New Jersey is cold in the winter so you will have to do something indoors unless it is a winter sport and there won't be much snow in November either. I suggest you go on a tour of some kind using a real tour guide for the atmosphere. You can pick out some really interesting places that you think your friends would like to go and see and then have the tour guide study about them in order to give the best information.

How about finding a dress studio where they have models that come out with all the different dresses on and show them off. Or have a real genuine ladies day out and go to a beauty parlor and get your hair and nails done, even a pedicure.

Most aquariums won't let you swim with the marine life anyway. They'd have to have mega insurance on that place to let you do that but you might find something really cool to do if you go to the Chamber of Commerce in your city/town and go through all the broshures they have there for what is going on in your area. That is their job. Maybe if you are near a lake, you could pay to have someone take you on a boat cruise, even in the cold, as long as their boat is still in the water. Some boats have been pulled out by that time of year in cold states.

You could take a bus ride to a different city and back agai or try finding a restaurant with a real flair for atmosphere, like a Japanese restaurant. They cook the food right in front of you while you watch. That might be fun. There is a cook for each table.

You could find a lot of blow up kiddie water animals. It is still early enough for them to be in the stores, like fish and dolphins, etc. and then rent the pool in your area for a pool party and take all the kiddie animals with you. Then you could swim with the marine life for fun and play pool games. My oldest daughter had a pool party for her 16th birthday. She got real silver dollars and they dived for them in the deep end of the pool for one game.

Whatever you do, I hope you have a happy 16th.
