Visit Oradell, New Jersey
Oradell works especially well as a Bergen County day trip because its train station, downtown dining, parks, community theater, wildlife-art museum and Hackensack River history can all be combined without treating the borough as a conventional tourist destination.
Oradell has no conventional in-town hotel district, so overnight visitors generally use nearby Paramus, Teaneck, Hackensack or other central Bergen County lodging.
