Where are you staying?

Are you actually interested in where to go in Newark, or are you flying into EWR and figured this would be a good starting point?

If you're in town for a weekend only, you'll be limited how much you can get done.

Trains from Newark to NYC are frequent and very safe. Either PATH or NJTransit available, depending where in NYC you want to end up.

We're closer to vailsburg. We're flying to EWR. Another family member has a conference around town in Newark but they're not going to be with us, They will be separate. Mom wanted to see Statue if liberty.

So you'll need a way to get from Vailsburg to Newark Penn Station. Plenty of Ubers & light rail if you're willing to walk a bit.

I'd recommend going to Jersey City & Liberty State Park. Can get the ferry from there out to the statue I believe. Also great views of lower Manhattan

Path train from Newark Penn to Hoboken. Take the Jersey City light rail from Hoboken terminal to Liberty State Park.
