Sesame Place is further than 15 minutes from Princeton - probably about a 40 min drive.

29 minutes according to Google Maps, but it's my daily commute (PA to Princeton) and I'd say 25 is more reasonable. It's a quick trip.

The Howell Living Farm is a nice place to see animals (chickens, horses, cows, pigs) and they have a stream for splashing in:

I'll be attending a conference there this summer, and my mom will be coming along with my 5 year old and infant. What's there for them to do in that area while I attend sessions? It could be museums, playgrounds, a pool, a nice place to walk, etc. We will have a car. Thanks.
