My family loves this park. They have paved trails/sidewalk to ride bikes, skateboards and scooters (saw kids rollerblading too). Here you will find two playground areas, picnic areas with pavilions for rent, wood trails, boat dock, an event gazebo with benches, soccer field, baseball field, outdoor fitness equipment, along with a veteran's cemetery and butterfly garden.

We love coming here. There is a nice walking / bike path with many more trails around. There are a few docks to take in a nice view of the water. There are two play areas with a variety of things for different aged kids. There are also benches and trash cans all over the play areas. The only thing that could be improved would be the restroom availability.

Enjoyed lunch at one of the many picnic tables and then ventured on the great trails and boardwalk along the water. Wonderful day with our dog Sadie, who loved every minute of it. ❤️❤️

I nice place to walk your dog, bring your kids to the play ground, ride bikes, picnic, or just enjoy the outdoors. They recently cleared an enormous portion of their previous wooded area, (more than needed) but we still enjoy our walks there with our pup.

It's a trail walking park. Heavily wooded and runs along a system of streams and rivers. There are some world war one era ruins of a munitions factory. It's much bigger than you would think. We did about 5 miles of walking in 2 hours. Very nice place, would recommend if you're in the area looking for something to do on a nice day.
Max Steinberg — Google review
A Very nice park with lots of space and history too. A drone area(1st time seeing this somwhere), a few large kids playgrounds, horseshoe pits, picnic tables and grills, places to fish and lots more I didn't even have time to explore. Fun for adults and the kids.

There's so much to do at Estelle Manor Park. Today I spent 5 plus hours running on the trails and boardwalk. The mountain bike trails were being used by runners, bicyclists and hikers. Several horse-back riders were on the trails designed for them. During my run I checked out the Bethlehem Loading Company History Trail. That was fascinating! Next week my wife and I may try the orienteering course at the Nature Center. Like I said, so much to do!

Quiet, beautiful place steeped in history!! The wrap-a-round car path is a serene plus. So is the Veterans Cemetery. A must stop if you're in the area. Also, a decent day trip too!
We had a blast. Did the library tasting. It was great information on the local wine and all the staff was great. We loved the cheese and extras. They have a lot of good stuff and treats also. If you are in the area stop in you will love it. They have a lot of events

Visited the winery on a Sunday and they were quite busy hosting a baby shower as well as a parking lot of full guests. Purchased a Sangria pitcher, sweet wine flight, and small plates including a cheese tray and spinach & artichoke dip. Wine flight was never explained to us, just sat down and told which was which. Food was ok. Sangria pitcher was good. They charge a $10 deposit or ID to hold in lieu, which is weird, but I guess people are walking off with it. Staff could have been more helpful and friendly. Good vibes with outdoor patio and a stage where I’m assuming music plays

A wonderful visit. A group of ladies were celebrating a special birthday and we were invited to have cake! Not to mention the wine was very good, as was the South Philly-style charcuterie platter. This is one of our favorite wineries.

I came here yesterday with my best friend to go wine tasting. We were really excited to try a new winery because we never came here before and wanted to try a new winery to do a tasting. The lady seemed very friendly when walking in, but this was the worst wine tasting experience i've ever had. We did the traditional wine tasting and did not even get to sit down and enjoy it, we stood the whole time! On top of that, the lady rushed us. I was not even done with the wine in my glass and she asked if I was done. I felt very uncomfortable. When she rung us up for the wine tasting she asked another co worker if she wanted to do our tasting. They rushed to the back, and I guess the other coworker didn't want to so had to serve us. She made weird faces and did not conversate. She didn't even tell us the name of some wines. This was not worth the money we paid, I am very disappointed. I will never come back again and I will be sure to spread the word.

Love Bellview! So great!
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and great wine.
Been to several events there and always have fun. Actually last night we attended the Macaroons and Wine tasting Galentines event. Had a blast! Only down fall was that God awful drink called chocolate wasted. Please Bellview take that off your drink menu. I bought 3 to share with all 9 of us at the table. Not one person liked it. No one! So instead of chocolate wasted, I was money wasted. ):
But anyway back to my review...besides that one blemish. Everything else was wonderful. ( like it always is!)

I have never been to winery. This is the first time I’m visiting one. They got unique collection of wines. My friends had cold brew and fiesta, both are really authentic, and tastes good. The vast 50 acres of wine yard looks really peaceful, and a good place for portraits. They got some really cool accessories like wine stoppers, wine glasses, key chains etc., stuff with their theme. The prices are affordable.
On the downside the food tastes really bad, I am not sure if that supposed to be that way. They need more parking spots.

Lovely property. We stayed there under Harvest Host and they had plenty of space for us. The wine tasting and meat and cheese plates were reasonably priced and delicious. It was very quiet and we had beautiful views of the vineyard and we were surrounded by trees.

Indoor/ outdoor area was very pleasant, no mood music but at times love music is offered for occasion. Wine flight options were a very nice experience at a reasonable price. While the spinach artichoke dip was delicious we were slightly disappointed that it can with typical tortilla chips vs the home made chips sold separately.

I had a beautiful day here a week ago for my friends birthday! the grounds are kept so pristine and the ambiance was so perfect! There was live music, free grape stomping experience, fantastic wine both in taste, price and quality and all of the staff were extremely friendly! I had a great time here and i would 100% visit again and recommend to friends family and you all! P.S. I recommend the "fiesta" red wine, it is PERFECT for sangria!!! Also, they have wine "on tap" and it is more affordable and you cant get it refilled at a lesser cost when your bring the bottle back !!
The Quarter at Tropicana has a great selection of shops, restaurants, and nightclubs. The casino itself is less than stellar, but the service at Broadway Burger was excellent and Andy the manager was top notch.
This place was awesome and it had a lot of really great restaurants in it. I wish they offered a little bit more for shopping... But For Food/ Atmosphere this place is a complete 5 and a great place for you to take your family to visit in Atlantic City. Definitely worth going in for nightlife... Three floors of really interesting shops and places to get awesome things. The restaurants are the true gem.

The food at Broadway Burger was great. Service was beyond excellent. Andy the manager was top notch. The casino leaves a lot to be desired. Ladies room was DIRTY. Many of the machines are old and in disrepair. Caesars should put less money into its online gambling and more into the physical casino before this is just an empty building. AGAIN, BROADWAY BURGER WAS 5 STAR!!

One of the hidden gems in Atlantic City. Some people don’t know it exists but when they find out they love it as do I. A plethora of shops restaurants and clubs to delight the senses. From carmines to PF CHANGS everything is a world of fun. The Havana theme just adds to the charm. Great for people watching. My only complaint is I wish they had more restaurant options like Popeyes or raisin canes. Still I love visiting here!

Booked a room for two adults & a child for us to arrive at the resort and told that the room booked was a smoking room on a smoking floor. Not only was there no classification of the room prior to booking, I'm charged an extra $92 a night for 4 nights. Why would you put a two- year old on a smoking floor & charge me an extra $400 for the resorts mistake! I was charged about $1200 for 4 nights. RIDICULOUS!

Read reviews and was super excited to go. After driving around for 20mins looking for $$ parking, we finally made it to building. Besides the beautiful main entry and tropical feel, it was not much to write home about. Super pricey, sparse stores. EXTREMELY overpriced Starbucks- 30 for 3 coffees. I mean sure...I get it. Prices are more expensive in these places but seriously. For what we got, that should be a crime. We sipped coffees then left. It's a location you visit to check off you visit/ bucket list and that's it. Nothing more. 3 stars are for the overall tropical feel and ambiance.
The renowned Atlantic City Boardwalk, an iconic oceanfront promenade established in 1870, offers breathtaking coastal views and a diverse array of shops and restaurants. This historic landmark holds great significance in the American consciousness due to its notable influence. Despite its relatively small size of 12 miles, it rivals the popular destination of Las Vegas as a hub for indulgence, despite having far fewer residents.
I went to Atlantic city for my birthday weekend for the first time and it was definitely a good time. The boardwalk has plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, and gift shops to visit or have a drink. There is a small amusement area on the pier with a ferris wheel helicopter tours boardwalk games and small rides for children to enjoy along with an arcade. The bars are patio bars that are ran by their individual Casino's on the boardwalk and are a very good time to hang out at and enjoy a nice beverage. I definitely recommend this boardwalk and Atlantic City Tourist area.

On the east coast this one of more famous beach areas, although it wasn’t bad, but to be honest I’ve had much better experiences on beaches and stuff in the past. It’s not a very clean place it just felt kind of dirty and grimy all the way around. We stayed at a Airbnb and there were flies everywhere it was impossible to sleep. The nice thing however was that the restaurants are pretty good and the sunrise was beautiful. Good for a weekend getaway but not for a vacation.

We visited the boardwalk on a weekday and it was still packed. We enjoyed walking around and trying all the foods on the boardwalk. It was like a fair on the beach. Would definitely go back. Great place to spend the day. Try the fried soft shell crab, it's delicious!

This place has definitely changed since all the new casino resorts in Philadelphia and elsewhere have been built. So sad to see all the closing and how run down everything is.
It's time to rebuild Atlantic City. Maybe rebuild and target resort rentals and simply beach life living. A lot of places need to be demolished. They definitely need public affordable parking.
It's clear that the poverty and struggle is everywhere. But! I still like this place. I really hope that they rethink this whole place and rebuild and do away with casinos and bring family friendly places with good food and entertainment. It's still the beach! Time to restructure this city

This is an open air market place behind the hotels/casinos. There are some great little shops to explore while you are absorbing the breath taking views and get in your calorie decreasing steps. While that may be a liar because the food and drinks were good so don't plan your diet around this trip because it probably won't work.

Took my wife and MIL (Mother-in-law) for a week. It was wonderful. From the Steel Pier to Irene's, to the casinos, the outdoor dining, everything. Wonderful beach weather and great people. A marvelous free show of Wicked at the Kennedy Center. Truthfully, I couldn't ask for a better time. Thank you.

The boardwalk in areas can use an upgrade. But overall a good workout walking from the Tropicana to the Ocean casino as start and stop markers. It's does not have a pictures view of the ocean due to the high dunes.
But there are plenty of eateries, restuarants, small shops and casinos to explore with abundance of seating areas.
There are boarded walkways
and rocky sand trails to the beach. Once passed the dunes plenty of space to set up camp for a beach day.
Lastly, the Steel Pier is a fun place to stop.
Worth Exploring!

Been here a couple of times now with friends and family. Love that you can hop-on-and-off the Atlantic beach while taking a walk along this boardwalk. There are many decently priced parking spots in close proximity of the Boardwalk. We parked at the Broadway lot for $10 (12+ hrs). Hotel and casino entrances are located along the Boardwalk. There are lot of amenities shops as well, including household essentials, in case you decide to extend your stay!!

The Atlantic City Boardwalk dazzles with its vibrant casinos and lively music, setting a picturesque scene for newlyweds to cherish quality time together.

We visited this place in August end, this place was really a happening place. There's a Casino which is worth trying your luck. The boardwalk have vehicle service which charges $4 per person one side. The beach is very close by where you can enjoy the breeze and low tides. We reached around sunset and the reflection of the buildings were really giving a scenic view. usually crowded, people can be seeing enjoying themselves by playing, dancing, reading books. Lifeguards are available till 4:30. Restrooms are available till 9pm and they are very neat and clean. You can easily find roadside parking for $4. there are parking lots nearby which offer 8 hours for $7, better choice if you gonna spend more time on the beach.
Atlantic city is losing it's charm so just go there for beach.

I visited the Atlantic City Boardwalk and was thoroughly impressed by the perfect blend of entertainment and breathtaking views. The iconic boardwalk offers an array of attractions, making it an ideal destination for both locals and tourists.
The Boardwalk is home to a diverse range of shops, casinos, and restaurants, ensuring there's something for everyone.
Strolling along the wooden planks, I couldn't help but appreciate the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. The crashing waves, the vast horizon, and the salty breeze create a mesmerizing backdrop for a leisurely walk. The well-maintained promenade provides a comfortable and safe environment for visitors.
Whether you're into shopping, dining, or simply enjoying the scenery, the Atlantic City Boardwalk has it all.
Overall, the Atlantic City Boardwalk exceeded my expectations, offering a perfect mix of excitement, relaxation, and natural beauty. It's a place where you can create lasting memories with family and friends. If you're in the area, don't miss the chance to experience the charm of this iconic boardwalk!

Not as vibrant and clean as Seaside Heights Boardwalk. I am not fond of the trams because they take space and take away the fun of the “walk” They’re expensive too. This place definitely needs a makeover. This lady’s heel got stuck between the boardwalk’s gap. Good thing she was walking slow or it could’ve turned out differently. Most shops are looking old and displays are dusty. Some shops are closed. It looks depressing. Not much to look at or do. I wouldn’t recommend coming here by yourself at night since it doesn’t feel safe.

I have been coming to Atlantic City for the last 25 years. Every time I visit I try to walk the Boardwalk and no matter what season I always enjoy my time. The Boardwalk pays tribute to its history and there is always an eccentric person to talk to. I highly recommend a walk or ride on the Boardwalk. We walked from Bally's to the Tropicana and enjoyed a breakfast at Hash House a GoGo. We stopped and enjoyed the Miss America statue. The Atlantic City Boardwalk is a place where you can create a memory.

Not much to do during off seasons. It's cold, and windy even in late March. With many people bundled up to brace the biting winds, but most shops are opened. They do sell similar items.
But the Rainforest cafe and Go kart Arcade was a treat. Though it's $15 for 5 times around the track, with no bumping allowed. It was enjoyable to beat our friends.
The Rainforest Cafe is a unique experience inside, like a scene from the jungle book. The Restaurant claims to have a Jamaican jerk chicken but it does not meet the standard. It's a grilled fillet chicken breast in a jerk like sauce. You can't fool a Jamaican with that. However, the rice and peas were on point.
If you want to exercise, walk, run and get your steps in, this boardwalk goes on for miles, with enough interesting sites for tourists. But I wouldn't vacation longer than 2 days in the off seasons.

The Playground Pier is a shopping mall located on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. It features a wide range of stores, including both high-end and budget options, making it a great place to shop for anything you need or want. The Stephen Starr restaurant Continental is easily one of the most versatile restaurants in the pier, with dishes ranging from $9 all the way up to $22.
Nice looking mall, but barely anything to do. There are only about 3 or 4 stores open in the entire mall and the restaurants were closed too. I'm not sure if more things will open up during the summer but I was here during April 2023 and it was pretty dead.
Definitely do not go out of your way to come here. It's nice to stop by if you're passing though.
I still gave it a very high rating because there was good music playing, the views are nice, and I managed to get myself a ring from one of the stores that was actually opened. I've wanted a cheap, silver ring for a couple of years now but never actually got around to purchasing one so I'm glad the opportunity presented itself here. The store owner was nice. Basically everything in the store was $10, but because we purchased a lot of things, he told us that we can pick out 4 rings for $10 so I ended up getting my ring for only $2.50. My sister picked out the other 3 for herself.
I hope more places open up here and it becomes busy again because it's honestly a really nice building and has a nice ambience.

