We visited Splash Mountain while in OC. Wasn't too expensive to enter. This place is very crowded - I would recommend going when they first open to get a chair anywhere. Most people throw their towels on the chairs and then walk away, taking up every available space. We walked around for about 45 minutes before someone finally took pity on us and gave us one chair (there were 5 of us visiting). The slides and wave pool are very fun and my kids had a blast.

The teens had a good time at the waterpark and go karts. Thought the grounds could have been a little cleaner so be sure to wear water shoes to avoid some of the bird poop. We got there at 10am as soon as it opened and stayed until about 3pm. Good day for the price. They did water park in the morning and their ticket gave them 2 hours at the go kart track. Loved the pool volleyball, it was something we could all do together when they needed a break from the rides. We didn’t do any of the dry rides there, it was way too hot that day.

We always enjoy a stop at Jolly Roger, our favorite being the Swings. Clean, enjoyable park.
Our only complaint is the few rides you get for the price. Instead of 6 points per ride, 1 point per ride would be more of a savings -3 rides x 2 people racks up points on the prepaid card very quickly!
All in all, fun times for all

Children 18months and under that age were charged same amount as other age/older children who could independently ride the rides. Meanwhile they don’t allow little ones of course alone without parents, so if you want your 13-14 month old to ride a little carousel, you get charged double. This place was ran by bunch of rednecks, who seemed completely uninterested in any suggestions parents were giving. It’s a shame because they would rather make double the amount on little ones than to have fair pricing. There should be only charging for parents who have to go with children under two. Will not be going there next year.

Disappointed in my recent visit. Not only was it overpopulated, Jolly Roger did not have enough tubes to accommodate the amount of people they let through the gates. I was there close to 2 hours before I was able to obtain two single tubes by kind individuals. I saw several people arguing with other park attendees hoarding the tubes. Just wow. The area that housed the tubes was filled with deflated tubes. People were actually trying to blow them up using their ‘breath’. At $44 per person you guys need to do better. The park was overfilled and unable to accommodate this large group of people. I don’t know how this facility runs on the weekdays but avoid it at all costs on the weekends.

Half the park was out of service. How can you charge full price and “unlimited” rides when half the rides were out of service? The answer is you CAN, but you SHOULDN’T. Disapponting. Avoid the one on the boardwalk and do the park attached to the water park.

How can they call this an Amusement Park, right off the main drag through Ocean City??!! Since researching "things to do in Ocean City" online, I had started receiving email after email advertising this Amusement Park which I imagined to at least be on the same scale as Six Flags or something similar. NOT!! It seems more like a carnival that you might see in the parking lot of a shopping center occasionally or the County Fair, but under no circumstances would I call this an Amusement Park, which is just downright deceptive, in my opinion. So, if you've never been to Ocean City, don't expect this to be what it sounds like because it ain't!

My wife went here today with a friend and small children including my 8 year old son. They measured him and he was over 48 inches which is correct. After measuring him Aybree the staff member said even though he is tall enough by the measurement for a ride a ride operator may still not let him on a ride which requires him to be 48 inches tall. When my wife explained well he is 48 inches tall she was told it’s up to the right operator and he could still be denied admission to a ride. My wife said if this happens in my able to get a refund for my pass if I purchase it and she said no and too “get the F—- out of my face” I couldn’t spell out what was said on this forum. This was said in front of minor kids including my 8 year old. My wife asked for a supervisor at which time Harper came over and told her there’s nothing he could do about it since he didn’t hear it and he proceeded to stand around and laugh with other staff members while pointing at my wife about it. This is not the place you want your kids. Guess my money will be spent elsewhere in the future since this is how management handles things.

Small crowds make for a good experience here and not much wait time for each track. Ample parking. Attentive staff at the ticket office. Various tracks provide fun for all skill levels from a figure 8 track to a F1 experience requiring a driver's license. There was a small video games area that I did not spend time at. Cost is reasonable and most tracks had dual rider cars.

Unless you are going with your children don't patronize this place, at least for the pier and 30th at locations. It is over priced unless you are buying the armband, which is only good for 4 hours. They raised the price while we were here and failed to update the price list on site as well as on the website. I spent 60 bucks and the two of us only rode 5 rides. Most rides are made for children from 36-48 inches in height. The haunted house left much to be desired offering no real jump scared at all.

If you buy the armband, can you. go between the 30th street and Pier locations? There are rides me and my partner want to try in both parks.

I'm not sure. Great restaurants will be open. It will be spring time and with the weather they will have good treats. They will be getting ready for when school is out so some entertainment might be available. You can try and log on to Ocean City and see what will be available for April. There's a lot to do.
what is the cost for an armband and what can they ride with it

Prices are the same for the 30th street and pier [ boardwalk ] ; Daytime arm band $24.99 and the night time arm band $ 28.99. We will be going down next week and will spend more days at the 30 th street location. This location has a large free parking lot and the younger kids like this better then the pier. There is coupons on the jolly rogers web site. One year we were down over Thanksgiving weekend and they offer halve price on Friday after Thanksgiving. Only draw back is that you have to be there to in person. Last 2 years I was to get 40% off around Christmas time. The send me e mails several times a year on good deals. Both places are always clean. The 30th street location has a free show once nightly and both kids and parents enjoy it.
how much is an arm band and what can you do with it ?
