We didn't do the water park; out time and attention was devoted to the amusement park. Buy the two-hour pass, it will save you money in the long run!! The rides are fun. The most unique is an indoor scrambler where it is dark, then loud metal music is played, with lights popping with the rhythms. Super Storm is a good ride that twirls you in the air. Sadly, Hydrus is just an average coaster. There's bumper cars and other family rides. It's a good alternative for teens who get a bit bored at the beach!

Great night on the off season. We are a family of five with three kids under 8. My kids weren’t too into the rides but there were a few to do. My kids liked the casino pier arcade across from the amusement park. Pro tip- there was a long line for the ticket booth. So go to the reload station, and load up your card or get a new card. The surf card is good for the rides and the arcade. My kids found in the back a claw machine - which is their favorite game- that was paw patrol and the machine was set to always a winner. It was $5. Similar machines play til win at the front were $10 and the prizes weren’t much bigger than our paw patrol and the front prizes were generic turtles/jelly fish. Overall a great night, not too crowded and a light sweatshirt was enough.

my kids had a blast at the water park including my youngest son who was terrified to go on his first waterslide but then ran through the park non stop riding slides until we had to drg him out. The Casino pier we've been coming to since I was 3 in 1973 but there are periods during the 80s when I was a teen and the late 90's -2012 , when I took my kids, that are particularly special to me and I consider the Casino piers heyday. After Hurricane Sandy destroyed the pier they rebuilt and did a good job but its smaller and most of the rides I remember are gone so for me, because I have 3 magical decades of memories there, the pier itself is downgraded from 'very good' to 'good'. Its the water park which I give an excellent that gives brings the overall rating back up to "very good"

Thank you for your rating and review! So glad your son and family had a great time at the waterpark! It is a fun place for all ages! A lot has changed over the years, we have gone through many challenges - but our goal is still to bring family fun to all! We have brought back many ride favorites, and unfortunately during this pandemic, we were not able to bring any new rides to the pier. But we hope we can in the upcoming years! We appreciate the kind words of the waterpark, we strive to be the clean, family fun waterpark! Thank you and see you next summer!

Went to water park yesterday. Overpriced, overcrowded, unruly crowd, uncaring staff, not enough experienced managers. It’s an accident waiting to happen. Creepy young adults hanging in small children s area unsupervised. These adults were permitted to terrorize the little kids. I paid 150 plus 20 more for a small locker for this day. This did not include food or beverage. Save your money, don’t go

I was forced to throw out unopened goldfish upon arrival because there is a no outside food policy. However, this policy is not 100% enforced because I entered the park with water in my bag that the staff did not notice after they took the goldfish, and later on when I returned I actually had boardwalk tacos in my bag which were not confiscated. The staff was not even checking any more than the surface of the bag by poking with a wooden stick. Who knows what people can have at the bottom of their bags. The teenagers at the front have this “too cool to work” attitude which is how I was able to later enter in with outside food. Either enforce the policy all the way, or don’t enforce it at all.
It makes no sense that one would not be allowed to bring outside snacks. I absolutely refuse to pay for overpriced water park food. I had not even intended to eat the goldfish in the park, rather keep them in my bag as a snack for the day. Throwing out unopened packaged food is wasteful and absurd. This left a very bad taste in my mouth and I certainly will not be returning to this park.

I did breakwater beach, fun lazy river and the Nantucket bucket is cool! The slides are pretty good too. The casino pier is GREAT. I love all of their rides but they are leaving their SkyCoaster sitting there for a bit. I want that to be open because its very cool. The arcade and boardwalk is insanely good. I have a beachouse myself here and i love it. I even visit in the off-season! Definitely recommend this place!

The pier is a mini carnival with rides and games. The waterpark is a block away and separate entry. The only connection we had was that instead of getting a deposit back for renting a locker at the waterpark we got coupons for the pier.

Casino Pier is a essential part of the Seaside Heights boardwalk. Casino Pier is filled with games and rides for all ages. This is all steps away from the boardwalk with more fun and food. Casino Pier is a great family attraction in Seaside.

Had a great time! We visited in the off season but it was still great! The boardwalk felt safe and clean (for a boardwalk). Had a great time walking around at night, seeing all the lights. Over all a great visit!

Best Water park in NJ. I just went with my 2 kids, 4 and 7.Tip - get there as soon as it opens 9am. It gets very crowded just before lunch. We stayed for 6 hours and I had to drag the kids home. I will say it was more appropriate for ages 6 and up.. My 4 yr old was too afraid of the huge pirate ship and water activities there, so she was happy with the lazy river.
THere is an awesome giant slide ride like on the boardwalk, but with water. Fantastic. The lazy river is great, you must be in a tube, it gets very crowded, but it moves and is very relaxing. THe 2 hot spas are very small and crowded. The tube slides were great. There are lockers and ample chairs if you get there early. THe food is overpriced, but not bad. If you have kids that like the water, I suggest the all day pass $25, well worth it. There is also the flex pass for $30 for unlimited water park and rides. I will choose that next time we go. Again, toddlers, don't waste your money. 6 and up, fantastic

I was thinking of heading to Casino Pier instead of Ocean City this summer, is it comparable? I have a 15 year old and 4 year old. I like the idea of a beach/boardwalk for younger child and rides/arcade for teen.

Are the carnival games on the boardwalk open in May on the weekends weather permitting?
Written March 17, 2017
Most of our game stands are open during the weekends in May, weather permitting. We cannot comment on the other game stands along the boardwalk outside of Casino Pier - each business has its own operating schedule.
thank you

Is the miniature golf place that overlooked the water park permanently closed?
Written March 6, 2017
If you are referring to Smuggler's Quay Adventure Golf, that overlooks the waterpark and was built last year. It is open and begins opening this weekend, March 11th.