Due to the time of the year many stores restaurants were closed. Combine that with the fact that we're in a COVID economy and there wasn't a lot of places that were really open. It's a nice location. Three levels on the third level you can only come down via elevator or escalators. You cannot walk across into Caesars The second level and first level. Second level you can walk across on the sky bridge enclosed protected from the elements. The first level you walk underneath the sky bridge and you're out with a wind can can hit you. There were some people who were walking the top level end to end cuz it's pretty damn long and a good place to get your exercise. They're also generic non-specified seating where someone could grab their lunch, bring it with them and sit down and just chill. So it was a nice atmosphere but again very subduated and sedated because of this time of year and post COVID.

This place has potential but it really doesn't matter when practically all the stores aren't in business. It was nice to have the place all to ourselves. (except the security guard that practically followed us around, and probably wondering why we were there in the first place.) I say if you're filming a movie and need an empty set location that looks beautiful, this is your place. Shopping? Not so much. I DID see a poster of an old prop comic of The Legendary WID, who I use to work with in my early days of burlesque. So my trip was unexpectedly fulfilled with a personal surprise.

Horrendous, what a joke this place was.
Every business was closed and left the property.
Its a shame because the place has nice views but what a ghost town.
Do not waste your time going here, it was like a seen from the walking dead.
Property management should be fired.
When you are running such a low occupancy, offer a couple of free months to prospective tenants so you could fill up quick
You are losing money as it is anyway.

I would highly recommend a visit but the place is incredibly sad. You can see what was once a great looking mall, and it almost appears it still could be, but it's largely empty now.
Why the high rating? It's a nice spot in the AC that sits almost directly on the water. Just head to the third floor and all the way down the hall for a great view. Seeing the 70s theming is neat as well.
Overall, another great location with absolutely great potential that has been left abandoned and empty. I hope someone can find a good use one day for this awesome spot.

In Atlantic City for the day and stumbled upon this vacant mall. Only had 1 open business left, a jewelry store that appears to be closing too. The view from the seats in the 3rd floor was great. Sad to see so much of AC empty. — at Atlantic City Playground on the water. “This mall is officially Abandoned this mall is America summed up in nutshell corporate greed has led to ever store fleeing this mall, the owner have nobody to play but themselves. Truly embarrassing”.

A great and Lively vibe here with restaurants and bars on the Upper Floor near the entrance at the boardwalk. The further you go the more desolate and deserted it gets. But the view of the beach at the end is awesome and a good place to sit in air-conditioned comfort on the Upper Floor.

Years ago, this pier was full of people, shops, and places to eat. Now it is barely a shell of it former pass. The deck out the back was locked, and they took away the sand that used to be by the beach chairs that looked out the Southern windows. Still love to visit and sit and enjoy the view, but there are no more stores, like there used to be. Someone needs to do something with this pier and make it great again.

Kind of a monument to late-stage capitalism at this point; the majority of the mall is deserted, with only a couple businesses still open. Very surreal experience, but also quite neat. One of my favorite stops on our trip to AC, as it was one of the very, very few places that wasn't a consistent, overwhelming din of awful music at hearing loss inducing decibel ratings.
Located on the famous Boardwalk and beach of Atlantic City, Caesars Atlantic City offers an experience like no other when it comes to luxury ancient Rome-themed hotels. Offering ocean views and rooms with modern interiors, guests can relax in the on-site Qua Baths and Spa or take advantage of all that the city has to offer. There is also a seasonal outdoor pool, fitness center, multiple treatment rooms, and more.
Our room was perfectly clean, there was a super fancy TV (hidden inside the bathroom mirror!) and ultimately we had a great experience.
My boyfriend and I came in on a Thursday morning for a weekend music festival and decided to stay here. We arrived at around 10AM, but were told check in is at 4PM so we’d have to pay $25 to check in early.
Thankfully, the lady at the desk upgraded us to an even nicer tower with a beautiful view! The service was always super fast and friendly, the ONE thing I’d wished we had was a microwave.
Overall fantastic experience here, and I can’t wait to go again!

I pretty much grew up here, sounds weird but true. I still love coming here, it's so nostalgic now. It's 1 of the best casinos in Atlantic City and a must visit. The food has always been great here and I expect nothing less. Parking is decent. Rates can be high unless you have a higher tiered card. Rooms are very nice, spa is beautiful & it connects to the Boardwalk.

Caesar’s is definitely on the higher end. Rooms are clean modern and up to date. Atlantic City overall needs to offer more when it comes to entertainment. People want to come here but not everyone wants to gamble or at least not only gamble. There’s just nothing to do here especially in the winter. Dinner at Gordon Ramsay’s pub was excellent all around. I could not last in the casino more than 30 minutes due to the smoke. It just seems so foreign to be indoors and have people smoking. I feel great empathy/sympathy for the workers who have to deal with that every time they work.

When I was here, there was only a pool for 21+. There were absolutely no pools for children and overall the place didn’t have many fun things for children. I recommend going to a different hotel if you have kids. This place was very nice and fancy. I also recommend that you do not go to the tower closest to the front desk.

I went to AC for an annual get together and the trip down was horrendous. I asked the front desk to change my room to a king bed, none of which were available, however I was upgraded to a junior suite that was pure luxury. The property was well maintained and smelled delightful. The website needs updating to reflect the current amenities and restaurants. The legendary buffet has not reopened since COVID.

I have stayed at Caesar’s hotel recently and many times in the past. Over the years it has gotten more silent in the hotel. Hopefully things will get more lively soon. The rooms are clean and you’ll have a lot of options to choose from for restaurants. However, this is a great location for going on the boardwalk and shopping near the outlets.

Arrived 2.5 hours past check in time, our room still wasn't clean and ready. Paid for full ocean view, was put in a corner view, due to booked room being nit cleaned yet. No sign at check in telling you to wait till invited up. When anyone went up without being called, female lead snottily told you to get back in line. NO friendliness at check in, or courtesy towards customers. No coffee in room for coffee maker. Going down to front desk for some only gave you a speech about a phone # in a text we never got. Non Carpet area in front of TV was nasty sticky! No waitress service in cassino at slots, had to buy your own drinks. Not enough waitresses to even keep up at the tables, and this was off season! Was not impressed! Parking ramp was confusing, as no ticket upon entering, but when asked front desk, they explained you give the - 5 coupon they gave and you pay 10 for Parking.

The self check in feature was easy and quick. 3 mins after I arrived, I was in my room unpacking. I got a room on the “ocean” tower, and the room is pretty nice. A modern, yet slightly upscale vibe. Very spacious (although it’s just ME), and very simple. The bathroom is very spacious, and the toilet is behind a closed door, which is even better. The shower is spacious and a very nice size.

I feel like the rooms here are much cleaner than other hotels so please keep that up! Check in/out was quick. I only wish their was more options for places to eat and shopping connected to this hotel. What is there now is empty and its such a convenience to have those amenities in your hotel. All in all it was a good visit and would return.

The customer service while reserving the room on the phone was top tier. In person, during check-in, not so much. However once we were finally moved to the newly updated room, the actual room we booked, the experience was much better. (Would have rated a 4 had the front desk experience been more professional). Paid for an early check in but still didn't receive the proper room until well beyond that time.

We had a good time here. Mainly played some slots. We didn't really win anything, but didn't lose anything either. Just mostly a bunch of playback. The casino was clean and easy to navigate. I just wish there was a bit more selection of slots.

Even though the rooms are clean (I stayed in renovated room) the rooms are limited - no balcony, no way to open the window, no fans.
Service staff was very friendly and responsive - rock stars !
Located in the middle of everything.
Basically this is a very gambling place with a lot of machines and everything to play. Beautiful architecture. Whenever I was walking to my room with my child - security warned me I cannot be walking in the gaming space with a child, but how can we get to the room if we don't walk through it?
All the rewards and points - they are tricky. Overall, I had 3 star experience. And the pool was closed. SPA was so-so too

We had a great experience at Caesars Atlantic City! We had a renovated panoramic room in the Centurion Tower. Everything was updated, had new fixtures, and new outlets and ports were added throughout the room. Loved the huge shower, and the room was so quiet! Lots of food and beverage options as well. Easy access to the boardwalk. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this property!

Kenisha. Shes the one. There was a situation with checking in but she handled it with ease. She did have help but I do not know her name. It took a little over an hour and she was there at every step. Even gave good recommendations for food and things to do.
The hotel room was nice and well put together. Very spacious for the double bed room.
Water in the city had an issue and the hotel was very prompt in getting the information delivered. They even gave waters and more upon request.
I will say parking is a bit of a bear. Be forewarned the spaces get filled up fast but the higher up you go from level 3 the more spots are available.
Overall it was a great experience.

Let's start with the wait and length of the line to check in, how about adding another person at the desk? Family of ours got there earlier and clearly their room was ready but they had to pay a $15 early check in fee to get in their room before 4 pm. They're just making money hand over fist at these casino's, crazy to charge that fee.
We were a party of 7 gambling in the casino together well over 5 hours and received exactly ONE, that's right ONE, complimentary drink. That drink we had to practically beg and stop a waitress to serve us. The one in our area hadn't come around and did not come back around after that round. Shameful. We were really looking forward to that. But again making money now at the bar.
The rooms were comfortable and clean, tho in the "ocean tower" the view was of another roof covered with rocks and other buildings.
However in the morning you'd think there was a staff meeting in the hallway that they had to yell to communicate apparently. Also the room being cleaned next to our adjoining door the vacuum was left upright and on for over 10 minutes before I went over to ask them to please turn it off. Mind you we were not hungover, we couldn't get drinks, but it's early, a day off, and really didn't need to be woken up like that.
There's so many casinos in AC there's no need to go to one of the oldest, old man casinos where you can't even get comped drinks.

Stayed here recently with my wife. Hotel was beautiful and the bed was comfortable. The casino is great other then the drink system on the slots. Why make customers wait twenty minutes between drink orders? Especially if you just want to order something non alcoholic like a soda or a water. It doesn't make any sense. I like the casino but I would rather be at Hard rock where I can order something whenever I want. It's too bad because Caesars would be my favorite otherwise.

Caesar's is a nice hotel. Really clean rooms. Wish there could have been more eating options available, there was basically only 2 places open to eat other than the "convenience" shop (which we were told does not offer points for Cesar's Rewards)--Gordon Ramsay's Pub & Morton's the Steakhouse.
When checking-in, if you are going to self park, you must park your vehicle first and then check-in. If you valet, there is someone to help you with your luggage.
If you want to go to the pool, you have to make a reservation to do so.

Had a wonderful two night stay this week! Stayed in the Centurion Tower, which has recently been renovated. Rooms are stunning and comfortable.
Housekeeping staff was fantastic.
Only complaint - food options are limited during the weekdays.
Highly recommend!

I give this 4 stars only because while visiting we had to contend with the on going construction that really took away from the aesthetic of the hotel. However, you can see that there are some nice upgrades coming. We were fortunate to upgrade our room to the Senator Suite and it was quite breathtaking. Very modern…and the bathroom - you have to experience for yourself. The hotel is located in a central location so it makes casino hopping easy. I don’t know when I will be back to AC but when I do I will definitely be back to see the hotel updates.

I only came through to gamble while waiting for my restaurant reservations.
Upon entering from the boardwalk, the doors slam shut, this was an issue when we last visited late last year. I’m not sure if they don’t know or done care, but it brings the class level down in m my eyes.
I like the play the slots and I understand there is a certain percentage of win/lose when you play, but as far as slots go, the percentage of losses is much higher here than any other casino I have been in. I tried some slot machines right next to Hells Kitchen, and the first machine I tried took $15 from me and had a screen glitch. When I clicked OK, the error went away, but so did my $15, without being able to play any games, so I hit the “service” button. While waiting for the “service” person to show up, I found 2 other people waiting for service due to malfunctioning machines. I never did get to see the service person as it became a choice to miss my dinner reservation, or get my $15 back. Now, $15 is nothing, but it’s enough to show me their customer service level and how I will never play one more dime at their casino, nor will I stay there.
They have a lot of work to do, and judging by the doors from the board walk being broken so long, they have no intention of fixing their problems. I’m sure they won’t miss my lost business, but I won’t miss their bottom tier service.
Reply to response from the owner:
I would be willing to come back and try, would you be willing to fix the issues I talked about in my review?

Our first time in AC and Caesars. Parking lot was superb and easy to access. Facilities were clean and well maintained. The check in line was long and we used the kiosk and checked in in advance online. Only one of the two kiosks was working. Please install more! The room was clean and spacious. Very quiet as well. We paid about $600 for 2 nights. In house dining is excellent but prices are high.

We really enjoyed our 4 nights here. We stayed in a newly renovated Centurion tower room with a nice ocean view. Room was clean and came with a small refrigerator which came in handy. I loved the hidden back lighting behind the television and the beds! The only downside I saw was lack of food options, especially later in the night. We did try the pizza place upstairs because it was open and ew! Won't do that again! Also knowing the location on the beach, I was still mortified when I felt something crawling on my foot at a slot machine, I was wearing heels, to look down and see a huge cockroach!!! All I know is I showed my husband and then it disappeared into the slot machine or something but never did see any in the rooms or elsewhere. Fun location right on the beach! The casino seemed to lack life no matter the time of day and they need some new games in there. We opted out of housekeeping but a text to ivy took care of extra towels and toiletries in a fast delivery! Would most definitely stay again!

One on the most horrible experiences I had so far with hotels.
Rooms and service:
The rooms have potential since they have interior from high quality. The issue is, they are not kept clean.
At my stay I had to ask for another room since there were huge yellow and brown/red stains on the beds. Not on the mattresses, but the sheets, so they could have been easily washed.
The room they offered was just with a king size bed, but since we were three adults they promised to bring another bed.
After a couple of hours and a walk on the very sad beach we came back to the room to see no other bed.
We decided to go for dinner and give them some more time to bring the bed.
After dinner we came back to find none.
Back at the reception I was promised it would be in the room within the next 20 minutes.
After half an hour I called to be told no one of their team ever asked housekeeping for another bed.
15 minutes later we had the bed.
It was a tiny uncomfortable bed. Luckily I couldn't enjoy it for too long since housekeeping decided to clean the rooms next to us during the night and as noisy as possible.
Still I'm sitting here with my back hurting and thinking "at least the bad was clean".
The location:
It's one of the saddest cities I've ever been to.
Most of the buildings need some renovations badly. Other buildings look like they were never completed. Probably the investors saw no profitability in that location anymore.
The beach and the promenade are not maintained and the people walking or sitting around look like they lost any hope for a better life.

I had a great experience but don’t give the parking attendant your hotel voucher for $5 off parking and see if they only charge you $10. I think they’re running a scam. The sign said $10 for parking, I gave them the $5 voucher and $5 in cash. They said it was $15 and I owed another $5. Next time I won’t give the voucher and see if it’s still only $10. If it’s $15, fix the sign that says it’s $10 because that’s a good hustle. And there’s a lot of homeless walking around begging for money. I blame government, not the hotel. Awesome place tho.

The room was very nice, very clean and well stocked. I would suggest that you book with the Ceasars app or website, they offer comps quickly. The check in was quick and easy, staff was helpful, making sure we knew what was open and the choices that we had for food. The only issue that was not Ceasars fault was the adjoining room occupants of the non smoking room were smoking weed, I'm not a fan of the smell, but the front desk did accommodate a mo e for us, I will definitely go back, it's a large casino, but set up well enough you don't have to walk a mile to get to the boardwalk.

