While the COVID-19 pandemic has closed down the Skylands Stadium and the Miners will not be playing ball anytime soon, the stadium will still host family fun from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

According to officials, the drive-thru experience is educational, fun for all ages and essential for your families' health and well-being. In order to safely drive by farm animals patrons should:

• stay in your car at all times
• bring sliced or baby carrots to toss out the car window to the animals
• do not bring other food and do not pet the animals

The stadium is located at 94 Championship Place and the cost is $20 per carload. Officials are asking that visitors bring the exact amount of cash so there is no need to handle money.

"We invite you to get out of the house, enjoy the drive-thru while maintaining healthy habits," officials said in a statement. "Please be sure to follow the rules, so we can provide an educational activity for you and your family."

More information can be found on their website, social media or by calling 973-383-7644.
