Battleship New Jersey in Camden hosts a 90-minute, knowledgeable, family friendly, walking tour that takes guests through the five stories of one of Battleship New Jersey’s massive 16″ gun turrets at 6 p.m. Friday. 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-2/.

The Ritz Kidz ring in the New Year with another premiere children’s production, “The Amazing Animal Race,” at the Ritz Theatre in Haddon Township.
