Montclair Town Center is the traditional commercial hub of Montclair, running along Bloomfield Avenue for more than a mile from the Glen Ridge border to Mountain Avenue.

Having fallen into disrepair since its heyday during the trolley car era, the town center is currently undergoing a revitalization effort to restore its earlier commercial splendor. For the tourist this means a cornucopia of shopping, antique shops, art galleries, and bookshops.

Antique lovers pop into Ivory Bird Antiques on Bloomfield, Garage Sale on Claremont, and The Montclair Antique Center on Church Street.

Petal lovers will bask in what Montclair has to offer. The Van Vleck Gardens are open between May Day and Halloween every year.
Horticulturists will gasp at the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens during its three-week blooming season beginning in May and ending in June. Gardeners will enjoy the Oakside Garden, a colonial revival garden.

Even if you're not a die-hard gardener or horticulturist, you may still enjoy the Tulip Project, with its 14,000 bulbs distributed and planted throughout the township.

Art galleries and bookshops pepper the town. Peek into the Oyo Gallery of African Art on Bloomfield and The Montclair Book Center on Glenridge.

Yogi Berra, the famous Yankee player, moved to Montclair and built himself a museum on the campus of Montclair State University. The Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center is also adjacent to the minor league baseball field of the same name where The New Jersey Jackals play. Try to catch a game while you're there!

The museum provides unique educational opportunities using sports and games as a learning tool to teach social justice, ethics, and sportsmanship. Children in particular will enjoy a visit, and baseball fans will get a glimpse of the "historic and contemporary role of sports" in America.

The Montclair Art Museum is a place for high art and student art. The museum houses an art school and serves as the town's cultural hub. The home of works by Georgia O'Keefe, Thomas Eakins, and Romare Bearden has recently undergone an expansion and renovation. For the true art history enthusiast, the museum features one of only five specialized art library collections in Jersey with more than 14,000 books.
