Schedule of Earthly & Extraterrestrial Events
Blast off aboard the A1 Tour Bus! Buckle up and prepare your tin-foil hats—Martians love a good headgear fashion statement.
Monument Stop: Grover’s Mill, NJ
Gaze upon the historic memorial commemorating the Great Imaginary Martian Invasion of 1938. Snap selfies with the bronze aliens. Extra points if you practice your best “I surrender my planet” face.
Grover’s Mill Coffee Shop
Refuel before the alien pursuit! Sip coffee, grab a snack, and browse their quirky gift shop for souvenirs to impress your fellow humans. The original broadcast of War of the Worlds, digitally enhanced for clarity, will play onboard the bus—so you can practice your panicked screaming in comfort.

As we arrive at Jersey City Gardens, the broadcast concludes—cue dramatic relief. Your guide will hand out coupon books so you can conquer Earthly shopping like a Martian conquering New Jersey. Grab lunch, explore shops, and remember: spaceships may not stick to schedules, so don’t be late back to the loading zone!
