Where should we go next weekend?

The stars have aligned and DH and I both happen to have next Friday off, so I'd like to plan a getaway for the weekend. We live in central/south (I'm never really sure which it is) NJ. Our kids are 5 and 3. We have traveled nowhere since moving here a year ago except for 1 day trip I took with my parents to Independence Mall. I want to stay within a 3 hour drive. I'm also open to something easily accessible by rail from Trenton Transit Center.

Cape May (although it might be tough to find a place to stay)? Hershey, Lancaster, or the Poconos? I'm actually not sure how far of a drive any of those would be, but I am guessing they are close to the 3-hour range.

My kids are the same age and love Hershey Park. We also have plenty to do in Lancaster. PM me for recs, we live in the area.

There's also the Crayola Factory in Easton.
