A hop over a bridge spanning the Delaware River, state-to-state next-door neighbors Lambertville, NJ<\/a> (in Hunterdon Co.), and New Hope, PA<\/a> (in Bucks), are walk-
\nable sister towns with plenty to offer the whole family.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Play: <\/span>The Bucks County Children’s Museum<\/a> boasts interactive play spaces that let kids design a race car, fly in a simulated hot air balloon ride or go on a dino dig. (500 Union Square Dr., New Hope)<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Ride: <\/span>The steam trains of the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad<\/a> take passengers for vintage rides through the vistas of Bucks County.  (32 W. Bridge St., New Hope)<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Eat:<\/span> Founded by two local teens, Café Blue Moose<\/a> is the nation’s first 100 percent youth-run restaurant. Its French-flare menu has plenty of sandwiches and burgers to please kid patrons. (9 W. Mechanic St., New Hope)<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Time-travel: <\/span>Howell Living History Farm<\/a>, replete with live animals, takes families back to the 1730s, when the area was a rural farm tract. Autumn-fun alert: The farm’s elaborate annual corn maze debuts this month. (70 Woodens Ln., Lambertville)<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Snack: <\/span>The aroma emanating from The Chocolate Box<\/a> is enticing enough to warrant a stop for artisanal candy and unique teas. (39 N. Union St., Lambertville)<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Smell the roses: <\/span>Or the wildflowers, at least, at Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve<\/a>, where you can check out native plants and hike gentle trails through woods and meadows. (1635 River Rd., New Hope)<\/p>\n
