New Jersey delivers Garden State weird—giant elephants, massive model trains, and the world’s tallest water sphere. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
