A great place to stop by in the area if you’re looking to get a bit of a history lesson. It was very relaxing and open, there was nobody there when we visited. There is no pavement to walk up to the house, so wear sneakers. It could have used some seating too, as there were no benches to be found outside. It’s wide open and a great place to enjoy the peace of nature.

There is something special walking in the footprints of giants. Walking around a brisk December afternoon it is easy to imagine General Washington rallying his troops to the first major victory over British regulars. Thousands of soldiers striding across the frozen fields. The roar of cannons and thunder of hoof beats and musket fire. The now quiet landscape where the history of our nation was changed.

Fun times for both history buffs and not. There was a historical reenactment when we visited where they demonstrated how the muskets were fired. The talk was interesting and the speakers were very knowledgeable. For non history buffs, you can explore the park grounds and walk the trails.

Very beautiful park! Very interesting! No cost to park or enter!

It is a historic park holding important historical facts. Parking was not difficult but directional signs were not sufficient. Still I enjoyed the park while imagining the historic wars.

I was driving by and decided to stop. There were a lot of different groups of people walking or having a picnic. The land is beautiful. The meaning of the land and why it is a massive park made me respect it even more. Had I had a few hours more I would have explored. I will be going back and making a day trip in Princeton.

I have always loved going to Princeton Battlefield State Park. The tiredness of living and working in Central Jersey and the feeling of being overwhelmed with day to day pressures, eases at this beautiful oasis with wide open spaces and rolling greenery. I 💝 this spot for helping me bring back a smile. And a bit of history is always fun. Backing into Institute Woods and the flanked by the Institute of Adv Physics, to be able to learn and relive a bit history is quite the added bonus. And let us not forget the unique Suspension Bridge!

Fun place to visit and hike, lots of beautiful nature.

I been wanting to head that place for the last 3 years and I finally got the chance! It was really cool seeing it! I’m not a big fan of history but stuff like that is interesting!

If you are a hiker or walker this would be a level 1 to level 2. I personally stepped away from the outside trails due to a delay in the last 2 months. I tried to try an easy trail. With the heat, this hit the spot as the trail is woody and therefore alot of trees are around you making the temperature rather cooler than the outside. It was > 100 outside but a cool 85 when in the path which can be anywhere from 1 to 5 miles on the one side all the way up to 10 on the other. I was so glad that during the holiday weekend it was so peaceful and calm. Only complaint: Lack of parking (get there early) and trail makers. Sometimes I had to use my phone as a back because the trails are unmarked. Please note the trails are not cement so it would not be best during rainy or snowy weather.

I took one of their monthly tours yesterday. It was awesome! Both guides were extremely knowledgeable. It was my second time having Kim as one of the guides. He was my guide at another historic museum down the street. He really takes the time to answer your questions! If you do the tour though, I recommend bringing bug spray or wear long sleeves. I definitely will go back again and take my wife next time.

The wife and I took the kids out for an afternoon ride on the trails in the battlefield. What an amazing feeling to be surrounded by all of that history and such gratitude to those who help keep it maintained so we can still enjoy and appreciate it

Princeton Battlefield State Park along Mercer St in Princeton, New Jersey is where American and British troops fought each other in 1777 in the Battle of Princeton during the American Revolutionary War. This beautiful park is tranquil and filled with green open space along with traces of the Revolutionary period still visible. You can see this park while traveling down Mercer St towards the heart of Princeton.

The history is nice, lots of great trails to hike on as well

Very historic. On a busy road. Careful crossing. Field on North Bound side. Gen Mercer is said to have died in the small fenced in area.

Beautiful park. A must visit. Trails, monuments and well kept grounds. Very peaceful and clean.

Submerge in this green spacious NJ historical place, and enjoy of a peaceful walk full of vegetation. If you get lucky! get to see some wild animals. There are trails to make the time in there more exciting. Great place for kids, they get to explore on their own...

Huge park with a deep historic background. Flat trails. Parking can be limited. I highly recommend attending the enactment of the Princeton battle. I attended the one in the winter. There were actors in costume, fake explosive devices but they sounded real, and historians voiced over. It was great fun!

It was great to take a hike and then sit on the battlefield and enjoy the view and think about how this battle happened.

I recently visited Princeton Battlefield Park and was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful natural trails and historic sites. The park also features a unique addition of music and video displays that can be viewed through your phone's camera. It made for an even more enjoyable experience. It's a perfect destination for a weekend outing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape into nature.

The walk around this beautiful field is wonderful, just remembering the fight that took place on this hallowed ground. I looked out to see the memory of these brave and wonderful men risking it all for the chance to be free. By giving their lives they have given us a chance to live ours, the light at the end of their tunnel was freedom and life be damned to give us that opportunity to live it. Pack that musket fix the bayonet and charge into that unknown.

Sad that it is a little run down and the tree looks sick/dying. But, beautiful still and touching history. Happy to see the house/museum is open again!

Princeton Battlefield is beautiful and I salute the hero’s that fought there and sacrificed for our country HOWEVER with that said, it is an absolute disgrace that you can’t even read the plaques or the monuments because they are extremely faded and cracked. Everything describing what happened there is unreadable and this is something I’ve seen ONLY in NEW JERSEY. I’ve traveled all along the east coast to many different battlefields, there’s no signs explaining the trails or scene. It’s a disgrace and whoever is in charge of keeping up with these parks should be ashamed of themselves

Beautiful park, but minimal amount of interpretation of this very historic battlefield. A field map or trail guide would definitely be helpful to know the significance of the sites and monuments there.

Antique and full of fun. But be careful with ticks and mosquitos when you take a walk on the trails.