One word: Filth. There are homeless people in the lobbies, casino floor, and bathrooms. There are actually signs inside that say not to bathe in the sink. The pictures below are my view, are the “clean” pillows, sheets, and towels that I returned to my room to see over a 3 day period. None of those hairs are mine. And the towels were in such poor shape that I actually had to use a hand towel to dry. Housekeeping Never vacuumed. I didn’t hear a vacuum in the building my whole stay. This place was disgusting!! I left early. They covered my resort fee, but it seems no one really cares. This plus the rudeness of the dealers and the fact that I could always count on seeing an elderly security guard within 10 feet of where I was and not handling the vagrants ensures that I will NOT be returning, comped or not…

This has to be one of the cleanest 'resorts' I have been to. It's spotless! That's only surprising since I never saw anyone cleaning! That tells me they go out of their way to run the casino without inconveniencing the guests.
The hotel layout is simple so finding the room wasn't a chore (elevators are bizarre but figured that out. Room 8009 is on 10th floor)

Super gross. The hotel was absolutely filthy. We stayed in the South Tower and the carpet had holes where parts had been removed, the shower had mold and would not drain, and every surface was grimy. The towels and sheets were white and very stained. I've been to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and thought this would be similar quality. I was very wrong. Protect your money and immune system and find someplace else.

First, nothing in the way of restaurant eating was open on the Monday 12/18 or Tuesday 12/19 except Hell's Kitchen and my wife and I were not interested. The floor of the room was dirty and the rug was too. Second, the little plate on the shower came off when I dialed up the hot water. The bathroom is beautiful. Housekeeping was lovely, so was front desk staff. The exclusives store was not open. Our room overlooked hotel roofs and the harbor, but not the ocean. Smoking area casino was dismal and machines were not hitting. Unhappy stay, but next time better planning on my part is in order. So I'll leave it at that. The city has a lack of seating as you are walking and street signs are confusing. They did let us change our reservation though to cut off a day, 12/20, without penalty.

Great location , close outlets , beach , boardwalk.
Casinos have options for smokers and non-smokers. Unfortunately only one restaurant was at the end of December, Starbucks and a little cafe with sandwiches and sweets. Rooms was quiet, beds are soft clean , different pillows on your choice, no problems with AC to hit up room in winter as well. Nothing exciting to be about but also nothing to be a complaining about. No view from my room in South Tower windows was even covered by some film. No place for kids , no lounges for family time or rest time , a few tables near the check in desk that's all you got.

This is the first or 2nd time staying at this location of Caesars, but gambled many times here. Table games $15-25 found spots easy, dealers were more personable then the last time which was nice. Drink service at the tables were better then most in the area, but not as good as they do in Vegas. 1 out of 4 stood out, like back in the days. Thank you if your reading this I had a fun night of blackjack.
This casino is located in Atlantic City, NJ and offers a variety of games, including classic and deluxe options. There are also premium, garden tower, and suites that are perfect for luxurious vacations. The Boardwalk is only a block away, and there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby to keep you entertained.
Make sure to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking any stay. This website will compare thousands of hotel sites and typically will have rates much cheaper than others! Thank me later! This resort is one of the best in the area. I've been staying here for years. If you stay for a few nights you won't be let down.
The renovated room we stayed in was amazing. It had a nice deep tub, separate shower, cozy seating area, and everything was so fresh. We can't wait to go back.

Really well ventilated for a casino where you can smoke inside! Normally my allergies do me in, but I was able to stay out all night just fine. Didn't do any gambling, but I had lots of fun drinking and dancing as there are plenty of places to do both. Very easy to have a nice time here, hope to come back soon.

Can't really fault much in this hotel. We had an ocean view super king in Bally's tower which was absolutely fine - only downsides are the bathroom needs a little update and there appears to be an odd gap around the bedroom window which allows you to perfectly hear the neighbouring rooms conversation as if you were in there with them! Luckily our neighbours were super quiet when it mattered and so wasn't an issue, just odd. Room did not smell of smoke which is great considering it is a smoking casino. View was gorgeous. Easy to navigate around. Only tried one restaurant in the hotel, Johnny Rockets which although a mess was super tasty!! Bell service was an elderly man who was so wonderful and friendly - say hi to him if you see him! Had no real issues during our stay.

We went to the Yard and had excellent service from our bartender Laurie! We tasted a few different beers before committing for a whole poor. She made delicious cocktails for my wife and my daughter in Yard cups. Great beer selection also. The cheese steak egg rolls were delicious and did not contain onions to my wife's delight.

Stayed in the Dennis tower, which I realize is the cheapest and most dated. It’s not horrible, but carpet was coming up in one spot, curtain was ripped. It’s the kind of room you want to stay in if all you plan on doing is gambling. (Which is why you go to AC in the first place). Location was great, right on the boardwalk. Overall, a decent experience.

Absolutely fantastic location on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The rooms were nice. The valet was limited when we went. We were told it was closing at five on Sunday, but they actually stopped at one. We had a great bartender and service at the yard bar, but the carousel bar service was not great and we ended up getting really sick off the drink. No one but the bartender touched our drink or was anywhere near us. A lot of the on-site restaurants were closed when we went. for a casino, it actually didn’t smell too smoky which I appreciated. there were also great views from our room of the boardwalk and ocean.

This was our first time visiting Bally's Atlantic City. When we walked in, it was hot, stuffy, and a strong smell of cigarettes. The line to the Bally’s Hub for a reward card was not long, but the line was moving super slow. They only had 2 workers in the member hub and they were doing a scratch-off event where you had to actually stand at the desk and scratch the card with a coin. After the associate input the reward into the system, you stepped over to the kiosk to activate the reward where there was another line. You would think that if they were doing a special event, they would have more help at the counter.
The customer service was lacking. While standing in line at the rewards counter, the off-going workers were joking around with the workers that had just started their shift all while they were trying to assist customers. If they would stop playing around, the line would probably move a little faster. The guy that assisted us did apologize for his unpreparedness because he had to walk away from us several times to gather his work supplies (new reward cards, new scratch-off cards, coins for the scratcher, etc.). He explained that he had just started his shift. However, he was also a part of the crew that was playing around instead of servicing customers.
Once we finally made it to the floor to play the slot machines, we noticed most areas and machines were not clean. This was a terrible first impression! Needless to say, we didn’t stay long.

The place stinks like cigarettes. The rooms are dirty. The halls are dirty. The bed is so springy it's funny.

Spend more and get a better place.

I would have given this experience a 5 star but unfortunately the staff here were very rude and don't know to treat and talk to their guests. A staff named Chris was extremely rude and racist towards me when it was time for me to check out. While I was waiting to be assisted, Chris didn't acknowledge my presence or greeted me. As I continue to wait, she decided to assist a white guest over me when I was next in line. When I asked for the manager, she proceeded to catch an attitude and throw a piece a paper at me. When asked why she was treating me so rudely, she ignored me, went to the back and never came back. I was extremely disappointed and upset to be treated like this, especially on my birthday. Please train your staff to treat ALL guest with respect.

I didn't stay. We ate at Johnny Rockets and went to play Craps. Only 1 table and it was full so we played Roulette for a bit. Craps table empties out so we go to it. Everyone left because it became a 25 minimum bet. Only a casino would rather have an empty table than a full one.

I felt like I could have stayed in a better hotel. Even though the room felt cozy but some parts of the room run down. For the amount I spent… I should have gotten a better well kept room. In addition, i was always lacking something in my room like wash clothes and tissue. I didn’t receive any housekeeping on Sunday. I informed the front desk representative that housekeeping never came. The front desk representative told me that there’s no housekeeping on Sunday. -I find that to be weird. Anyways save your money and try the other hotels in that area. The only

Building looks like it's falling down carpets are worn and faded. furniture's old, and there are lines. Waiting to get to access your card out the rear. Have 9 computers and only 2 attendees to help assist. Most of the places to eat were closed. Overall I spent more time waiting on line than any gambling. So It being easy to assume that they would. Rather you wait on line than to spend your money in their establishment. But I see you can get on the flower

This might be a long review but I’m very disappointed. So, sorry in advance. Bally’s is typically my husband and I’s favorite hotel to stay at and casino to play at. We haven’t been to Atlantic City in a little over a year and decided on a last minute trip on Valentine’s Day. Instant regret on choosing Bally’s for this trip. We checked in and headed to our room. Upon walking in, it smelled heavily of cigarettes and was a non smoking room. Go to put our belongings down and all the furniture was dirty & some of it was broken hanging off hinges. The bedding had some questionable stains on the first two layers. Absolutely disgusting. We decided to head down to the desk to bring it to their attention. The woman at the front desk didn’t care. At all. Sent up new sheets and blankets. Elevator to our room was very untrustworthy and as someone who doesn’t like elevators, we opted out and took the stairs. Turned the corner and there is a homeless man sleeping in the corner on the landing of the stairs. Very bad experience. Stay far away from the Dennis tower. Bally’s team- please shut this tower down and renovate because it needs it. Definitely won’t be choosing Ballys again.

They don't clean the rooms every day but they charge you for the service fee for every night. They only cleaned once during my stay! Their justification was the shortageof staff.
Parking smells urine! No cameras or security patrol for the parking!
Staff were not friendly and responsive!
One more, I could hear the neighbor room's snores at night. Walls didn't seem thin but I could hear their talks as well.
With all the negative points above, the room was renovated and cozy.

My boyfriend and I stayed to celebrate my 21st birthday. We bought a room with an ocean view, when we got there they gave us a room with a construction view. They told us that even though we pay for ocean view, it doesn't mean we will be guaranteed that view which makes no sense if that's what we are paying for. They proceeded to tell us that they were short staffed on house keepers so our room would not be cleaned until our stay was over. Most of the staff members are rude and seem like they hate their job or are just annoyed when you ask them questions. We went to cafe and grille around 12pm, the lady said there was no problem even though the restaurant closed at 12:30pm. The waiter however was super rude and told us "hurry up and order we are about to close" we couldn't order drinks or dessert because we felt rushed the whole time. Not to mention all the waiters were talking nasty about us and other guests that came in at a later time. We had also made a reservation to eat at Guy Fieri's restaurant, upon arriving we waited almost an hour after our reservation and they told us "you can dine in if you were invited or it's going to be $85 per person if you were not invited". A lot of the food was simply over priced and not even worth it. The only good thing was the casino. Even the staff members at the carousel bar were rude and seemed like they did not want to serve us. Overall it was a waste of money. There are plenty of other hotel/casinos in the area that are worth a try.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.

This was my first experience staying at Bally's Atlantic City.
First the good. I stayed in a part of the hotel where the rooms have been renovated, and my room was spacious and clean, with a great view of the boardwalk and ocean.
Now the bad. This Bally's has perhaps the worst guest services I have ever encountered. When I arrived, at about 8:00 p.m. on a Thursday, there was one person working the front desk. One person - for a hotel that boasts 1200 rooms. The line was short, but even when I was at the very front, I had to wait an additional 30 minutes to be helped. When I commented to the staff person how long I had waited, she gave me a look of indignation and said in a rude and brash tone of voice "We have OTHER guests that we need to help as well as you." No apology, no explanation; just rudeness.
I was with a group of friends who stayed in four rooms for four nights. NONE of the rooms ever received house cleaning. And in fact, you'd be hard pressed to find any information on a house cleaning policy anywhere on the website or in the room. By the last day of my stay, I had run out of the toiletries usually provided by a hotel.
There are other hotels in Atlantic City with the same price-point as Bally's. But if you want to pay upwards of $200 night for a room only to be treated poorly by staff who are supposed to make you feel welcome and comfortable, Bally's is your place.

I stayed in the Dennis Tower, which looked fairly updated for an old hotel. Overall, my room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Still, the bathroom could use better lighting and a magnifying mirror for putting on makeup. Oddly, there were no outlets near the bed for charging my phone.
Checking in takes no less than 20 minutes on a weekend unless you have VIP access, so plan accordingly. The touch screens on the self-serve touchscreens don't work well, and even if you make it to the end, it will just tell you to get in line with everybody else.

Went down there for a cheer tournament. The rooms were all new, bathroom was amazing. Service was good, everything looked clean enough, and the carousel bar is pretty cool.

Bally's Junior Suite is very nice we had a Ocean view room. I will NEVER stay at The Dennis Tower's again now that room was horrible. The hallway does smell like smoke and old ppl.

Hotel was okay but we booked through booking dot com and our final price included all taxes and fees including the resort fee, all clearly stated on our confirmation email. However after checking out Bally's charged us an additional $39 resort fee on top of what we paid initially. I explained that our booking included resort fees and I could show the confirmation email to prove it but they didn't care and told me they couldn't help me.

Went to Bally for three days around St. Patrick’s day. The toilet in my bathroom flooded overnight for absolutely no reason and soaked my shoes and bag. Definitely never staying here again. There are way better hotels on the boardwalk.

Love the hotel's beachfront location! 🏖️ But, my room was just okay, even though I specifically booked a renovated suite... 🤔 and, to make matters worse, there was no water in the fridge! 🤯 That's a major bummer!
The casino is pretty standard fare for Atlantic City - nothing particularly stands out, but still a solid spot to try your luck! 🎲💰

We have stayed in Ballys before hadn't had much issues. We came here for peace and relaxation and didn't get that at all. If you stay here don't stay at the Dennis tower. Views aren't great, the halls are beat up, the rooms/building are not maintained too well, and everyone loves slamming doors and random ppl knocking on doors at night too. The seats in the room are not comfy. I feel like the closer you are to Showboat and their new waterpark/ arcade, the worse it is. We are charged for amenities that we can't use (pool/gym), and now we even gotta pay for parking even if you are a hotel guest!! Overall I don't think we will stay here again in the near future.

