Until my recent visit, I hadn't been since I was 8 or 9 years old. Some rides have changed, some…read moreclassics never change. It seems a bit cleaner, and less threatening, though I'd still say some of the patrons are rough around the edges... all in all, there was much more of a family-friendly feel at the Piers than I remember as a kid. Back then, we'd drive from Stone Harbor to OC or Wildwood boardwalks for what I remember as tons of fun. But I grew up, and I'm no longer into rides, cotton candy, money-sucking games, etc. so I'd never visit an amusement park/carnival/boardwalk for myself, but I'll do it for a friend, or my kid. I mention that because this review will be from a mom perspective, as someone there to watch others enjoy, not really a connoisseur of amusements myself. I felt safe on the piers, and like people were out and about to enjoy themselves. People were actively going on rides, or preparing to do so. No one was loitering or trying to cause trouble (as sometimes happened back in the day). I passed a few smartallecks on the boardwalk, screwing the pedestrian flow by making people walk around them, or trying to be looked at, but no one was interested in their foolishness. Didn't seem like many people were under the influence of anything, and I was there past 10pm. Like I said, it really felt like a family ambiance, and I was pleasantly surprised. I got a tip last year from a mom on the beach that Morey's has a 40% off sale in (she said) October. But other reviews say it's December. So I looked last October and saw no sale, and my guess is it changes every year. Advice: sign up for their emails, or check their website between Oct and Dec. The 40% off is really helpful if you visit more than once, and/or have a number of people in your party, and/or like to go on lots of rides. So I missed the sale and had to buy a-la-carte full price, there on the boardwalk. Of course they do a system where it's X number of tickets per ride, designed to confuse drunk and stupid people. Annoying to say the least. Kiddie rides are 3-5 tickets each = $4.50 to $7.50 per person per ride (+ tax). Adult rides were 6-10 tickets each = $9 to $15 pp per ride (+ tax). So you'll wanna do the math for all the peeps in your party, and how many times you want to go, and how much you need for your ride fix. Or don't, and just get drunk and spend hundreds. Whatever. To put it into perspective, Disney passes are $109/pp/day, and you can easily match that here if you don't pay attention. While I definitely want my kid to have fun, there are much bigger priorities in my budget for him, so savings on this kind of entertainment are really worth it, and I will be seeking that sale later this year. For my recent visit, my toddler was able to get 2 rides with parent, and 2 kids only rides, and that was a ball for a first visit. But I know the BEGGING I used to do, so I am just waiting for that next year, lol. We didn't do any games, that is a hard no for me. I lack skills to win anything for my kid, and the prizes don't seem worth the money anyway. I realize there is a thrill in "winning" something, or having it won for you, but eh, it's just not for me. The novelty food, too, just isn't worth it. As a kid we only ever did rides because games and food were never even on my radar. It's also later in the evening/night and not really healthy to eat so late, especially for kids, so again, just not my thing. What else? Oh, parking. We parked on the street with the Wildwood app. It was like $2.50/hour. We ended up needing 2 hours, and were able to pay for just one, and get an alert when our time was running out, so we could just pay from the app, while still enjoying the boardwalk. Very simple. Our car was all safe about a block from the boardwalk, in a well lit spot. I felt safe getting back into the car with a toddler even when dark out, past 10pm. Their toll free number is really unpleasant. It's insultingly cheesy "congratulations you dialed our number, good for you" and designed to be as verbose and circuitous as possible to keep you listening to this nonsense for minutes before a menu comes up. All considered, I recommend Morey's, but advise getting tickets or passes during that 40% off sale! Enjoy, and (nose-pinched voice) "Please watch the tram car!"

When we were planning a visit to my home state, New Jersey, we wanted to go to Wildwood to play Fascination. It is two hours from where we were staying, but we had never been there. So, we looked up the hours, planned our trip, and got there when it was supposed to be open - after 4pm on a Thursday. The place was closed. We lost a whole day of our vacation trying to get to this place, and from what we could see looking in from the outside, the arcade looks more like a storage unit. A total and complete mess. After this unfortunate, eye opening experience, I honestly don't have many kind words for the people who own and run this place. The nicest thing I can say is, they've got a lot of work to do.

It is amazing to me that these upright arcade machines were still working after all these years.
