Monmouth County Library – Manalapan New Jersey in Monmouth County
Okay so if you are a mom in Monmouth County you are probably rolling your eyes at the idea of your teen going a Monmouth County Library for fun. But hear me out! The Monmouth County Library has an entire series of events at various libraries across Monmouth County. They are just for teenagers and they honestly sound pretty cool.

Do an Escape Room – Long Branch NJ
If you have not heard of the trend, Escape Rooms are essentially giant interactive puzzles. You have one hour to work as a team to find clues, solve riddles, and open locks in order to escape the room. (Don’t worry, you are never actually trapped!) These are such great family fun! The escape room that I linked to is located in Long Branch. This one, in particular, is extremely popular with Monmouth County teens. However, there are tons of escape rooms located in Monmouth County. Each location has its own twist with different themes of rooms. There are locations in Freehold NJ, Red Bank NJ, and more.
