    Fun rides

    We highly recommend the Ferris wheel. We didn’t really ride many of the other rides because they seemed to be more focused on children but the Ferris wheel is a must because there was a great view of the boardwalk and ocean.

    Lots of Fun for the Kids

    While visiting Ocean City we took the grandkids to Jolly Roger. They have lots of things for kids, no matter how old, to do. During the afternoon there is a water park that you can try. We went in the evening.

    Overrated, overpriced, overlyunnecessary

    This amusement park in Ocean City, MD is perhaps decent family fun, but much of the rides are uninteresting and they are all way overpriced. I actually liked the older amusement park across the street by the boardwalk much better - it has some really...More

    Couldn't it in because of parking

    Tried to go on weekend in season and there was no parking. Literally. So we drove off. Yes, there is only so much space in OC for parking but still, if you can't get a spot at all you're out of luck.

    Awesome time on the raceway

    We were amazed at all the activities offered at Jolly Roger. My 13yr old son thoroughly enjoyed himself at the speedway/karting. There are several well designed, challenging tracks to tryout. I thought the price was also affordable. We purchased 6 rides for $36. Definitely recommend,...More

    Fun for the kids (1 Replies)
    Our mini vacation is approaching quickly. Next week we will be in Ocean city for the first time. We’re trying to make the most our of our time here and I wondered how is the Jolly Roger Amusement Park? It’s blocks from our hotel and seems like we could even walk.. I know Trimpers was mentioned but this is closer and we like the idea of not driving. Also a favorite mini golf? We are also trying to decide between the pirate cruise or Frontierland. So many decisions. Kids are 2 -8 year old boys...More

    Jolly Roger's is great! And it has something for every age including a water park for all ages, rides for all ages, zip lines, go carts, and mini golf. And Planet Maze is right next door for laser tag. The four older children will love that, and mom and dad can play too. They also have mini golf. It's a lot of fun. Jolly Roger's webpage usually has discount coupons on it to save a couple of dollars. As for Frontiertown or the Duckaneer, both are fun, but if you have the baby with you...More
