What travelers are saying
- bob9 contributionsThe Atlantic City boardwalk can present a variety of things to do for both young and old. Various hotels line the board walk, but if you are just there for the day parking is close by in one of the paid lots. Shops line the board walk with practically anything that you can imagine from food, clothing, and of course a wide variety of souveniers. One can rent jet skiis or even take a Helicopter tour ($$$) of the beach front. A Carnival time gaming platform sits directly adjacent to the beach with a few rides for the smaller children. The beach was a little crowded as one might expect during the summer months, but I was able to capture surfers catching a wave during my visit.Written June 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lauren CSan Francisco, CA6 contributionsThis is a pretty easy escape from NYC—NJ transit (Hamilton Station) to the 608 local bus, which drops you off right in front for the Grounds for Sculpture. Round trip from Penn Station, maybe 2 hours? We got the most beautiful fall day and the combination of leaves changing and outdoor sculpture was really enchanting. Every time we took a turn it felt like we were surprised with something that was simply gorgeous. Some of the pieces weren't exactly my personal style but I think there's such a variety, that mixed with the nature, you're gonna love something there. There are two restaurants on the grounds, although Rats was closed on a Monday, which looked like it was torn from a picture book. All-in-all, I think we walked around for about 4 hours, it really keeps giving. I'm surprised I had never heard of this before, it's really a fun day trip from the city. And we left feeling really inspired and wondering why this gem of a spot isn't more well known. I'd highly recommend.Written November 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- dese2Auburn, NY3,635 contributionsWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cape May. Spent part of two days on the city beaches. One day we walked to the beach another we stopped when returning to town. We did have to pay to park along Beach Ave. Access to the beach is easy from the street. There were benches along the walkway, so we were able to change into our beach shoes.
The sand was very soft and clean. We watched the birds along the sand and in the air. Not too busy while we were there but the weather was still pleasant.
We took chairs and towels along.
Lots of shops and restaurants along Beach Ave. if you want that.Written October 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was greeted by a very friendly woman who happened to be our guide for the bobcat, lynx, and foxes. I forget the man's name, but both he and the woman were very nice, informative, and you could tell they love what they do in caring for these gorgeous creatures. I would definitely go back again, in fact, my friend and I will be returning again with her mother! Highly recommend the adults only tour. My only complaint would be with some of the other guests who stayed on one side and didn't give a chance for others who couldn't see, so we waited until we moved on to the bobcat and lynx to take a look at the wolves on the other side.Written December 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- susie w6 contributionsThe RV park is fine but it’s convenient location to ferry and subway make it a fabulous stay. And the Liberty State Park in general is fabulous: great biking!Written November 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Patty MMesa, AZ561 contributionsWe went after Labor Day in late September, so there weren't crowds. We found parking quickly.
We loved how there were benches along the boardwalk so we could sit and just people watch or watch the ocean.
Many of the stores and restaurants were closed as it was considered off season.
The boardwalk was so clean and we loved walking it.Written October 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We only did the rides, but there is a water park and drive through safari. We bought season passes and will be back again.Written September 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JeanieBeanieDDouglassville, PA54 contributionsIt's been years since we were last here and a GREAT little zoo is even better. The animals looked happy, the place was clean and bright and the layout was interesting, with different animals around each curve. My 7 year old liked the big cats and the bears okay, but she liked the free-range guinea fowl that wandered up close, the best. Strange kid. Oh, and she started hopping instead of walking after watching the kangaroos. We grownups especially liked the giraffes and zebras on the large field (like the Serengetti?) which you can view from a high walkway.
There are lots of lovely shady trees for when the sun is intense. The food prices aren't bad. The employees are lovely. And the cost is: Whatever you feel appropriate. Yes, free, donation only. Same with parking - donation only. Highly, highly recommend.Written October 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We brought a cooler with food, but the kids ended up wanting to eat on the boardwalk, and they ended up spending less than $10 for lunch for the 2 kids. They explored the boardwalk, and we ended up going back that night. It is a great place to take a family, and you can determine how much you want to spend. It was one of our most memorable vacations, and one of the least expensive! We are going back next year!Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gina RLanghorne, PA1 contributionWhat a fabulous experience! It was greatly enjoyed by our group. The alpacas are sweet and fun to feed. It was also very educational.

- Caitlin D’AngeloNew Milford, NJ301 contributionsLove wildwood boardwalk, always have. It is becoming extremely expensive. It is still a lot of fun. It’s even nice just to people watch. One thing I noticed this year is the game and shop people were less pushy which was a nice bonus. Make sure to wear good shoes because it’s a very long boardwalk!Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
