These 5 Events Are Coming Up In Camden County This Weekend

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — Here's a list of upcoming events in Camden County, courtesy of our friends at Visit South Jersey, the official Destination Marketing Organization for Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem counties, and the Outer Coast Plain Wine Region in South Jersey.

Battleship New Jersey in Camden will host an After Hours Engine Room Guided Tour 6 p.m. Thursday night. Join a knowledgeable tour guide in a 90-minute, family friendly, walking tour that takes guests through the five stories of one of Battleship New Jersey’s massive 16″ gun turrets. Visitors will get to stand in the armored gun house where the gun captain oversaw reloading procedures, explore the magazines where 1-ton shells and thousands of powder bags were stored, and pull the triggers in the plotting room where primitive but effective computers aimed the guns over the horizon. This fun for all ages experience includes many hands-on elements that lets guests see and feel what it was like for a World War II crew member to fire the ship’s guns. Tickets are limited and will sell out quickly. For more information, visit https://visitsouthjersey.com/events/evening-guided-tours-turret-ii/.