UPDATE: TODAY another unexplained charge went off my credit card .Scam !
CAN'T recommend this place !!!
We got woken up super early by housekeeping, an explanation from the reception about it " oh well, they did not know u are not checked out" . It was 9am! Should that not be communicated?
The reception just doesn't care about their clients and is rude.The rooms are old and have a highly smoke smell.
Also, we got overcharged at check-out, still waiting for refund....
Worst place I ever stayed in

Where do I start? I heard Ballys has good Black Jack rules ( surrender available Split aces up to three times ) so I decided todo some research. I saw that on there website they had new player promotions and they do tier matching bonuses as well. So upon arrival at Bally’s, I went straight to there reward center to get my promotion and tier match. This is where the problems started. There were 3-5 customers ahead of me and I had to wait what felt like an hour I might not even be exaggerating. I was a little annoyed, but I get it I thought maybe they were really helping them. Keep in mind there was 3 staff members behind desk and one higher up staff member. when it was finally my turn The first thing the staff lady said to me was “what” . Ignoring how unprofessional and rude that was, I presented my diamond plus Caesars card and asked for a tier match. “Then give me your players card she said”. Again I ignore how unprofessional and rude that just was and hand her my Diamond plus Caesars card and ID. She takes it does whatever they do on the computer and prints me out a ballys player card. It was the wrong tier match card ( Should’ve been a level higher )which I didn’t notice until later. Then I start asking about their new player bonus. you see when I was online at the Bally’s website I read they will match any other free play bonus you show them from another Atlantic City casino. This lady was clueless on what I was saying and obviously annoyed. Not sure why tho. I was being friendly ( I had a smile on, ignored her comments) and very to the point, I didn’t want to be in this line anymore then she wanted to be behind that desk. I was beginning to feel like I’m at the DMV. While me the customer was explaining to the employee what I read online ( I loaded the ballys online website while explaining ) The employee beside her interrupts me mid sentence and says “that’s for new players only.” Now I’m pissed because I’ve never even been here before I am a new player at ballys. This is when I decided I’m done talking to these morons and ask for the higher up behind them . She comes over and I explain the bonus again and hand her my phone so they can read it themselves. Without saying anything, she hands me my phone and grabs a Pamphlet. It was their promotion and bonus rules and regulations. On there, it stated “ physical mailer with name and address required email offers not accepted.” I did not see that anywhere online I was going to show them a free play waiting on my Caesars rewards . I take my phone back out and sure enough nowhere online did it say it must bee physical. I Try explaining that there website is misleading . She’s just shaking her head the entire time I’m talking and says “doesn’t matter” whatever I’m more pissed that it took an hour + just to hear that. So I walk away And go to a kiosk. You’re supposed to receive a $20 free slot play regardless so I was planning on using that and leaving. Upon swiping my card there’s no free play to be found AND it was showing my tier status as there lowest level NOT the one I matched for. Although the physical card copy was high enough (the green one) The kiosk was showing something different . At this tier I wouldn’t even get free parking and I’m not about to pay 25$ to leave the garage When all that’s happened since I’ve been there has been Disrespected and Disappointed. So I go back to the reward center to straighten this out. I wait another 30/45 minutes and explain the situation. No suprise I’m met with sighs and eye rolls and get a new (The blue one this time ??) wasn’t even the same physical copy they gave me before. I take it go over to the kiosk and swipe same thing lowest level. You really can’t make this up. I walk over to the side of the rewards desk, refusing to wait online again and announce my problem to everyone back there. The higher up employee at the says “ i’m really busy right now so I didn’t have time to update it in the computer.” I explain Im leaving and wanna use it for parking. She says ok but upson exit I had to pay. Ive never written a review.
The Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa is a top-of-the-line waterside property with an impressive array of amenities, including dining options from all over the world, a casino, six pools, and a theater. The hotel also boasts cutting edge entertainment with top-name performers and luxurious accommodations.
Stayed in one of the suites absolutely love the Borgata it is so clean and I really enjoyed the amenities but it had to offer. Thank you my friend for inviting me I would definitely recommend this place. Make sure that you get a card so that you can gain points while you're playing any games. The restaurants were really nice I went to the two different buffets which offered a lot of good food. The view from my room was fabulous I will return five stars. Parking is $5 in the hotel, if you go you have to stop at the butter deli something like that they have these croissants it's in the picture and inside is spinach and cheese it was absolutely delicious. It cost $6 but a well worth it.

Rooms are spacious, Neat and clean, well stocked. Pool is very nice with two hot tubs. Good variety of slot machines good selection of food choices from casual and inexpensive to very upscale and pricey. Parking lot is easy to access and valet parking is also available. Good rewards program, drink service on the casino floor can be very slow and buffet has various days and hours that it may be closed so best to call and inquire if the buffet is open if you plan to eat there.

Borgata is the best casino in AC that I have been to, so I will award it 5 stars (AC scale). I’m not a huge gambler but those I know who are agree it’s the best for gaming. The rooms are nice and the casino floor is big and pretty spread out. It’s location away from the boardwalk makes it better in a way as you don’t get overcrowding and vagrants in and out from the boardwalk, this is a double edged sword since you can’t walk to other venues and have to take a cab across town to go to the boardwalk. The sports book is superior to others I have been to in town as it has a nice sports bar attached, this is (I believe) also the only casino in AC that has horse betting which I like. There’s a bunch of good restaurants too, especially like old homestead steakhouse. Gypsy bar usually has good live music on weekends too.

Everything was wonderful in the casino and the concert was amazing!
We ate at the metropolitan! Fantastic food and a wonderful fun atmosphere throughout.
I love the pool and laying in the sun before check out.
What I didn't like was I didn't know the last time our hotel room was cleaned!
I had to wipe all glass surfaces and the bathroom floor as there was hair like they don't vacuum ! It was pretty dusty.
Overall we had a good time.
Sarah Ernst — Google review
One of my absolute favorite Casino Resorts. Yes AC has a bad reputation from the inner city looking like a real fixer upper but honestly I have never felt a threat and I’ve walked the streets at night. Remember it’s all how you move. The Resort is still as beautiful since it has first opened. Now that MGM has it name on it I expect it only to get better. The rooms are just the best even a basic room is beautiful and clean. The views of the marina are breathtaking not to mention if you get a room facing what I call the Jersey shore strip of the other casinos. The Casino was Alive as it always tends to be and the night life here is one to beat! The food was great! I’ve been here a few times and I’ve enjoyed just about every place here and none of them have disappointed. This is one place that you’ve got to try!

Great place to stay, very clean and modern accommodation. I stayed in the MGM tower which had recently been renovated so the rooms were nice. I newly renovated rooms had a bit of a retro beach vibe but still tasteful. I wish that this hotel and casino was on the boardwalk so I had more things to do within walking distance.

Went here for the TriplePlay Realtor Conference. The rooms were great - our view was spectacular ⭐️ the people were friendly, everything was clean and easy to navigate. I loved the shops and the fact that they had a Starbucks inside too. ☕️
I was rooming with a friend so I kindly went out in the hallway in the early hours of the morning to work and people were so kind! The food was all surprisingly good, the dancing was incredible!
As a woman - just be careful late night.

Very disappointed in Borgata. Spent 3 nights there this past week for a business convention. We brought our team and booked 5 rooms. The day of arrival I called early to make sure our guests that were arriving a bit earlier then us would get a smooth check in and be using our card. I called and sat on the phone for an hour but the woman on the phone was nice and ensured me a smooth check in. She had me fill out credit card authorization forms and was charged $15 per room so they could use our card to check in. Once the first two guests were arrived, they had no notes of this and demanded to speak with the cardholder (which I am the cardholder - under the business) but because it wasn't under my name it was under the business owner's name - the actual room. This is understandable, but I also wanted to speak with the Manager to let them know that I had spoken to someone about this and wouldn't even talk to me on the phone through one of my employees' phones. Only wanted to speak with the owner of the business. Refused to get on the phone with me. Talks to the business owner finally and they got checked in. Once we arrived everything was fine however, they didn't use the card given for one of the rooms. So, I paid for credit card authorization, and they took the guest's card. VERY POOR COMMUNICATION between the hotel employees and very nasty manager.
We get to the room, room was fine. Only complaint would be that if the shower head wasn't toward the wall there was a puddle on the floor after the shower.
The 3rd night we were there we were at the BBar and our team had a table and chairs for a couple of hours. A few of us went to the bathroom and when returning wouldn't let us back in because it was a fire hazard. They watched us walk out and did not say anything. Poor communication yet again between their employees. Handled very poorly. I let the security guard know we had a table where half of our group was there, and a tab had been opened for a couple of hours. He said he would escort me to the bar to close the tab. Very unprofessional. It's like people sitting down at a restaurant that have a seat can't use the restroom and then are denied back in until people leave the bar. Completely avoidable if they were monitoring the bar from the beginning. There was a convention there and they should have accounted for more people than usual.
Overall, I will not be staying here again. Next Year I will be returning to Cesar's. The team and I very excited to stay at Borgata this year and very unhappy with their customer service. Everyone seemed unhappy working there.

My wife and I stayed in the MGM towers side of the Borgata and it was beautiful. Our room was beautiful and clean. The hotel overall was clean and very nice. The food hall had decent options. And was open till roughly 3am. We would definitely stay here again for sure . It's not walking distance to the Outlets however it was still a less than 8mind drive away.

Beautifully decorated for the holidays! Had a nice time for a quick ladies night but the machines were not paying, we all lost pretty quickly and it smelled like cigarette smoke in every section of the casino. I miss the smoke free days! The comedy show was pretty funny but it starts at 9pm so don't go to bed early or you'll miss it! Also, Bread & Butter is super convenient for a late night bite but the prices are a bit high... Thank God for comp $$$

This resort is one of my favorites in the area. I've been staying here for a long time. If you decide to stay here you definitely won't be disappointed.
The casino and hotel are pretty cool but its the Buffet open till 9 that has my heart. There is a really solid variety and I'm here a weekday off-season... Still really solid. Pretty diverse food options; they even have sugar free dessert items (which I think is gross but nice to see for people who need em).

What a fantastic time my family, friends and I had at the Borgata. There's so much to do. We experienced great service, good food, lots of laughs, and of course, the roller coaster fun of gambling. My vice is poker while others in my party enjoyed the slots. We had such a good time. All that we experienced made for great conversations on the ride home. Only knock, was the closure of some of the restaurants at the time we were there. Aside from that, we enjoyed our trip and are planning to go back soon. P.S. the Birthday magic is real!!!

What a great place. I got treated like a king from the moment I walked in the door. The slots and table games were amazing. The food and shopping was top notch with the buffet being my favorite. The Starbucks was busy as usual but the line was moving steady. Our room was spectacular and we both rested very well. I absolutely love the customer service by every staff member during our stay. It really seemed like anything we asked for or any questions we had were met with a smiling happy to help you staff member. Thank you for making our stay so special!

Sorry but I’ll be brutally honest. We came for the pool and spa show and I’ve never been happier to leave. The Room walls are super thin, so you hear everything. There are No bathroom vents or fans anywhere so all the shower smells, smoke and weed smells from other rooms travel throughout the entire floor. The fridges aren’t cold at all because they are in a cabinet, so why even bother having one. There are no room microwaves & the snack bars close at 5pm, so make sure you bring snacks. The pillows are thin and horrible. People are nice, but would not stay here again if I can help it. Prices for rooms are very good, but you’ll spend triple that for food & drinks, unless you go offsite. We did that a few times to save some money & we thought we’d die while doing it, so that was fun. Least the people were very nice. They get 5 stars.

They offer if available late check out ! 1 hr =free, 2 hrs $20 extra, 3 hrs $50 extra. Responsible since check out is 11am (during the week)-I stayed on a Wednesday night- low floor. (Not sure if different the higher up the floor is).
The food court is open 24hrs in the MGM part of the hotel. Two room towers !
The shampoo and Conditioner are amazing! Not the cute little take away bottles - they do have some for sale if you love it!
The part I found very interesting about the casino … they have smoking and non-smoking sections - but they are all connected so I’m not sure how they keep it ventilated… the non- which are near the smoking still smell! Seems odd to me! Would be awesome if they had Hookah this would step up their game quit a bit!
They did have one of my favorite canned cocktails offered in their food hall! Can’t wait to be back to play slots and take long hot showers without the water running out! Cheers!

I played the casino and lost but I had fun. I found my usual slot machine, Dragon Spin, moved to a corner with less traffic but translates to less service as well. I appreciated the free drinks while playing but I had to flag down 2 servers to finally get served. I can see they were understaffed on a Sunday. I ate dinner at the buffet and it was great. The host gave my elderly companion a chair while we wait for our table. It was packed! The food selections was noticeably less and one station was closed. The steak, salmon, mushroom ravioli and paella were my favorites. The sushi station looked sad and uninviting. I was hoping for oysters, crab legs or lobsters for the $38+ price but they did not have it. The $5 parking fee is unnecessary for the amount of money spent in the casino. It's still a great place to go for that Vegas feel without leaving the state.

This was my first time staying at the Borgata and it will not be my last. The staff were friendly. The casino dealers were in a good mood and willing to help people understand the table games better. Special shout out to Michael at the craps tables. He kept everyone in good spirits and gave me some pointers at craps.
The room that I had was nice with a good shower in it. Overall I and an excellent stay at the Borgata.

We stopped at the casino after not being here for a few years. The casino is still clean at well maintained. Nice to walk around and people watch. I don't gamble and am not a big drinker....I have had disappointing dining experiences in the past at casinos so skipped that as well. But if you enjoyed playing and a few cocktails it is the best casino in Atlantic City. I have also attended concerts here that were great.

The nicest hotel in Atlantic City without a doubt. Always extremely clean and set up nicely. Even when hotel has issues due to MGM hackers the staff made sure people were comfortable and happy.

It was a nice stay. There was always something to do. It wasn't very busy when we went. Everything that we ate was delicious. As far as the rooms we found 2 lonely pistachios there when we walked which was interesting. There was hair all over the bathrooms behind the door and in the shower. Some items haven't been clean in a while. While using the public bathroom, I came across a stain on the door in the bathroom where I hung my pocket book it was unpleasant to see .

The casino experience in borgata was amazing. I loved their building how it stand tall and full of light in night in the Atlantic City. They have light show also on their building outside. Second thing i loved was there lift. It has a “good luck” tile in every language possible. That is impressive also when you enter a casino. They have very nice shops inside on the casino floor. You can eat, drink, play, stay or shop at the same place. The casino floor has nice and updated devices. The ceiling looked so dramatic. The staff or dealers at the tables were very friendly. It was one of the nice experience

Standard hotel, staff nice. They are cheap though for example they don't provide the rooms with robes, the shampoos and soaps are big bottles and they are locked down, I've never seen that at any other hotel. Usually you get mini soap bars and amenities. I was fighting a migraine and needed ibuprofen, at the vending machine, one pack of 2 tablets was $3.50. Absolutely ridiculous, capitalism at its finest. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Shame on you. They also have a note that says they retain the right to enter any room at any time.

Away from the boardwalk with easy access from the highway lies this luxury hotel and casino. Rooms were big and spotless with nice products and a large, roomy step-in shower with built in seat. The decor is lovely and there are many high end restaurants (make reservations) and cafeteria style eating in the lower level.
I was there mid week and disappointed that there was no entertainment, no piano player, singer or lounge entertainment. I didn’t use the pool and spa so I cannot comment.
Parking is under the hotel and the charge was $5 per night.

Always a great time. It’s on the nicer end of the AC hotel/casino spectrum and I found the staff to be extremely helpful. Plenty of options for food and drinks. It was an awesome place to watch March madness and do a little gambling. It’s a 7 minute car ride to pretty much everything else in the area and found Ubers to be marginally less expensive than the taxis they call for you by valet area. Overall, I would return.

I don’t know what the type is about this place. I came here to celebrate my birthday. I got a suite room looking to sleep in a kings size bed, but to my surprise it was a damn queen the same size bed at home. False advertisement. I had to switch my room due to the refrigerator not working, room not properly cleaned. Jessica the front desk lady was great and very understanding to my complaints. She switched my room. I had to call house keeping more than three times for bags for the trash cans in the room and for tissue. I ordered room service for breakfast. The food came cold and not fully cooked. I Had to wait for the other have of my breakfast to come back up. By that time I already lost my appetite. The hallway always had specks of garage on the floors. The only thing that was good about this place was the indoor pool and hot tub. Would I recommend No!

