Some of the lesser known highlights of New Jersey tourism:

- Hammonton in Atlantic County is known as the blueberry capital of the world.

- Adventure Aquarium in Camden is the only aquarium in the country with hippos.

- New Jersey has 21 wineries producing over 40 different varieties.

- Cowtown Rodeo in Pilesgrove is the longest-running regular Saturday night rodeo in the nation.

- Atlantic City has America's first boardwalk, built in 1870.

- There are over 4,000 scuba diving wreck sites off the New Jersey coast.
