The kids had a blast! Definitely geared towards ages 2+, but still fun for the little ones to see all the lights and hear the sounds. I grew up in OCNJ and Wonderland Pier has been the place to be for kids since I was little, so I might have a slightly biased opinion....I love how safe this environment is for families and that, although it is a little pricey, it gives them a great experience while also being close to home and not in an area where people are drinking and being obnoxious. Ocean City never disappoints and I know first hand how much work, money and taxpayer dollars go into ensuring this city provides a safe, fun environment for families in the summer time. We love it!!
This amusement park has been a staple for shore families for decades!
An Ocean City Icon!
My parents brought me here as a child, now I'm bringing my children. Not a very big park, but they have enough for all ages to enjoy an evening out. There's a good amount of parking available within a few block radius (all paid parking of course), however if you're going on a mid-summer Friday or Saturday evening unless you arrive early evening finding a spot to park could be tough. Snack, small food items, beverages and ice cream are available on site. There are restrooms in a bath house outside the small north entrance. Most rides are 4 to 6 tickets, and they go quickly. Classic place for family summer memories at the shore.
Even though the rides have never changed in my lifetime, they feel delightfully consistent rather than old or outdated.
Everything is well maintained, and the atmosphere is friendly and exciting, as an amusement park should be.
I used to come here all the time as a kid, and I still bring the young kids in my life.
I've been going here with the family for many, many years now. And after all these years, there has been a lot of change. Given it isn't as popular as Six Flags Great Adventure, the lines aren't very long which is nice. Being right along the beach on the boardwalk, there are many places to eat nearby. The rides aren't, of course, as good as Six Flags, but they are still fun for many ages. The only major issue is the tickets and prices. The tickets themselves aren't that expensive but once you realize that some rides take like six tickets, it's not very cost effective. It is definitely better than it's competition, Playland's Castaway Cove, for cost but the rides here are also for the younger ages. Overall, if your in the area and you have kids from the ages anywhere between 2 and 13 inclusive, this place is highly recommended. Anywhere from the ages 7 and 16+ inclusive, I would recommend Playland's Castaway Cove instead.
The kids love it and the rides are fun. They even have some new ones this year, which is great. But why is almost every ride 4 tickets or more per person? Plus they charge for an adult to go on a ride with their child, even if they are required to ride because the child doesn't meet the height requirements. I suggest you buy the $100 ticket pack if you're a family of 4 and you plan/need to go on some rides with your kids. Something else worth mentioning... most of the staff now is rather inattentive. Many parents are now strapping their young kids in and out of rides as the attendants just stand by, often chit chatting with their coworkers. Not sure if this is sheer laziness or some kind of liability rule, but it happens quite often now. They also don't seem to mind if kids unstrap themselves and dismount the rides on their own.
