Itinerary

Discover the enchanting neighborhood of Cliffside Park, New Jersey, where the iconic home of Josh from Big is situated. Uncover the exact address of Josh's house on this charming street. While the road exudes a serene and rural atmosphere in the film, it's important to note that it's a bustling neighborhood thoroughfare with heavy traffic, creating a bit of a challenge for capturing photos, especially during rush hour. Embrace the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Josh and his friend as they strolled down this picturesque street.

Explore the timeless charm of Anderson Avenue. As a featured spot on numerous movie websites, this neighborhood retains its authenticity, allowing you to effortlessly connect it with the scene captured on screen. The building on Anderson Avenue continues to house a convenience store, offering a glimpse into the enduring nature of this film location. Despite subtle updates to doors and windows, the distinctive brickwork has stood the test of time, preserving the nostalgic ambiance of Big.

Stroll just a few blocks away from Josh and Billy's homes. The journey to this classic filming location becomes a delightful exploration of the neighborhood's charm. As you navigate the schoolyard where Josh and Billy play ball, you may notice a subtle transformation. The school, in a forward-looking move, added a new wing in 2000, enhancing its facilities. In 2015, the wing was dedicated to the esteemed former superintendent, James P. Colagreco, leaving an indelible mark on the school's history. While the schoolyard may have undergone changes, the essence of the scenes captured in Big remains intact. Identify the boundary where the old school once stood, allowing you to pinpoint the location of memorable moments from the film.
