HOBOKEN, NJ — There's plenty going on around Hoboken in the next week for families. Here are a few nearby activities for the coming week. And see previous roundups, including the Hoboken Fire Museum and an American Dream Mall update here: Hoboken Family Activities: What's Happening This Week? Villiage Tree House Opens; 'Sensory Saturday' Planned Village Tree House opened last week at 119 Monroe St. It's a play space for kids 6 and under. They're open daily and will hold a special "Sensory Saturday" on May 22. The two moms who founded the venue, Marissa and Marisa, write, "Village Tree House is a child recreation facility/play space located in southwest Hoboken, and is dedicated to social, emotional and motor skill development through play. Our passion has always been focused on early childhood education and development as we have a collective 2+ decades working within the Hoboken childcare field. We look forward to experiencing the growth and learning of young children through a different lens, while continuing to offer support to parents." Village Tree House offers open play and private play, and will ultimately offer special events, parties, and classes. Find out more here. And to find out more about another play space, located at a coffee shop uptown (The Hive), see last week's update.

Liberty State Park is a short walk, drive, or light rail trip from Hoboken. The park offers a playground, views of the Hudson River and local ecosystem, nature walks, Caven Point Beach, and historic lectures. You can learn about everything from the Blue Comet Train to immigration to local birds. They've scheduled a horseshoe crab walk this Sunday at 10 a.m., meant for all ages. And a shorebird walk takes place the following Saturday (that one's recommended for ages 5 and up).
