See
There really isn't much to see in Woodbridge besides a few small historical things. A major part of Woodbridge is the mall. Because New Jersey is a sales tax free state, people from the surrounding states come here to shop. The mall has a huge variety of stores and also quite a few department stores.
Do
There isn't much to do in Woodbridge. The teenagers that live there mostly hang out at the mall. So the mall is the most popular place.
Buy
