In addition to offering the premier beachfront hotel in Wildwood Crest, NJ, we make it easy to enjoy your time with family.
Check out our list of five of the best family-friendly things to do in Wildwood.
1. Have Fun in the Sun at a Wildwood Beach
There are five miles of beaches that stretch along North Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest. Here, you’ll find lots of things you can do with your family to celebrate a spring or summer day.
If you want to relax with family, spend the day soaking up the sun or swimming around in the ocean at a Wildwood beach.
Or, those who prefer something more adventurous can surf, boogie-board, fish, and enjoy other beach activities.
There’s also Raging Waters, a beachfront water park located at the end of Mariner’s Pier. Here, kids and adults can access a three-level activity area where they can ride rafts, waterslides, and more.
2. Explore the Attractions and Entertainment on the Wildwood Boardwalk
With 38 blocks of attractions and entertainment, there’s plenty to see and experience with family when you stroll along the Wildwood Boardwalk.
Get behind the wheel and race against family members at the Grand Prix Raceway go-kart track.
If you want to play games and win prizes, stop by Mariner’s Arcade. This Wildwood staple offers games for guests of all ages.
And if some of your family members are history buffs, spend time with them at the Doo Wop Museum, George F. Boyer Historical Museum, or any of the other historical attractions or landmarks just a short walk from the boardwalk.
3. Shop ‘Til You Drop at the Downtown Wildwood Farmers Market
If your family enjoys shopping locally, you’re sure to love the Downtown Wildwood Farmers Market.
This market hosts more than 70 vendors that sell a wide range of produce, plants, and flowers, including many organic offerings.
Along with these, local bakers offer mouthwatering cakes, pies, sticky buns, muffins, and many other sweet treats to satisfy your sweet tooth.
You and your family can also sample and buy hot sauce, pickles, jerky, and other specialty items.
The Downtown Wildwood Farmers Market is seasonal, running every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in summertime. We recommend checking the market’s website before you go.
4. Tour Wildwood in a Tram Car
Explore the Wildwood Boardwalk with your family from the comfort of a Sightseer Tram Car.
Since 1949, the Tram Car has offered boardwalk tours that allow you to see the entire two-mile boardwalk in about 30 minutes.
Tram Car tours begin daily and typically go until the boardwalk’s amusement piers close.
You can book a one-way Tram Car tour to enjoy a quick trip around the boardwalk with your family.
If you and your family plan to spend the day at the boardwalk, buying a “hop on/hop off” wristband may be the best option, since you’ll be able to ride the Tram Car whenever you choose.
The Tram Car is generally available starting in May and remains accessible throughout the summer.
