Growth HackerFebruary 24, 2016Enjoy adult beverages on Boardwalk property. Must be in a can. Drinking on the beach is not allowed.
Diyana D.July 15, 2016Not really my cup of tea but fun to experience and awesome for cool photos! :-)
- Thomas ZoggasJuly 11, 2014I'm never coming here again on a holiday weekend. The traffic and and the crowds were unbelievable. Be prepared to pay 5 times retail for any food you buy on the Boardwalk.
Fred BachMay 18, 2013Dear God in sweet heaven, the parking is terrible. Took us forty five minutes to find a spot, please think about this in advance.
Ashtyn KarachristosFebruary 13, 2013Pepsi night is cheap and if you are able to handle long lines worth it!
Ride The Giant Dipper. And don't forget to catch a ride on the 100-year old Carousel. The Lost Boys was filmed here.
Go & Have Fun With Friends and Family... Always Worth the Trip!
DO NOT GO ON THE "FIRE BALL". It is traumatic. And this is coming from a roller-coaster enthusiast. 🎢😰🔫
Enjoy the festive holiday train rides happening in December. Such a wonderful family group thing to do! Details at http://beachboardwalk.com/holidaytrains

Nofar CohenSeptember 5, 2013The park isnt open at all times. The arcade is really fun but most machines have issues operating them
Xtel van der BoomJuly 7, 2012Try the Giant Dipper: a roller coaster made of wood, over 100 years old.
Aniyah JonaeJuly 21, 2013Deep fried cheesecake and roasted corn. If you haven't tried them yet... Do it.. . thank me later.
Sue ChoiSeptember 11, 2012Deep fried oreos & twinkies. Don't think too much into it and just try it. SO GOOD.
Parking is a bit of a hassel. Make sure you come with patience trying to find a parking space.
Laura NakanoJuly 1, 2011Summertime special!! Wednesday & Thursday nights after 5:00 pm is unlimited rides for $9.95 + a can of Pepsi!!! :)
Steve GershikNovember 21, 2009Best time to go is early in the season as rides are freshly painted and staff is still energetic and happy.

"Great park. There's a ⚽️ pitch here, rarely occupied, with lots of solid AstroTurf. Not much other than plenty of parking otherwise."

"This river-side walking/biking path (leashed dogs allowed)should be a gem but It's s congregating spot for the drunk, displaced, scream'g homeless off their meds at 2pm. Scared my dog. Not a favorite."
