This was the best part of our vacation. The crew did an amazing job setting the stage and my son Josh loved it. From the tattoo to meeting real pirates he is still taking about it. He loved defeating pirate Pete and finding real treasure!! Our son is four and had the time of his life.

I visited Shrivers with my husband and family. The whole experience was great. They have tons of different flavors of taffy (I like the peppermint) which you can mix and match as you please. I have had taffy from a bunch of different spots in the US and this definitely tasted fresh. You can even see the taffy being made in the back of the store which is fun to watch. The atmosphere is great and there are fun other types of candy as well - I brought back some fudge for my mom which she liked. Definitely a good stop if you are in the area and craving sugar.

8. Encounters
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 93 reviews
There are 3 attractions at Encounters. First, there is a one of a kind, alien themed mirror maze. There are thousands of reflections, black lights, LED lighting effects, and even a few aliens to greet you along the way. Second, there is a laser maze. It's like in Mission Impossible, you try to avoid the lasers, complete 3 objectives, and escape the space vault in the fastest time possible. Lastly, there is Time Freak, which is a real life whack-a-mole game. You try to hit the lights on the wall as quickly as possible in order to achieve the high score.

The Humane Society of Ocean City is a working animal shelter and vets office, not a typical "attraction". Visitors are welcome. Donations are always appreciated. It's a great place to look for a pet to adopt. Bring the kids. A no kill shelter that even brings in animals from other shelters when space is available to keep them from being put down. A great staff of paid employees and volunteers.