Disclaimer: I am not a casino person, so we stayed here to attend a comedy show. Where do I start? The location was great as it is away from the boardwalk, which was a plus. The staff were friendly and the room service was really good.
The room! I disliked everything about the room (decor, furniture, and rugs). Housekeeping did a horrible job. The bathroom was not clean and the shower stall area needs a good makeover or grout cleaning. The hotel/casino had a very stale smell. They need a better ventilation system. The bed was very comfortable.
I don’t need to stay here again.

We stayed at one of the suits at the Borgata. The room was big and was modern with a nice view over the city.
We spend some of the nights at the casino where there was plenty of options of limits. The staff was quick with a drink.
Restaurants are good.
Breakfast buffet had what you need but it is like a classic all you can eat buffet with a lot of people and children and food that had been out for some time.

I stayed at the Borgata because Chris Rock had a show and it was just easier to stay at the same venue as the show. This casino has a nice lay out, the guest rooms are protected from the public and there are plenty of on site place to eat. The property overall is pretty, the exterior of the building is well kept and the parking garage has plenty of room. The only downside was one rude employee who refused to match my status that i had with other casinos. He gave me all that trouble only to have a higher up person give it to me in the end; the hassle could've been avoided.

Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa, 1 Borgata Way, Atlantic City, NJ 08401, USA
The Harrah's Resort Atlantic City is a large hotel complex with plenty of amenities, including an indoor pool and casino. The property has a good location on the Marina District of Atlantic City near the Borgata, and its variety of nightlife and recreation options make it a popular choice for guests.
Checking in and out was easy you can do it on your phone or check in by kiosk or the front desk. Friendly staff when you need help they help you. Food is always good reasonable prices all the time. The Pool was great. Rooms were very clean up to date. Reasonable prices if you have Comps use them.

Just all around disappointing. Let’s start with the good. Nice room, comfortable and clean , nice bedding. Fantastic two person deep bathtub - perfect for a couple! Housekeeping clearly cares about their work and they do a great job. The seafood and steakhouse was fantastic a little overpriced but worth it. Now for the bad. 1. Pool in the pictures is not free its $20 a day Also only open until 5 (the after dark pictures is only Friday and Saturday nights). Not easy to find that info - so the website is misleading. Pool cocktails are $20? Now for the terrible- They had no towels! Also, that day the elevators were down (we were told they had a fire alarm) then we were told that we had to go outside to get to a utility stairwell, wet, in 17 degree windy winter weather. We asked for a towel - they said they were too busy to help - even though there was no one at the desk at the time. Hopefully it’s not like that every day but we checked out and went somewhere else the next day.

Big casino! Many games to choose from. Cocktail staff, very friendly and offer great advice. Rooms are comfortable. Food options are EXTREMELY limited. Nothing to eat after 10 pm. Housekeeping seemed very confused as one day the lady walked in and was "in the wrong room." The next day, the lady said "oh I'm sorry, they told me to check the rooms that were already checked out" -- I had 1.5 days left.
My flight was 6 pm. I needed time to waste. I went to the spa, $40 just to relax and waste time. I am Diamond Plus. This should be free.....just saying. I was the only one in the spa for 4 hours (other than the attendant). Facilities, mediocre, but relaxing nonetheless. Hot tub needed a cleansing. There was hair floating in the water: I wiped the water from my head and face and a wad of hair was left......I'm bald, not mine. Overall, hotel was older but kept up nicely. The casino was a good experience. The food, blah. The spa, eh. Would I go back, absolutely. Just some things could use work or follow up. I am easily forgiving.

It’s disappointing to see the lack of support provided by this Caesar’s property. I booked a suite for my significant others birthday this past weekend. When I arrived, I was given a standard room. I was NEVER notified prior to check in that my room had been changed. When I asked at check in of this change, the employee was unable to provide an answer. This absolutely put a damper on the weekend. Why advertise something that wasn’t available? Seemed like a scam to get people down to Harrah’s, as it was CLEARLY a ghost town Friday evening. Find other ways to get people to your resort then scamming them.
Typically I stay at MGM properties but was recently advised of the great value Caesar’s properties offer and after this experience, it has tarnished my viewpoint. We ended up leaving Harrah’s and went to Borgata Friday evening, which was much more lively.
Working in the hospitality business, if something isn’t available you reach out to the customer. A simple email, as from the time I booked to arrival I received half a dozen of emails about things not related to my booking, a simple email of this change would have been much appreciated.

Very disappointed with this stay. It was our first time staying here and I definitely will not be back. We were lucky to have our room ready in time, but others from our group couldn't check into their room until around 11pm. The check-in process was crazy. The line was very long. I had a lot of trouble checking in at the kiosk, but decided to try another one before getting into the long line and the second machine worked. thankfully. The room looked nice, but they hadn't vacuumed, there was hair on the bathroom floor, the wall had something splattered all over it, one of the comforters had a burn hole on it. The furniture and doors looked like they hadn't been wiped down in a while. I tried calling the front desk a couple of times, but you have to go through so many menus and sit on hold for a long time. The second day I got in touch with someone from housekeeping because we were missing the sign for the door to let housekeeping know we didn't need towels, they ensured we would have one on our door that day and they never brought it. Definitely not impressed with my first stay and will use another resort next time.

I wanted this hotel to be a great experience for my husband and I because the last time i was here I had a good experience. First off if you are booking a room here make sure you do not book in Coastal towers. Their website falsely advertised that it is newly renovated when it’s not. Our room was dusty, finger prints all over the mirrors, mold in the shower and sink and sheets were dirty. I was going to deal with it with no problem because we were just staying for one night, but then what really did it for me was the roach crawling on the wall that I took a video of. The hallways were also filthy. We quickly left out of there at 12:30am and explained our concerns to the front desk. I had to drive back home in the middle of the night. It was such an inconvenience. It’s really sad that a hotel like this is lacking proper maintenance and hospitality. Like these are details that are important to maintain in order to keep a thriving business. My sister who was staying in another room next to ours had thumbtacks holding up the wall paper in the bathroom and behind it there was tons of mold, which is a health hazard. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I was scared about staying at Harrah’s at first because of the negative reviews I have seen. My experience was very positive though. I visited for my 21st birthday and had a good time. Our room was very clean. I would be honest if it wasn’t because I’m a clean freak. The hotel is in short distance from other casinos in the area so we were able to walk in between them. The staff was very helpful when handling an issue with booking through a third-party website. The only issues we had during our stay was our drink orders from the slots being canceled and the pool not being open. I would recommend staying at Harrah’s though.

After a recent stay I'd say this place used to be a decent enough hotel but they're clearly not any longer and I would say for the money, you'd better off staying at a better option. From the Pool charging guests $10 per person per visit, the confusing and under construction parking lot, the quite rude and inept staff, and even more rude corporate customer service, it's evident that they are trying to recover from money lost during pandemic and just hiring anyone and barely training them. They are literally in the hospitality field but aren't hospitable ( one corporate rep hung up on me because she was in her feelings about me telling my experience). The room was nice but the lighting was bad and they seem to be on a money grab. Stay away and chose a better option until they get their stuff back together and recover if they can.

I love Harrah’s it now my go to casino/ hotel!!! They have all the food network all stars there for quick eat options. The room was clean an modern and if I could take the bathroom home with me I would. This hotel had a your vibe to it! No like some of the other hotels our parents frequent. They have a adults only pool you have to be over 21 and at night it turns into a club!!! The music was awesome and it was definitely a vibe!!! We start in the waterfront tower.

It's away from the Boardwalk, but worth visiting. Nice and big, newly renovated. Smoking section is off in the corner. I really enjoyed the spacious gaming floor, a lot of Slot and Video Poker. Clean well maintained machines, very pleasant experience, nice mellow music. A nice contrast, great staff

A great experience from the moment we got there. The front desk was friendly and eager to help. The restaurants are spotless and the wait staff are terrific. The highlight of our stay was the Gordon Ramsay restaurant. Terrific food and professional service, Victor, made our meal a pleasure. The renovations made to the hotel were so well thought out.

So this hotel is very nice.
Pros: decent size beds. Great mirrors with lighting for pics.
Rooms are very clean & well kept.
Customer service/front desk service is smooth & they're pretty nice.
Hotel has it's own aroma, it smells really great as soon as you walk in.
Cons: Pool closes way to early for the location and for it to be a resort.
No microwave in room.
Early check-in fee of $25

We switched rooms. The first room was incredible dirty. They didn't even vacuum & the mattress cover was stained & disgusting. Bathroom had mold in shower. This was the first time experiencing this. Second room in the Waterfront tower was amazing mostly because it was brand new & updated
Ordering drinks on floor was super easy & really fast

The room was spacious and clean.
The hotel staff was very receptive to our request for more towels etc. The pool was a great experience And not crowded at all. The hot tub by the pool was a nice surprise and they provided plenty of towels for us. The casino was great plenty of gambling options too.

Stayed for an overnight family trip. Tanaysia checked us in and was very pleasant. She offered us an upgrade and we asked for a room in the newer tower. We ended up getting a double queen bed in the waterfront tower and it was very nice. We had a great view and the room was very clean. We called for extra blankets and they came in a timely manner before we stepped out.
I wasn't a big fan of the "Family swimming pool" but my youngest enjoyed himself.
Overall the hotel was a 8/10.

Where do I begin? From my arrival there were immediately issues. After a 5 hour drive I used the self check-in machine to avoid the line. The machine was getting stuck but a worker was able to get my confirmation paper and keys out of it. Both keys that were dispensed did not work to get us into the room. After trying the keys multiple times, I went back down to the lobby and waited in the long check in line so someone could assist us. I got new keys for the room, and those did not work either. So I had to go back downstairs again and at that point they switched our room as a resolution. I wasted a whole hour during this check in process. The new room had many things that were not working. I went downstairs to speak to staff yet another time about the issues and they said there were no other available rooms for the night but that they would call me in the morning to make a switch. We did not request any maintenance as my friend was already in the room asleep. She was woken up in the middle of the night by a maintenance worker. Why would they request maintenance in the middle of the night when I had already told them my friend was in there sleeping?? On top of that, I received no call in the morning to switch rooms so I had to request it myself in the lobby and wait in line yet again. FINALLY 2 days into the trip we got a suitable room. The customer service was really lacking, not to mention you have to pay to use the pool even as a hotel guest. The hours of the pool are not even listed correctly online so people were lining up an hour early. Many of the slot machines were out of order. Drinks are $20+ any bar you go to. Parking is not free. Everything comes out of your pocket. I was denied a refund by customer service so I will not be back.

Great hotel. Had lots of fun there, the rooms were clean, beautiful and luxurious. I had view of the dome pool from my room window.
The indoors pool area with the glass dome is even great with the pool after dark scene throws it off the top.
There was a little of everything from food to casino and everything in between on the location where you don't even have to leave the grounds.
I will definitely visit again.I will recommend to friends and family.

First time here and thought it was fabulous. The casino is clean, and up to date with the latest games of chance. Great selection of restaurants. Room was clean and spacious and modern. Only complaint is the pillows. The were so soft they flattened when I put my head on them. Other than that, great views. Very friendly staff.

I would give 0 starts right now if I could. My family and I all had atrium suites booked in advanced for my father’s 73rd birthday. When we arrived at the hotel after 4pm, not only were the rooms not ready but they moved us to separate rooms. We have also been up all night long because the people in the room next to us have been very loud. This is by far the worst service I have ever experienced in my life when you vacation. They only remedy which was offered was a slight food credit.
I proceeded to order room service with the measly credit they gave us. However, the coastal craft which serves breakfast has not been answering the phone. We have special dietary needs and need one of the meals slightly adjusted to meet these needs. We are unable to do this online. So how can we order if they don’t answer the phone?
Theirs is another huge problem here too. My status and staying with the resort allows me free parking. The last three times I’ve stayed here, they have had problems in the parking garage. My room key doesn’t work and my players card doesn’t work. I’ve had to sit here for 30 minutes.

One of the best casinos we have been to in a while. Machines paid enough to keep playing and even to win some cash! The drinks were good and the room was decent. For a hotel it would be 4 stars, for a casino 5 stars.

So the key here is to book a suite. Our suite in the atrium was far from the smoke smell and a quiet oasis away from the larger crowd. There are definitely nicer casinos that don’t smell like smoke but our room was amazing . Concierge and all workers super helpful . Lots of food options. I enjoyed my stay!

Rooms are not very clean (hair, stains on towels, mystery slime on wall, brown water when first turned on faucet) You also have to walk through the casino and cigarette smoke to get to elevators.
Called maintenance/ housekeeping twice during stay (once for clogged toilet and once for extra towel) and each time they came in under an hour which was good.
Perfect casino location but further from the boardwalk and beach

We paid for a suite and it WAS beautiful. Upon opening the door it smelled like several dogs had pooped and no one ever picked it up. We called and they told us we could switch rooms. Went down to do so and was told they don't swap out rooms. The best they could do was send someone up to squirt something to mask the stench !!!!
Renault Winery Resort Hotel is a luxurious hotel located on the grounds of an 1864 winery. The property has upscale dining options, outdoor pools and a golf course.
My wife and I were gifted a night's stay and winery tour at Renault winery. Starting with the hotel, check in was smooth and quick, the room was spacious and clean.
We then walked across the street to the winery itself and had a very nice and informative tour with Brian. His demeanor and approach to the tour was perfect for a Wednesday night. Relaxed but we really did learn a lot about the history of the winery. And that's not even mentioning the amazing wine we were able to try. Renault is one of the oldest winery's in the country and you can absolutely taste why that's the case from the first sip!
We are definitely talking about how we can come back in the warmer months for a little bit of a longer stay!
Perfect little getaway in the heart of South Jersey.

I booked for a birthday get-away.
I was expecting the chateau to be very high-end, but I believe they were renovating when we were there because one side of the front facade had a missing a part of its exterior wall.
Our room was spacious and came with a package that included 3 jar cake flights, a bottle of wine, wine flights-for-2, and a $50 F&B credit for their Champagne Patio Garden and Tasting Room for each night that we were there.
Both the Champagne Patio Garden and the Tasting Room were spacious. The drinks were great, but the food options were limited (not exactly fine dining), but again, we were informed that neither had a fully operational kitchen at the time that we had gone. Their staff were all very friendly and 2 of them suggested that we go back during the summer time when there would be more outdoor events (music festivals etc). We weren't able to try out their ice skating rink or actually experience their Vinter Wonderland since none of then were open during our stay.
Overall it was a relaxing stay. I would go back again to actually walk around the vineyard and check out what it's like during the summer.

What a gorgeous venue! Dropped in to visit the area to see how it would fare for a corporate retreat and found it to be amazing. Enough rooms for the group I intend to bring... And there are tons of conference room areas for us to conduct our trainings.
I was especially surprised at how delicious the food was at the restaurant. Very good stuff.
My room is recently renovated and even has a balcony off of the room where I can peak out over at the restaurants and winery area.
Can't wait to get the full tour tomorrow!

My bed was horrible. The rugs were stained and I had an unknown brown stain on my pillow case. For the price they charge per night I totally felted ripped off. My son had a soccer tournament in the area. It was important that he had a good night sleep. What a disaster we both could not sleep because the bed was old and lumpy. The pillows were also old and lumpy. The sheets and blankets were too small for the bed. What made matters even worst was the front desk staff. When we returned for the day our room was not cleaned and the beds were not made. When I asked the front desk about it I was told " You have to stay here for at least 3 days before we clean the room". At $400 a night they don't clean or make the bed Wow!. At check out I expressed my disappointment and was given a sorry and given a cheap bottle of wine. The grounds are lovely. I appreciated the history of Renault Wines but they should stick with the vineyard business. The rooms and service are 1 star motel. They have invested in the exterior of the hotel but not the rooms.

