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.
