👨👩👧👦 Family Events Tips for Seaside Heights
- •Shore family events cluster activities in short windows (character appearances, contests, crafts) — screenshot the schedule so you're not hunting for a posted flyer with kids in tow.
- •Face painting, balloon, and craft lines are shortest right when the event opens.
- •Pick a visible landmark as a meetup spot when you arrive; boardwalk events get dense enough to lose sight of each other fast.
- •Parking in Seaside Heights: Metered and private lots $1-2/hour. Free street parking in residential areas. Seasonal pricing varies dramatically—peak summer 2-3x higher than September-October.