We absolutely adore Renault Winery and always are eager to get to work alongside of them! Every single one of the spaces at Renault Winery are captivating to any one who steps inside to see this beautiful venue, and every space makes a statement. Not to mention, the background of the vineyards and landscape that truly make for such a stunning backdrop for photos. From the beautifully manicured grounds, the amazing scenery and picturesque spaces, this is the ideal setting for any couples wedding day. They truly embody all of the makings for an exceptional venue. We highly recommend Renault Winery — if you are considering having your wedding at Renault Winery, then you have found the perfect venue where they can truly do it all!

Great event organizers! Beautiful venue. After attending a marvelous baby shower at Renault's, we decided to have my daughter's bridal shower here and I must give my compliments to the staff! From start to finish they were totally on top of things. They were also the most pleasant, professional, accommodating and attentive staff ever! The room was set up perfectly. The food was fabulous. Everyone had a lovely time. Our guests all let me know how pleased they were with the atmosphere, staff and food.

The website makes the hotel look better than it is. Kudos to whoever put their marketing materials together, but unfortunately there was a bit of a let down when we arrived. The amazing pictures of the Chateau online had us thinking we would be checking in to a high-end Chateau-like hotel. It's not. The rooms are basic but spacious, comparable to what you would expect from a 3-star hotel. The website was so well put together that at first, we wanted to spend 3 full days here in order to get to all the great activities they advertise, but 2 days is more than enough. Meal options are very limited, so definitely plan on eating some meals offsite if spending more than a day here. The Winery, on the other hand had a really nice atmosphere and was very enjoyable. All in all, while it was not the luxurious weekend we had in mind, we're glad we came.

The place was perfect for my stepfather’s 90th surprise party. It was a huge success. The team that assisted that day was amazing and incredibly responsive to our needs. Everyone enjoyed the party and the facilities. The food was excellent, prompting several guests to separately comment how surprisingly good the food tasted. We all had a wonderful time, but more importantly, my stepfather was able to celebrate with all of his loved ones and thoroughly enjoyed the event.
It was a great experience!

Beautiful location and venue. I was there as a wedding vendor and worked with Marcela. She was extremely easy and accommodating to work with. She kept me updated on the timeline of the day and advised me of small changes made by the bride and groom throughout the day. It was an extremely hot day and made sure we had water throughout the day. It's the little things like this that make people/service stand out. Marcela was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend.

In our small business, we try to have a staff retreat on a yearly basis. Renault Winery has been the perfect location more than once. The facility offers meeting rooms of different sizes that will meet your needs. The staff is more than accommodating, and the food is exceptional. The winery and golf course are accessible for additional activities. Renault Winery is a small resort, so you will appreciate the personalized attention afford to all your guests.

I went for the tree lighting in December with my husband, and brought my parents along too. The staff was so friendly. Everything was lit up and it looked so magical and festive. My step dad and I rented ice skates, and went ice skating . The skates fit well, and the ice was smooth, and surprisingly the ice wasn't too packed either which was great! We really enjoyed ourselves, and will be back before the season is over.

We celebrated our son's wedding. I believe the staff runs hot and cold with their services. Hard to get a response from them, requiring me to call multiple times. I wanted cocktails served outside and they decided it would be better inside. Personally, I thought the food was only OK. Our attendant couldn't be found. The venue itself is gorgeous and the guys were very happy with the golf course.

The view outside was very nice. Probably the best I’ve seen compared to any winery nearby. That alone gets two stars. However, that’s where it ended for us. We walked in and did not feel welcomed. From the employees down to the guests, this place is not diverse AT ALL. We got dirty stares as soon as we walked in which changed our entire mood. The host then seated us all the way in the back by the hallway passing up plenty seats. As big as this place is.. The wine tasting, food, and bar is all on the same menu and squeezed in the same room. It’s not in separate sections like most wineries. After looking at the small menu, we just decided to get up and leave. This is a winery with not that many wine choices. If you are coming here for wine, it is much better places. Especially with a diverse crowd where you won’t be judged and stared at the entire time.

We had our staff retreat at Renault, everything was wonderful. Meredith, who I worked with to set everything up, was easy to work with and did a great job executing what we needed. Renault has gorgeous meeting rooms, everything was set up the way we requested, the food was AMAZING and the service outstanding! We did the wine tour and tasting, which was very interesting, very much enjoyed learning about the history of the winery. We also stayed at the hotel, the decor was beautiful, the rooms comfortable and spacious. I would look to have our staff retreat there again.

I played a round of golf here the other day. I just wanted to say what a beautiful course and I want to give my hats off to the groundskeepers and the entire staff. A course that is near top notch and one that is always booked with a lot of golfers out there. I was pleasantly surprised to say it looked like a private course from the tee boxes, fairways, and the greens! Especially for this time of the season. I have played at courses all over atlantic county over the summer and this one was top notch and should be recognized as one of the premier courses to play. The rate of play was excellent from start to finish and not to mention the inside bar/restaurant. We went in after our round and it was also excellent! I cannot wait until my next round!

Renault Winery is a top of the line wedding venue. I can't express enough how thrilled we are to continuously work with them. The staff, such as Marcela and Samantha, are top notch and go above and beyond to make sure every aspect of the events are flawless. They always work as a team with us to make our couple's day as special as we possibly can together. Their attention to detail for each couple is some of the best we have seen as a wedding venue, and the communication is also unbelievably great. The venue itself is stunning - the architecture, the well-manicured gardens, and the elegant interior spaces all provide a picturesque backdrop for their ceremony and receptions. Don't think you are leaving there without everyone talking about the food! The catering team does an amazing job and they put in extra effort to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Their food is just exquisite! We always look forward to working here with our couples, and continue this wonderful team effort and dedication to the clients we share. Looking forward to the next one.

My experience at Renault Winery in Egg Harbor City, NJ was nothing short of magical. This venue provided the ideal backdrop for my engagement proposal, followed by a delightful lunch with friends and family in a semi-private room.
The venue itself is stunning, boasting a picturesque ambiance that added to the charm of the special occasion. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere exuded warmth and elegance, making Renault Winery the perfect choice for such a momentous day.
Elaina, our venue coordinator, played a crucial role in ensuring the success of our event. Her assistance was invaluable, and her knowledge of the venue and event planning made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I appreciated her approachability and willingness to work with me to make my vision come to life.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive aspects of our experience, we did encounter a minor setback with the timing of our food and drinks. While it was a small issue, the delay did impact the overall flow of the event. Additionally, having a dedicated server would have enhanced the experience, but this was not a significant drawback.
Overall, Renault Winery is a superb choice for both intimate and grand events. The breathtaking setting, combined with a helpful and knowledgeable coordinator, makes it an excellent location for celebrations. While there were a couple of minor hiccups, the overall experience deserves a solid 4.5 stars as the impression was overwhelmingly positive. I would highly recommend Renault Winery for anyone looking to create lasting memories in a beautiful and accommodating setting.

I highly recommend Renault Winery to anyone wishing to enjoy a beautiful place, excellent food and wine, and exceptional service.

Beautiful Location! We brought our dog, so we sat outside. Did have to let them know twice that we had a table outside. Finally did get a server who I believe was Jessie/Jassie who was great and always said hi to our dog, and she checked in on us multiple times. Also had someone set up cushions so we could sit at the area by the fire pit! Great happy hour drinks and food especially for the prices!

WoW! Renault Winery is an amazing place to visit, entertain and stay. The accommodations, amenities, dining and staff are 5 Stars across the board. I hosted a customer event in their Speak Easy Room. Meredith and Morgan were phenomenal in helping me set my event up and provided me world class service. My customers raved about the location, food, service and overall ambiance of the night. I can't say enough about the excellence of their customer service, attention to detail and the beauty of the facilities. My wife and I stayed the night at the hotel and the room was one of the best rooms we have stayed in. The beds were very comfortable, the air in the room was fresh and the everything was as clean as new. I would highly recommend Renault Winery for any and all events! We will definitly be back to host future events.

Carly was a very personable waitress. She explained the wines well for the tasting and listened to our 2.5yr old son babble at her.

0 stars if I could. Went there for dinner. Ordered the 14oz ribeye which was good but it definitely wasn't 14oz. It was between 10-12oz I asked for extra mashed pot instead of the broccoli. That didn't happen. We only saw our waiter once so we never got another drink. The burger looked like a slider. The service was beyond awful. Never going back

Stayed the weekend for my son's wedding. It is a beautiful property, the hotel and the winery, golf, etc. The location is a bit remote. The rooms are being renovated and ours was new and very nice.
It was a torrential downpour all day Saturday. There was no coffee in the hotel itself. I know they have a Keurig in the room, but no cream, etc., so undesirable. I inquired at the front desk about a coffee urn/station and was informed, "yes, we do not have that now because of renovations taking place and our little kitchen is closed". Why couldn't something be brought over from the restaurant and set up in the lobby? Extremely inconvenient that we all had to run across a flooded street to get coffee.
I then inquired about umbrellas to go across the street and the front desk staff looked at the empty umbrella stand in the doorway and stated "oh they are all gone", but never offered to have them restocked.
The best part was getting the bridal party across the street, in full wedding attire, with hair and makeup done, in the rain. There were nice, large golf carts sitting there, and the staff said they didn't have keys for them. Well, that is just crazy, why have them sitting there?
Nobody seemed like they wanted to assist, with all the money we spent on the rooms at $300+ per night, the wedding, the before/after meals, etc., it was disappointing to say the least.

We'll definitely be going back!
We took the Kayak Trip from Quaker Bridge to Batsto......awesome trip!! Beautiful scenery. Pinelands Adventures staff was great!

We had such an amazing time kayaking. Property is very tranquil and beautiful . Joe, the Pinelands Adventure driver\worker was very helpful and informative. On the drive to the water, he shared the history of the land and was very helpful with instructing us when getting in the water.
I selected 4 stars due to us having to cram so many people in a one tiny bus with no air-conditioning or fans after a hot day to be brought back. My son and son-in-law, along with some other men who were kayaking, helped the driver (different driver, not Joe) load all the kayaks because he was the only that came to get us. It was only the one guy and there were about 10-12 kayaks to load.
Overall it was a great day! I highly recommend.

I've been kayaking with these guys for the past 7 years or so and it's always a great time! They truly care about about the Pinelands and have a lot of knowledge about the area. Love it!

They are very knowledgeable about the area, from soil to biodiversity to its history. Since a storm was approaching they made sure to contact us and pull us out of the river before it even hit. However signal is hardly there in a few places.
Single kayaking for 4 hours was a great experience even for a beginner like me , was fortunate enough to have good weather while out there. Lot of places to get stuck, helps to have people around if you’re a beginner on a self guided trip.

First time kayaking on Batsto River. Pinelands Adventures made the trip easy and stress-free! Loaded and unloaded kayak, drove us to the put-in point, and picked us up at the end. Great experience 👍

This by far exceeded our expectations! We were a group of 12, ages 10 to 68 and all had a great time. When I first contacted them they communicated well and convinced me to go kayak and not canoe, great decision! When we arrived we were greeted so warmly and all was explained clearly. We did the 4 hour trip and the scenery was breathtaking! Michael our driver blew us away with so much interesting information about the area and he was so sweet and helpful. I highly recommend this place and it's perfect for a group outing.

Visited this establishment yesterday. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We had our own kayaks and paid a $30 charge for drop off and pickup. There were 7 of us and we did the Quaker Bridge run. The staff were all awesome and so full of knowledge about the area. It’s a downstream run so really just steering involved. That was helpful for the few first time kayakers that were with us. Mostly covered by trees and beautiful nature. We did see some fire damage on the trip and they gave us a good explanation of how it happened and how it is controlled. Highly recommend this place!!

This was a bucket list paddle for me, as I'm about 2.5 hours north. It was super convenient to book, and everything went flawlessly. Our driver was extremely pleasant and gave us a great history lesson on the pine Barrens on the way to the drop off. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Always an incredible experience with Pinelands Adventures! I’ve kayaked this river in various weather conditions, and I’m never disappointed with all the beauty I encounter and the enjoyment of the adventure. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable, warm and very friendly. I’m originally from this area but with each visit, I seem to always learn a new & surprising fact re: the Pine Barrens!

It is a popular place. The staff was very kind and polite. You will ride a school bus to the starting point. The driver briefly explained the history of places while passing. It was very interesting. It was for the first time I ride in a very curvy stream. As a beginner, if I got even a brief explanation about how to turn the direction of a boat? It would be helpful; however, we learned it in a hard way. It took a long time but they told us that as long as we come back by 4 pm they were fine with it. It took about 3 hours. When we arrived to the end point, a school bus waited for us. The retuning bus was very fun. I felt like a corn inside of a pop corn pan. You will know what I meant if you ride it. It was nice trip. I want to do it again.

Excellent kayaking experience! Helpful staff, good rental equipment and magnificent scenery! We will be going back for a guided experience in the future!
So happy that these animals have found a place to live for the rest of their lives. It
is an educational place not only for kids but also for adults. Highly recommend!

This review is as a visitor to the nature center, trails, and to see the permanent resident animals in the enclosures. There is a fee requested to enter, but I think that's reasonable at a place caring long-term for injured animals that can't be released into the wild. Enclosures seemed to be a nice size appropriate to each animal, and all seemed well-fed. Front desk staff was really nice, informative, and helpful getting our bearings as first time visitors. There is a gift shop with some cute items for purchase. All in all, it seems like a great place doing great work, and it's an educational way to spend a couple of hours.

They were extremely helpful and kind on the phone. I came across a Canadian goose with a badly injured leg and brought it to the refuge after hours. I was worried about just leaving the goose there and was about to leave; thankfully I didn't. Mary Kate came out and was very kind and knowledgeable. I wondered if the goose could be saved and she was very matter of fact and honest and honest but also kind. She advised that the rehabilitators would take a look at it in the morning and laid out the whole process. Please donate to this beautiful place. They really are a godsend.

On Saturday morning we had ourselves an adventure at Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge when we attended their annual Trails, Tails, and Ales event! Growing up in Medford I have fond memories of this place. As a kid in the 80s and 90s I was a regular visitor, taking school field trips, working as a volunteer in scouting, and taking injured wild animals to their hospital with my parents whenever we found one that needed help. Today I still live in Medford and my recent trip there made me realize that I take this wonderful place, that’s practically in my backyard, for granted. If you want to immerse yourself in nature, purchase a daily pass and walk over 3 miles of hiking trails where you can spot all sorts of creatures in the wild. You will also see animals in the enclosures that are being rehabilitated along with some that are not able to be released like their resident bald eagle. There is a nature center that has several exhibits, a reptile room, and a gift shop. They offer many programs for schools, scouts, and other groups including private events and birthday parties. The best part about Cedar Run is their Wildlife Hospital! For decades people have been bringing injured or abandoned wildlife that is native to New Jersey. This all started in 1951 when Jim and Betty Woodford purchased the land and in 1957 founded Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge. Every year they treat over 6,300 wild animals! They don’t receive any government funding so donations are greatly appreciated. Visit their website for more information including programs and events. We were there over the weekend for the Trails, Tails, and Ales 5k Fun Run and Beer Garden. The highlight of my adventure was running my first race ever and the highlight of my wife’s adventure was being the first one in the beer garden! Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge is great for nature lovers of all ages and is truly a local treasure of the pines! 🦅🐢🏥🌲 #cedarrun #njwildlife #medfordnj #adventuresinsouthjersey

Beautiful hikes, stunning animals. Despite feeling bad for the injured animals, it's amazing to witness them and know they wouldn't survive or educate people without this reserve. $10 to enter or $20 per adult for year passes. I brought the year passes because I adore this place and their mission.

