Small amusement park. Rides for young children however the ticket prices didn’t quite match the amount of time per ride. Inconsistent on that was a bit disappointing. No music on the carousel ride. For the 50 or so tickets we had the kids had fun, but we’re ready to go.

Smile and laugh again as you try to win a prize, scream on a ride, or watch your friends and loved ones enjoy the pleasures of the Steel Pier. There is a helicopter ride at the end of the pier - super fun! There is also a cage that is sling shotted into the air! What a feeling!!! Whatever you choose to do....just do it! You will love the memories.

We did a city tour with Steel Pier Helicopters. The tour was so much fun. We went over the entire city, bay, and ocean. The tour was about 6-7 minutes. We have been on several helicopter tours all over. This is a very bumpy ride being over the ocean but they have a brand new modern R44 helicopter with a glass cockpit. You are in good hands!

Good old-fashioned games & rides. Took me back to when I was a child and would go to the local and state fairs. Not for the faint of heart as it can be quite overwhelming and loud for some people and children. There is a beautiful ferris wheel. If you want some "nostalgia" then this is the place for you!

I can never visit the Atlantic City Boardwalk without stopping by the pier! I have been going since I was a child and now my children enjoy it. There are your typical carnival/fair rides and attractions, foods and it is all overlooking the Atlantic ocean. You can purchase tickets for all the rides.They also have a helicopter ride and a slingshot which I would never have the guts to try lol. Those cost extra. We can't wait to visit again!

Went there on a Saturday night. Was way overcrowded. No one was wearing masks. Pier was clean and rides appeared well taken care of. Wish I could say the same for the large crowd that was there. Would definitely go back during a weekday to enjoy the pier more.

The Steel Pier Amusement Park is an Atlantic City Tradition. The colorful Ferris wheel lights up the boardwalk.

Thank god Steel Pier exists, as there is not much else for the kids to do in Atlantic City. They have a good mix of rides for little kids and many "thrill" rides. My son loves the little bumper cars that he is able to drive alone. One thing that throws me off is the height requirements. They seem quite high. Many rides that my son can ride in nearby Ocean City, he is not tall enough to ride at Steel Pier. We bought a groupon Voucher for 80 tickets for 30$ and we had enough tickets for multiple rides over 2 different trips and we still have a few left over!

That sums it up. They say masks are required and even sold at the entrance. Wearing them is not enforced. Way too many people crowded into a tired, scummy place. So ghetto

Great variety of rides for kids. The rides on the Pier use the ticket system and charge 3 to 7 tickets per ride. It was $60 for 80 tickets when we were there (Aug 2014).

Hello. The steel pier is open from April to October. I believe that it's only open during the weekend in early April and late October, you can check their website to confirm their schedule. When I was there in June, the observation wheel was under construction and the opening is planned for mid-August.

Is Steel Pier directly off of the Boardwalk? For example, can I go walk up and down the Boardwalk and go to Steel Pier, or do I have to walk a ways away from the Boardwalk? Also where is the best place to park to get to Steel Pier and a nice walk on the Boardwalk.
TIA

There is no fee to enter the park. Rides are charged per ticket and tickets are 1 dollar each. Most rides are 4-5 tickets but a couple are 7. Buy the groupon online and take your family on Tuesdays when rides are half the ticket cost. This special ends at 5:00pm on Tuesdays. Not sure how late they are open but I'm sure they have later hours.

Steel Pier is open ever Saturday & Sunday 12 noon. Memorial Day Weekend Hours are Friday 4pm, Saturday, Sunday & Monday 12noon.
We currently have room packages with Resorts they are steps away from the pier and we also have packages with Atlantic City hotels, ext 228-28 and type in the word Thrills it will direct you to see what is happening at the pier.
Have a great summer season, hope to see you at the pier.

Regarding your question about a hotel being close to the boardwalk in Atlantic City, You did not give the name of the hotel. There are 8-10 hotels (with casinos) right on the Boardwalk, and at this time of year, you can get killer deals (try travelzoo and/or groupon, both are online.) for under $70/night. (plus the silly taxes of 14% and usually a $10 per day "fee") (which covers parking in a covered garage) Harrahs and Borgata are on the Marina - meaning they are not on the Boardwalk, but about a 4 mile drive away. They do have shuttles, though. So, if you tell me the name of the hotel, I will be happy to be more specific.
