Kids Cove
2027 Kids Cove schedule coming soon! Check out all the fun we had last year below:
“I SPY” Scavenger Hunt
Located on Sandy Hook, the NJ Sea Grant Consortium conducts marine science research and education. Little skippers can participate in a nautical version of “I Spy Scavenger Hunt” at the show and those skippers that successfully complete their watch can visit the NJSGC exhibit for a take home marine science craft.

Face Painting
Face Painting is back! Artists from Lori’s Facepainting will be in the Kids Cove on Saturday 12-4 and Sunday 12-3 to paint your child’s face with a fun design. Don’t forget to snap a selfie and use hashtag #JerseyBoatExpo!

Kids Crafts
Set sail for creativity! Kids will be able to decorate their own wooden fish ornament, scratch an under-the-sea bookmark, or both! Have fun making nautical masterpieces to take home.

Turtle Tank
Kids will be able to get a glimpse of some real turtles! What do they eat? Where do they live? Take a peek in the tank and learn all about these sea creatures from representatives from the NJ Sea Grant Consortium.
