At night the entire pier is lit up with led lighting including a ferris wheel as its centerpiece changing colors every ten seconds. The pier is free to wander but tickets are needed to try the carnival rides. We ate unlimited seafood at the Crab House and had a Titos & soda water in the Tiki Bar.

This is what I was expecting when I stepped off of the boardwalk onto a pier. Something that had a…read moreton of things to do and would keep you busy without feeling like you were being pushed through the area. Yes, I was here near offseason so a lot of the rides were already down for the year. Most of the games and food stalls were also down. However, you can at least go on the wheel if you wanted to. Bypass those people and go to the booth to get your ticket. Even if you do visit when the rides may not be open you are able to at least take a stroll and walk around. This is what I imagine a pier to be off of a boardwalk. Bright lights, activities to do. A place to escape a bit into.

Overall, it's a nice course, but I'm wondering if there might be a few trademark issues.

If I had the ability, I'd probably give Castaway Cove 4 1/2 stars, but since that's not an option I…read morerounded up to 5. I went here my entire life growing up, right up until the day it closed, which was honestly pretty sad. It was one of those places that worked for every age group, but as a kid it was especially magical. The rides felt incredibly fun and, at the time, pretty scary too when you were little. Another great thing about Castaway Cove was its location right on the boardwalk. You could bounce between the rides, the beach, and all the little shops without ever running out of things to do. And of course, you could spend the whole time walking around with funnel cake in hand, which made the experience even better. For me, it's a place tied to a lot of childhood memories. Anyone who grew up going there probably understands exactly what I mean.

We have been going to Castaway Cove for the past 10 years with our grandkids, starting at Age 1 and…read morenow age 11. It is perfect for them at this age range. They have enough diversity in rides that they haven't outgrown it. Our favorite right now is the Rock and Roller! We make the trip to Ocean City from California which gives you a good idea of how much they enjoy it. I think part of the attraction is not only the rides but also the boardwalk (which we bike ride every morning), the beach of course and, where we stay (the Beach Club Hotel) makes it the perfect spot for kids/grandkids of this age.