This place is fantastic. There are quite a bit of animals and each animal's story is displayed on their cage.
The animals are well cared for. The grounds are clean. They could use a few trash cans here and there, but I understand why they are hard to find. But the humans tend to litter. We picked up a few masks, baggies and juice boxes. No fault of the staffs.
This is an inexpensive, educational fun for kids of all ages. It's a calming, restorative place to visit!

This place was really neat! They have an outdoor play area, trails, animal exhibits, indoor play area, picnic area and so much more!
The guy at the front was super nice! The whole place was super clean. I took my 3,6 and 7 year old and we walked the .75mi trail and they were fine.
They enjoyed it so much they asked to buy a season pass!
Quaint maritime village, with 17 historic & recreated structures, a boardwalk & a wetlands trail.
Outstanding! My children (11 and 7) loved all the hands on exhibits- especially the typewriter and the sand boxes. This whole site is an absolute treasure for education and preservation. Having a replica of the lighthouse is such a special treat. It's clear that a lot of heart and soul went into curating each exhibit on the property. Having the games, crafts, and admission included in the cost for the boat tour was a godsend for a family on a budget. My kids loved every aspect of our adventure and didn't want to leave when it was time to go. All of the Halloween touches were so much fun!! This was our first visit and we all fell in love with the seaport so we'll definitely be back!

Visited Tuckerton Seaport for the first time and was really intrigued by what they had to offer from their informative and interactive museum, plenty of options for souvenirs at the gift shop, and the expansive grounds to wander and explore.

Even though that I'm not an actual resident of Tuckerton, nor New Jersey, I have to admit that I was astonished by the extensiveness of knowledge here at the Tuckerton Seaport Museum. Having come to visit with a close friend of mine during a vacation, I was able to visit several exhibits, indoors and outdoors, and got a glimpse into the local area's history, legacy, and importance as a community. The staff is kind, courteous, and knowledgeable, and we're able to help me with all my needs. The Seaport is a very ideal place to go with children since most of the exhibits and tour groups include fun activities to captivate and educate young minds while teaching them about the local history. Right at the front entrance of the building is a quaint gift shop with modest curios and gifts for the kids. Next door is a lovely spot for breakfast throughout the day, at the Union Market. The sight from the lighthouse is impressive, and I'm sure it'll make your day if you're looking for a place to visit with the family! I certainly did.

We treated ourselves to a Valentine's dinner here, and it did not disappoint. The Home Grown Wine flight had some of the best wines I've ever tasted. The Shamong Red Reserve was my absolute favorite, with a thick viscosity, rich tones, and an absolute perfect sweetness. The Chateaubriand; a roast sized filet mignon cut, cooked medium rare, was tender beyond words, perfectly seasoned, and an absolute treat with the potato au gratin. It was perhaps in my top 3 favorite steaks I've ever had. The NY Cheesecake was sadly sold out. It looked perfect from what I saw. Hopefully, we can try it one day. Overall, an excellent meal. Can't wait to come here again.

Surflight Theatre is a community venue located in Beach Haven, NJ that showcases a variety of classic plays, concerts, musicals and children's theatrical shows. The theater recently hosted a successful comedy night featuring both an impressive warm-up comedian and an engaging headliner who had previously opened for Dr. Oz. This event provided much-needed laughter during the pandemic and was enjoyed by all attendees. Surflight Theatre is truly a gem on the New Jersey shore where visitors can experience exceptional performing arts entertainment.
Attended the comedy night and it was a magnificent catharsis to laugh in the midst of the pandemic. The warm-up comedian, a woman, was really fine and she was on for about 40 minutes and then the headliner, who had been the warm-up act for dr. Oz, was delightful , and his delivery was really smooth, and he used facial expression well, with a lot of stories. The comedy nights are a lot of fun. If you're in town don't miss em.😁

I am an ex employee of the theater. I worked there this past season until Oct 28th which was a good season. The Artistic Director and Assistant Artistic Director Steve Steiner and his wife Gail Andersonet me go on October 28th without notice of why. Due to my developmental disability that I have they treated me poorly and destroyed my beliefs in the theater and the people who still work there will be disappointed. Be advised that the Surflight Theater may not survive another season. I am very upset with the Surflight Theater. That is all.

I went here with a group of family members and kids to see Cinderella. The play was adorable, fun, and a bit interactive. Surprisingly it kept my 2 year old boy engaged. Only 1 hour long was the perfect timing. The actors were great. Would highly recommend.

It is truly amazing and inspiring that after all this theater has been through in the past years, hurricane, Covid, lack of funding, has emerged even better for the challenges! The quality of the presentations, actor/singers and shows, it presents, it really is amazing. Credit also has to go to the management, staff and volunteers who have put all their efforts into bringing live theater to a rural/summer time community all year long, as well as all the work that has been put into a historical building and theater! If you haven't already visited the Surflight theater, you'll be pleasantly surprised by your first visit and all future visits! Please check them out and enjoy the show! By the way, the new seats are a great addition!

Surflight Theatre offers wonderful productions at very reasonable prices. We watched the Wizard of Oz and enjoyed every second of it. It was good ol' family fun.

The New Jersey Maritime Museum is a remarkable exhibit centered around the nautical theme. The museum houses an impressive collection of shipwreck discoveries, photographs, navigation equipment, and other rare artifacts that showcase the rich maritime history of Long Beach Island. It is well-maintained and staffed by knowledgeable curators who are friendly and eager to assist visitors.

By far the best museum in the area. Free admission (they ask for donations at the door with a tip jar), and they even offer copies of the informative DVDs they play around the museum for free.

So we stumbled upon this by accident and are glad we did. My nephew and his then fiance (who I might add was 9 months pregnant and due any day) were supposed to get married on the beach, but it was way too cold out so they asked if it was okay to do it here.
Glad it worked out like that cause this place is amazing. So many local and non local artifacts and there is no way you see it all in one visit. Each time I promise you will find something you didn't see on the last visit. The time, dedication, knowledge, and passion of these people that give the tours are unbelievable. You can tell they do this for the love and the history of it, and to keep the stories and the past from not fading away is truly amazing. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS AND MAKE IT A STOP PROMISE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Sorry no other pictures of the museum only a video of the ceremony but do not want to post that. I'll try to add some soon.

What a fantastic museum!!! It is free -but you're you to want to give a donation, it is that good. You can touch almost everything, they have snacks for kids, it you have any questions they are readily answered by the owner. This all started out as a private collection, and it is all curated with love and great care. My 2.5 year old loved it - though this is not a "kids museum" there was plenty to entertain a toddler for an hour on a rainy day. They are open basically all the time which is great. You can also inquire for private events and meet ups. And they have a lot of rate books for research, if that is something you are interested in!

This is a very nice and well maintained park. there are a variety of dirt hiking trails and stone/clay trails. The trails do a nice job following the river and lake that winds through the park.
Pros. nice long walking trials. We walked for about 4 miles exploring the whole park. The main/long loop is probably about 2 miles. There are a bunch of cool bridges that span the small valleys that the river runs at the bottom of. There is also a long floating bridge that goes across the pond that is cool. There is a good variety of scenery, dense woods, river, lake, waterfall, and there are some historical houses. It appeared that you could do some boating activities.
Cons. The northwest part of the park has trails that are short, and if you kind of wonder you end up on private property. It could use some better signage. We went on a weekend in the winter so it wasn't super crowded, but I could see it getting very crowded in the summer. As a biker, I would not recommend this for biking. It is too crowded.

The waitresses were super welcoming and provided great recommendations. We ended up getting the French dip, French onion, and wings to share with my wife. She ordered a pasta dish.
The food came out quick and I must say..... AMAZING. The French onion was easily within the top 3 that I've ever tried (and I always get French onion if its available). The wings were massive and juicy, perfectly cooked.
Overall, if you want a spot with excellent drinks, good food, and a fun environment to sit down and relax.... look no further.

My wife and I stopped for an early Friday dinner. First time here. Service was great and good was delicious. Came out fast. Clam chowder was hot and had great taste. Dinner was Pressure Fried Chicken for wife and Country Chicken over pasta for me. Serving size was large and food hot and tasty. Will go back if in the area.

The place is conveniently placed with decent parking. The inside has a bar and restaurant seating area. They have a plethora of canned and bottled beer to choose from. There is also a good selection of drafts beers from the tap. The staff was pleasant and the food came fast, as I ordered my meal to go. The wings were just okay but they were HUGE. The place is worth a try.

So, this is my SECOND time at John and Molly’s. It was packed. The hostess greeted us, looked around and made a table available for us, all within 5 minutes. That’s service!
I ordered the Rodeo burger, medium rare with two huge onions, jack cheese, (I think), bacon and it comes with, fries and their coleslaw.
Outstanding! There was a certain sweetness from a sauce they used with the bacon that I loved. The fries were, like the first time, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and their coleslaw has a certain sweetness that I like.
My wife ordered the Fish and Chips. She gave a bite of the Fish which was cod, and it was so good. Crispy and tender.
My son had the Wisconsin burger, medium rare with different cheeses and he absolutely loved it.
My daughter enjoyed her crab cake sandwich, which was nice and light.
The service was as expected - excellent. Such an enjoyable experience to go to John and Molly’s. Great food, great service, great atmosphere and great for the family.
Remember to tip your waiter/waitress generously. They work very hard.
8/23/23 - 3rd time here and they NEVER disappoint. Seated right away and served right away. Such a great atmosphere. Service was excellent as was the food. The manager came around to ask how things were. You want a great place to eat? Go to John and Molly’s!

John and Molly's has a great variety of daily specials that keep every visit exciting. The service is fantastic and the food is pretty decent too. We tried a few things, including the pork cutlet, which I have to say was fantastic. My wife got the corned beef and she enjoyed it as well.

Stopped in tonight for dinner and finally tried the Carnivore Steak special. Wow! Without a doubt one of the best steaks I've ever had. Cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully.

Still one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Had the roast pork sandwich today ( classic style ). It was incredible!

John & Molly's has become my go to spot for lunch on Fridays. Love it!! Bailey and Courtney at the bar are awesome and the food is always excellent.
Moving to the area and have been following John & Molly's on social media for a while. Finally had a chance to stop in for lunch today and we weren't disappointed. To start they have an incredible list of craft beer options. Food menu is extensive and has something for everyone. I had the patty melt and my wife had the French dip. Food was excellent. This will definitely be a regular spot for us once we've moved.

John and Molly's Tavern has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, albeit very cramped inside. There is a large, spacious bar, but the main dining area is small and tight, resulting in the number of tables being very close to one another. (We were there for dinner on a Saturday evening). Moving throughout the restaurant while at capacity can be challenging.
That being said, the food was decent and on par with what you'd expect from a local bar/tavern. My Manhattan Clam Chowder was absolutely phenomenal!! The Broiled Center Cut Pork Chops were cooked just right and loaded with flavor! The staff was very friendly and on point with our order!
John and Molly's is worth a shot if you've never been, but I'd recommend going on a weeknight when the place isn't as crowded.

BEWARE!!!
Both driveways in are on corner rt537/Woodlane, and cars turning from rt537 onto Woodlane Rd may not understand you are turning into the John & Molly's. I know I almost got rear-ended!
Note: Theree is a 90-minute limit on tables Friday and Saturday nights.

No wait at the time of this visit. Seating tight.
Noisy bar activity.
Wait, staff is pleasant and attentive.
Food is tasty and satisfying, especially the shepherd's pie. Portion size is small, especially potato.
Lots of parking and clearly visible from the street.
Respectfully
Update:
Recent visit.
Once again, fantastic steak! Charbroiled exactly the way I wanted it!
Loaded Fries appetizer is enough for four.
When the table is not big enough for one appetizer and two entrees to fit, you know the portion sizes are big and more than some is going home.
Changed review from 3 stars to 4 due to definite portion size increase. Not 5 because the atmosphere is still a little bit too loud.
Everyone has their own experience and opinion, this is mine.

Viking Village, originally a lobster co-op in the 1920s, has evolved into a bustling commercial fishing port with added attractions such as clothing, crafts and collectibles shops, and food vendors housed in repurposed fishing shacks. Visitors can enjoy free dock tours on Fridays or simply stroll around to admire the colorful fishing fleet. The village sponsors commercial fishing tours where visitors can learn about fish catching and processing.
Viking Village is one of the hidden gems of LBI. I love perusing the little cottage-like stores and admiring the many fishing boats. And this time, I was lucky enough to catch a fishing boat unloading! The sunset cruises that leave from here are also well worth the price.
If you’re looking for a more local LBI experience, Barnegat Light has so much to offer and Viking Village is definitely a must!

Took a ride to Viking Village expecting to see a bunch of shops, get something to eat something to drink, but the food vendors were closed and it was a beautiful day. Some of the shops were closed also. surprised with the Labor Day weekend upon us. the shops that were open were cordial and inviting, very interesting merchandise to sort through.

Waste of money what a tourist trap. The only fun activity was the archery. But they only allow you to shoot 3 arrows that’s it. Even though there was nobody else in line. He even said that he does not want to retrieve the arrows when we said we would immediately leave the minute anybody showed up in line. He said that is the policy only 3 arrows.

Where to the fish and scallops that you eat come from? Viking Village is a commercial fishing dock. One of the last in NJ. Fully operations. Many boats and captains. Fridays at 10:00 AM they provide a tour to the public. Really GREAT.

Ok so if anyone has ever seen The perfect storm the little area reminds me of that fishing dock. A couple of little shops but believe it or not I always find good deals on Mens Costa and Jetty stuff always visit the village on my visits and chat with the boat crews coming in.

Nice shops and a great free tour on Fridays. They had a local chef who demonstrated how to properly cook dry scallops, which were delicious. A must visit if you're on the island.
Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is a picturesque destination that boasts a coastal forest, hiking trails, and a lighthouse offering sweeping vistas. Despite the ongoing renovation of the famed landmark, visitors can still enjoy the park's serene surroundings along with fishing opportunities. The place is popular among families and photographers alike due to its tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural beauty.
Love visiting and walking around. The lighthouse was recently renovated and it is open for the public (for free!) while the park is open. Nice view from up above.
Walking by the water and then on the jetty is so relaxing and pretty.
Highly recommended on a sunny day.
Can get crowded sometimes (especially by people that come to fish).
There are also restrooms that are in decent shape, as well as picnic tables.

