- Carnival games, including Ring Toss, Ferris Wheel Toss and Can Smash Toss
- Virtual roller coaster experience
- Sensory activities
- Popcorn and cotton candy
- Hot dogs, chips and refreshments
- Plenty of opportunities to have fun, meet new people and connect!
Survey Says… Family Feud Is Back!
One of our favorite activities is returning! Heart to Heart Family Feud was so much fun that we’re bringing it back for the carnival.
Gather your team, get ready to hit the buzzer and see if you can guess the most popular answers.
And this time, we’re playing for cash prizes!
No Family Feud experience required- just bring your competitive spirit and be ready to have some fun!
Everyone Is Welcome
You don’t have to currently receive services from Heart to Heart to attend! The carnival is open to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families throughout Toms River, Ocean County and the surrounding communities. Support Coordinators, caregivers and other professionals are warmly welcome, too.
While you’re here, meet the Heart to Heart team, tour our Toms River Day Program and learn more about the services we provide.
No presentations. No pressure. Just a fun evening together and a chance to get to know our community.
