I can't believe that I watch my daughter enjoy the same rides I did 30 years ago, but that is the case at Gillian's. Some might wonder how you can rate rides that, in some cases, are 35+ years old. When you see the excitement and smiles shared by multiple generations of the same family, then you understand. The ride... More

The rides are definitely slower and milder- thus the family friendly theme of Ocean City. Our children are 11,9, and 6. We were alittle disppointed that no... More

Our family has been coming to Wonderland Pier for many many years and have enjoyed all the rides it has to offer. However, this past weekend; we tried a new ride (located on 2nd story area) I believe called Alien Invasion. I was very disappointed in this ride. I do not feel children at 42 inches should be allowed on... More

Don't expect a Six Flags experience. Amusements are good for younger children. Rides run by clean-cut young teenagers while we were there. Early in the season, so a few rides were not operating. More

The park is small and crowded but the line goes fast. Half price tickets make it a great bargain. I am amazed every time we go, my Grandson has a good time. If you look at all the smiling faces around you, you can't help but notice, no matter where you are from this little park on the boardwalk does... More
