Bowling? Shoot some pool? You've lived there your entire life and have no idea what to do?

Off the top of my head: hiking, camping, fishing, arcades, aquariums, boardwalks in general, gambling (and sports betting), shopping, theater, movies, concerts, comedy shows, and scenic drives are all readily available, most on a daily basis, and many are free or very cheap.

Wheaton Glass is fun to tour. There's Batsto Village, too.

Do you like beer? There are plenty of craft breweries around South Jersey, it’s fun to stop in, try a flight (sample of 4 beers in four ounce glasses), hang out for a bit.

Some good old disc golf never hurt to try

NJ is a disc golf desert. Looking at CT, NY(s), MA, RI makes me sad. They've got some fucking dope ass courses up there. Closest course from me is like 40 minutes and I'm in NNJ.

Restaurants are famous for birthdays. If neither you or your bf have any ideas to celebrate, try the movies or do whatever it is that you guys enjoy doing together

Happy Birthday!

Why not keep it simple?

Dinner and a movie?

Bowling and pizza?

Dinner in Philly?

Aquarium in Camden?

A hike?

Happy Birthday!

It’s near NYC and Philly. Take an edible and take a tour of a city
