Hi. I'm looking to go away for 2 days with my family, kids ages 2-14. Would like to head out either motza shabbos or Sunday morning and come back Monday night iyh. Any recommendations? Was thinking of Niagara falls but do I need an extra day or I can squeeze it in?

niagara fall is way way way too far for one big t trip. you’d spend all your time driving.

what sort of activities do you enjoy?

Thanks. Thought so...
Nice scenic but not really hiking... or any entertainment for kids to enjoy. Mostly girls...

We just did two days Lancaster/Hershey. It was amazing!
It's only 2.5 hours away from Lakewood so you don't spend all your time driving (we had planned on Niagara but scrapped it because it's a total of 14 hours driving time - crazy!).
Spent the first day in Lancaster (did Cherry Crest farm and some other farm/Amish things) and then headed to Hersheypark for day two.
Everyone loved it. (It helped that the weather was gorgeous and Hershey was empty.)
If amusement parks are not your thing there's plenty to do in Lancaster itself, or if you want an amusement park that's less intense there's dutch wonderland, also in Lancaster. (My kids are on average a little older than yours so we needed a bigger kid place.)

We loved Lancaster. Please check hours of the attractions you would like to do.
Note that Cherry Crest Farm is closed on Sunday. They are usually closed on Mondays too but will be open this Monday, Labor Day
