What You Should Know
One of the most popular attractions of Camden is the city's waterfront, along
the Delaware River. The waterfront is highlighted by it's four main attractions,
the USS New Jersey; the Tweeter Center; Campbell's Field; and the Adventure
Aquarium.
The Adventure Aquarium was orginally opened in 1992 as the New Jersey State
Aquarium at Camden. In 2005 after extensive renovation the aquarium was reopened
under the name Adventure Aquarium. The aquarium was one of the original
centerpieces in Camden's plans for revitalizing their city.
The Tweeter Center is a 25,000 seat open air concert amphitheater that was
opened in 1995. The Tweeter is widely considered one of the best amphitheaters
in the country for sound, and is most well known for it's extremely large lawn
seating area. The Tweeter is the most popular spot for touring artists to
perform during the summertime in the Delaware Valley. The Tweeter is also known
for it's beautiful view of Center City, Philadelphia.
Campbell's Field, opened in 2001, is home the the Camden Riversharks Minor
League Baseball team, of the Atlantic League; and the Rutgers University-Camden
baseball team. The stadium is considered by many ballpark enthusiasts as having
one of the best outfield views in all of baseball, as the entire Ben Franklin
Bridge can be seen beyond its walls.
The USS New Jersey was a United States Navy battleship that was active between
the years 1943 and 1991. After its retirement the ship was turned into a museum
along the Waterfront that opened in 2001. The New Jersey saw action in World War
II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Other attractions at the Waterfront are the Wiggins Park Riverstage and Marina,
One Port Center, The Victor Lofts, the Walt Whitman House, the Walt Whitman
Cultural Arts Center, the Rutgers-Camden Center For The Arts and the Camden
Children's Garden.
The Waterfront is also served by two modes of public transportation. New Jersey
Transit services the Waterfront on it's River LINE, while people from
Phiadelphia can commute using the RiverLink Ferry, which connects the Waterfront
with Old City Philadelphia.
