New Jersey releases 2005 travel guide

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- From the Liberty Science Center to the conservatory gardens at Duke Farms in Hillsborough to the beautiful and beloved shore, New Jersey is inviting vacationers to check out all it has to offer.
The state has just released its 2005 travel guide, which includes sections on golfing and shopping, from antiquing to boutiques to outlet malls. There is also a list of 101 fun things to do -- including some attractions that most visitors might not associate with New Jersey, like the Cowtown Rodeo in Pilesgrove, where Western-style competitions are held May through September; and 11 locations around the state for skiing -- mostly cross-country but with a few lifts for downhill skiers.
The guide includes accommodations and restaurants along with attractions like lighthouses, museums, parks and wineries, and also suggests itineraries for overnight and three-day getaways.
You can get the guide from the New Jersey Office of Travel & amp; Tourism by calling (800) VISIT-NJ or via the state's tourism Web site at www.visitnj.org.
