Start your morning with a bit of browsing. New Meadowlands Market is New Jersey's most iconic outdoor flea market. See hundreds of vendors and their unique wares and merchandise every Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm. Since 1991, shoppers have been exploring the New Meadowlands Market for antiques, curious finds, and delicious food they can't find anywhere. Spend a few hours haggling with vendors, ordering tasty treats, and enjoying the free games and entertainment. Best of all, it's a choose-your-own-adventure event. Admission and parking are free, so you can spend as little or as much as you want.

Once you've wandered through the market, head to Dream Wheel New Jersey in the American Dream Mall. You can sit back and enjoy a 30-minute ride with views of the market, the city, and the New York Skyline from hundreds of feet in the air while relaxing in a climate-controlled gondola.

Next, head to the tracks at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment. Horse racing fans can watch the races and enjoy the crowd's excitement. All visitors will also love the festivals and events scheduled every weekend at Meadowlands. Come out early for a festive morning, or swing by in the evening to enjoy the planned celebrations.

Want to explore New City in closer detail? Cross the river and enjoy a self-led tour or sign up for a free walking tour that takes you past all your favorite New York City sights! See the city with an in-depth tour of Grand Central Terminal, find the best attractions in Little Italy, or gawk at New York's famous bridges. Then, once you've seen the sights up close, return to the American Dream Mall to enjoy them again from 300 feet up!
