The Real American Dream - It's Retailtainment!
Travel Talk with Ed Finn in Association with Destination Cleveland
Saturday, 16 December 2023 - 9 minutes
Kristen Esposito & Stan Kravitz from American Dream
Kristen Esposito and Stan Kravitz called in to tell us all about American Dream “Hi Ed, lovely to be here on Sunshine, we wanted to introduce this really amazing 3.2 million square feet of shopping, dining and attractions… I know how much you Irish love to shop so this is going to be really special for you, we are tax-free for clothing in New Jersey.”. This also includes footwear so you can shop till you drop"
Thrill-Seekers & Family Fun Days
There are a host of attractions with full-scale rollercoasters for every age and thrill-seeking adventurer. American Dream is home to one of the world's largest water parks with a huge wave pool and an indoor snow village with chair-lifts and ski runs – where every day's a snow day! What’s more, it is located on the doorstep of Newark Airport (less than a 20-minute drive) and very close to Manhattan so add on an extra day or two and grab the tax-free bargains and spend time having fun in Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park, DreamWorks Water Park, Big Snow, Sea-life, Legoland Discovery Centre, the Dream Wheel (A huge full-scale Ferris wheel), Angry Birds Mini Golf or The Rink for ice-skating. And, this is all indoors so its weather-proof! This is every kids dream for sure.
Kristen tells us, "not only is it the combination of retail and entertainment, it is weather-proof. It is home to the only indoor ski slope in North America. It is an impressive 16 storeys high and open all year round. In the middle of a snowstorm, the family can head swimming in the heated wave pool".
Stan explained each attraction is done on a standalone basis in terms of admissions in terms of the water park or amusement park and he recommends at least four hours to enjoy each place but with so many other activities and attractions, guests could easily occupy their time over 2-3 days. “We have portals with direct bookings. We have API integrations – anything to make it fast, easy and simple, we are all looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup. The stadium where the World Cup will be played is across the street from American Dream. There is even a tunnel that connects you so you can walk straight to the stadium!
You heard it here first folks, you know where to stay now!
