Reviewed By Dan G

Fantastic Beach to visit with a family of young children. It's clean and the boardwalk offers plenty of attractions. There is a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, games, arcades, mini golf, and tons of shops. Stop by 3 Brothers from Italy for great food. Just a great place to visit.

Reviewed By Amy L - Brick, NJ

What a wonderful experience! We took our 5 and 2 year old girls, who had a blast! Arrive early so that you can enjoy the free kid tatoos and check out the area. The children are separated from the adults on the boat and engaged in an adventure then entire trip. The adults were able to sit back and relax for an hour, it was wonderful!! I would HIGHLY recommend taking the last trip for the day... so you can also enjoy the sunset :) And don't forget to wear your Pirate Gear!!

Myself and friends went for the coaster event they had going on. Wish they would include unlimited rides on their extreme rides like moreys does, but nonetheless it was still a great time. The new coaster " Hydrus " is short and sweet, packs a punch and a lot of hang time. All the staff were friendly and the whole gang had a blast. The new Ferris wheel looks amazing. Great views and stunning light package at night
Thanks for a fun filled day.
