, seeing them feels specially like witnessing a secret moment in nature. Standing beneath cherry blossoms, as petals drift through the air, is an experience that has been referred to as peaceful, romantic and quite unforgettable! On the way back we make as stop at the Liberty Science Center where you get a chance to check out the latest exhibitions along with a planetarium show.