I like these kinds of places that overlook inlets by the ocean, and the Barnegat Light end has always been a nice place to stop. This 2022 season the famous lighthouse will be covered in a maintenance wrapper and can't be climbed, but otherwise the park will be open. It's also a good area to drop a line in the water and test your luck/skill. My recent visit was right before the seasonal summer schedule starts. So there weren't many other people around.

Great place to visit and watch shore birds fly around. I specifically go for photography, but it’s a great place to take a walk and chill. Right now the Lighthouse is undergoing renovations so just be aware if you are going to photograph it. Also, nesting shorebirds area is NOT a place to walk your dogs! See photos.

The park is awesome, great day trip. Great views from the top of the light house! Not so hard to go up, if you are worried, as I was, to make it to the top, just take your time. There are little landings along the way of the spiral stairs to take a break. Enjoy.

If you are traveling to LBI, Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is a must! The lighthouse itself is well preserved and quite a sight! To make it even more exciting, if you’re up for the challenge, you can walk up to the very top! The climb to the top, does take some perseverance, but there are a few spots to stop and rest off of the spiral staircase. The breeze and the view from above is breathtaking!
Megan M — Google review
Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is truly a sight to behold. The lighthouse itself stands as a majestic landmark, and the opportunity to climb its 217 stairs to the top is an adventure in itself. The park offers more than just the lighthouse, though. There is a pier where you can enjoy fishing, as well as a scenic sanded area perfect for picnicking and enjoying the outdoors. If you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting this beautiful park. It's a place where you can immerse yourself in natural beauty and create lasting memories.

Old Barney it's a great place to visit whatever time of year it is. The climb up the lighthouse steps is a bit challenging, but I was able to do it at 70 years of age. Worth the effort! The park also has a visitor center, trails through the maritime Forest and dunes, fishing from the jetty rocks, or just enjoying sightseeing and the smell of the sea, along side of the awesome Barnegat inlet!

Just beautiful! Open for climbing 9am -3pm. There is a $3 fee to climb the 217 steps, but it's worth it. The view is breathtaking. The parking is free, and is open till 8pm. Bathrooms are clean. Picnic tables and pavilions are available if you pack a lunch. Also, a maritime forest trail to walk. There are a few places nearby to eat, grab ice cream or mini golf .... It's definitely worth the trip.

History:
Barnegat Lighthouse, locally known as “Old Barney,” is situated on the precarious northern tip of Long Beach Island, NJ, and was originally lit in 1859. Coastal vessels heading to and from New York relied heavily on the lighthouse to protect them from the point’s dangerous shoals, swift currents, and shifting sandbars.
Visitors can climb 217 steps to the top of this maritime specimen for a breathtaking panoramic view of Island Beach, Barnegat Bay, and Long Beach Island.
Lighthouse is not the only thing here, there are also a couple of activities that you can do while you are here
Maritime Forest Trail - The self-guided loop trail is 0.2 miles long, with forest, and migratory birds. Interpretive signs explain the birds and plants you may see during your stroll.
Fishing – If fishing is your game, be sure to bring your gear and head to the bulkhead near the picnic area
Bird watching, picnics, and more...
A few blocks away, you can visit the Barnegat Light Museum, which we didn’t have the opportunity to see but it’s still worth checking out
If you were picturing an area of a lighthouse with beautiful glistening blue-green water, then visiting the Barnegat Lighthouse should be a stop you should make down here in southern New Jersey.

This is the 2nd tallest lighthouse in New Jersey. With 217 steps to the top. Great view of the ocean. It's located at the end of Long Beach Island. I just went on Saturday Jan 13th and didn't have to purchase a ticket to go up. But I think previous during the summer time you might have to previous a ticker or make a donation I can't really remember.

At the end of road, drive past and you are in the channel! Free State Park. NJ Coastal Heritage Trail. Open 8am to 8pm. Lighthouse hours vary. No drones, alcohol or smoking. Plenty of parking. Parking lot and grounds are handicap friendly but not the recently restored lighthouse. Bike trails, sheltered panic tables, bathrooms, nature trail, fishing and more. View from top of the Lighthouse is worth the 217 steps!

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid! I’ve taken field trips here and have come here with family. It’s so fun and nice here. I love the rocks that you can hop along to the end of the beach. We went up the lighthouse since it was off-season and free. It’s amazing exercise, and an amazing view at the top (pictured here).

Went there with the family and friends. Hung out for a bit just to chill. Nice spot for pictures, fishing and just plain relaxing. We brought our dogs along. Unfortunately, they weren't permitted on the beach. Still, the spot is still worth going to.
Longtime sanctuary offers a home for a wide range of abandoned & abused domestic & exotic animals.
So good to see such a loving place. We drove one hr and half and it was well worth it. The rescue zoo had most of the animals there, tiger, bear, monkey, deer, lion, you name it. Perfect for kids or animal lovers. Keep up the great work!

This was an incredible experience for me and my family as big cat enthusiasts. Being able to admire these majestic animals up close was truly unforgettable. It's evident that they're well-loved and cared for. Despite the park's small size, the range of rescued animals is impressive. I highly recommend visiting. Plus, at just $10 per ticket, not only do you get a fantastic experience, but you also contribute to the welfare of these animals.

I feel peace knowing all the animals are safe. Many are from closing zoos with no habitat to go to. Others were an attempt to domesticate a wild animal. It is a wonderful place to see them at peace and not in a concrete stall. All corals are replicated to their natural environment as much as they can be.

My wife, 4 year old, 2 year old, a bunch of friends, and I went to the Popcorn Park Animal Refuge in Forked River, NJ yesterday and had a great experience. It was our first time, however, our friends have been a number of times. We had such a great time. Not too much walking. Kids love it and are already asking to go back. Coolest thing might be that you are less than 5 feet away from bears, cougars, lions, and tigers. Parking and refuge are all dirt so be prepared to get a little messy. Can't wait to go back!

I love this place. Taking my son is always a good time. My family used to bring me here all the time as a kid, so this place is a tradition to stop by in nice weather. The entrance fee is cheap. My son got in for free and my ticket was about $7. The park is very clean. I personally think the cages are a little small for some of those animals. But I hope that they are being treated well behind the scenes. Because it is a safe place for animals needing rescuing.

Came today with the kiddos, an inexpensive way to connect with animals and nature. The whole place was pretty clean and the animals seem loved. There are not allowing you to feed them popcorn at this time. Only negative is a lot of exhibits were empty.
Raylyn Tupper — Google review
This place was so awesome. I wasn't sure how it was going to be, But it did not disappoint. The kids loved it the cards outside of the cages were super educational. The one complaint I do have is that the bathrooms were really far. And if you're going with multiple kids especially a baby. It's hard because there steps into a trailer. Other than that I thought that it was a great place for an easy outing.
Angela Tonuzi — Google review
Fun place for all ages. You can get close to the animals. They have big cats and farm animals. Reptile house was closed. Clean and wide pathways and plenty of popcorn to feed the animals. The bears only like peanuts though😆 Take your kids. For 5 bucks you can't go wrong

Knowing that rescued animals have a refuge and in turn, contribute to the enjoyment and education of both children and adults is wonderful. We didn’t see any turtle, probably because they’re relocated due to the cold temperatures in this fall season. Similarly, the monkeys were hiding inside their shelters, so we didn’t see any. Nevertheless, the most memorable moment was the majestic roar of the lion. Despite my daughter's efforts to capture a video, she unfortunately missed the opportunity. The peacock's stunning display of its feathers was truly enchanting.
Parking is free. We paid our entrance fee on site because I couldn’t find a place to pay on their website/online. Food and drinks are not allowed. Cold drinks are sold inside. No cafe or food stall. So it’s better to eat and drink prior to going in. It takes less than 2 hours to walk around. There’s a small gift shop. The staff is pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed our visit here.

A local family friend recommended a stop here with our 3 year old. We're so glad that we stopped by. The zoo is the perfect size for a 3 year old to explore (not too big and not too small) and had lots of animals for her to see up close. Her favorites were Seven the horse and the new lions.
We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

My partner and I had such a lovely time at Laurita Inn. We weren't sure what to expect as this was our first time at a bed & breakfast. Our host, Denise, did not disappoint! We stayed in room #9 and it was absolutely beautiful. From the vintage feel of the place to the view of the horses from our balcony, we were so pleased. Denise was extremely helpful and accommodating during our stay. We had wanted a cheese board brought to our room pretty last minute while we enjoyed Laurita Winery and she made sure that was waiting for us when we got back. The breakfast was delicious, the common rooms were so cute and the grounds of the Inn were picturesque . They even provided their guests a list of nearby locations to visit. We visited the New Egypt Flea Market where we spent nearly two hours walking around and enjoying. Overall, we had such an amazing time and the service was outstanding. We can not wait to come back!

I stayed at the Inn for a night before my mother’s funeral. I was very glad I did. The inn itself is lovely and the room I stayed in was nicely appointed. The inn also offers lots of space in its common areas for lounging and nice snacks.
But I thought the best part of the inn was its innkeeper, Janis, who was very kind to me. The breakfast she makes is quite wonderful: the eggs not only weren’t rubbery they were tender and thoughtfully accompanied; her skill with pastry came through in the apple cake. I really wish I had more reason to visit New Egypt!

I really enjoyed our stay here overall. Room 8 was very nice with a balcony, gas fireplace and jetted tub. It was peaceful and relaxing. Minor things that I would change are the firmness of the bed, the old quirky show head, and how thin the soap/shampoo/conditioner were. The included homemade breakfast was good (pumpkin bread, half waffle with Carmel maple syrup, pork roll and a small amount of smoothie), but I would have liked an egg component. I recommend getting coffee from the Kuerig though, as the pot of coffee was pretty weak. Overall great, I hope to stay again.
Seaside Park Beach is a vibrant sandy beach accompanied by an extensive boardwalk featuring numerous shops, restaurants, and amusement arcades. The parking options available range from free to paid lots. For those looking for accommodations in the vicinity, the Four Bedroom Beach Home is a great option. Compared to its neighboring Seaside Heights, Seaside Park Beach offers a more serene atmosphere without compromising on the beauty of the location.
I spent every week of Summer 2019 at the beach in Seaside Park. Best time to go was between 9am-noon if you want to beat the crowds. So relaxing to lay in the sand and listen to the surf.🌊☀️

Nice beach just be prepared to pay a lot of money to sit on the sand. The daily pass is now $13 and you also have to pay to park unless you want to walk a few blocks and park in the neighborhood. The beach is typically crowded in this area but the beach is large enough to accommodate the crowd. If you like it quieter head closer to Island Beach State Park or go as earlier in the day.

This amazing place on the Jersey Shore is definitely the best place to be in the spring and summer months. They have everything, games, rides, attractions, restaurants, fishing, crabbing, water park, gorgeous views, fireworks, live music, festivals, amazing people, soft clean sandy beaches, a beautiful ocean on one side and a beautiful bay on the other side, sunrise, sunset, moonrise, Ferris Wheel, boardwalk food, amazing people, frog bog, jet skiing, surfing, kayaking, boating and so much more. You will never forget your time spent on the Seaside Heights NJ Boardwalk. They have done so much to the area in the last few years and really made it a place to bring the family. I can't thank the owners of casino Pier and all the town workers enough for the many amazing memories I will cherish forever.

As a New Jersey native I can't get enough of the Jersey shore but I was worried about coming back after the pandemic, nothing to worry about. The safety protocols in place and your own precautions are all respected and the employees make you feel comfortable enough to enjoy your day. We took a drive to show some out of town friends how much the shore has kept the boardwalk goodies in tact while renovating some local motels/ attractions...... we were blown away by the service in Casino Pier with our bartender Janelle, she truly made our Sunday getaway more memorable. She suggested the best drinks and was so friendly, we felt right at home. Can't think of a better way to spend your Sunday than taking a stroll on the boardwalk, taking in the view of the clean beach, and getting a rum bucket while watching college basketball and playing zombie shooting games.

The pier is in great condition, the pizza is expensive but looks really good, the beaches cost 10$ per person to go onto but man it was clean and refreshing for me; no trash that i saw anywhere except one water bottle cap. Had some vendor make some vinegar salt fries like when i was a kid, but they turned out like vomit. Had some soft serve ice cream on a cone w/sprinkles that was great. Rode the ferris wheel, it was cool but didn't last long. Parked in a lot close that cost 15$ all day. I recommend this place but man am i fed up with the crook carnies w/their super expensive rigged games and arcades. When as a society are we gonna just say no more space for these rejects that prey on children? Say yes to the clean beach n food here, and NO to the loser carnies.

my kid was injured on the bumper cars as there is unpadded metal bar on the sides situated right by the child's head. Shortly after we got off, I witnessed same thing happen to another kid where their head smacked the metal bar. In hope of promoting a safer experience for future riders, I filled out an incident report but they refused to provide me with a copy and seemed to not care. Stay away from the bumper cars as they are not safe for kids due to shotty padding and exposed metal close to childs head.
Read owners response, in which it was said NJ state has inspected the ride. Here's my response. just because the state inspected it, doesnt mean its safe, and doesnt excuse your ride from injuring people.. My picture below shows clearly you where the metal is. The ride should have better protection where my picture shows, it is quite obvious. As this is now been subjected to your attention , you are open to future litigation in case of injury to others. I strongly advise you to take a look at the information I'm providing to you and fix the ride.

Visited on a snowy day in the winter, but once you get inside , you would never know. Great friendly service, food was good. Claw machines are always great fun. We do miss the carousel, but the remodeling looks great.

The Waterpark itself is pretty awesome and it will keep kids busy for a few hours. There’s a shack bar for adults to sit at and have some drinks and I loved that. I wish I knew his name, but our bartender( Australian accent) was very friendly and fun. I give this place 4stars for their inability for to accommodate my handicapped boyfriend. I want to be clear that we didn’t have a problem paying for the spectator pass, but I wish there were other options for people that can’t participate in anything. I asked before entering if there was any options because my boyfriend isn’t able to walk let along stand up too long so he won’t be able to do anything. After talking to a very young high school student whom then had her manager, another high school student come over , we were told the best price they could give him was the spectator pass. For individuals with disabilities it would be nice to see acknowledgment and accommodation. I don’t expect a free pass, but a discounted pass is ideal within reason. It’s just unfortunate to have to pay for something when there is nothing you can participate in. The inability to stand and walk is challenging but having acknowledgement can often be rewarding. Please revisit my recommendation so future individuals that come in wheelchair feel a little more respected. The food isn’t that great,but that’s not surprising seeing it’s a water park. Overall great place to take your kids and I recommend checking out their website for specials before arriving.

Casino pier is a great place to visit. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. Even though the weather was a little gloomy parts of the day, all the rides were open and functional. The lines were very short during the day. Everything there was clean, neat and well- maintained. Alot of the rides were new as well. There are great rides for kids over 36 inches tall. There are a few thrill rides as well that are nice.
Large, vibrant amusement park featuring fast, high-tech roller-coasters, wildlife areas & more.
Incredible park if you are a roller coaster enthusiast. The ride selection is top notch for Six Flags. Nearly every ride is awesome. I could complain about the heat in the summer, but that’s not the park’s fault lol. Hopefully Six Flags keeps showing this park the love it deserves.

Get there early for the Halloween days (11-11:30am) and ride all the coasters with no line! I prefer Great Adventure to Hershey Park because I find the coasters smoother and the waits aren't as bad if you're not at peak time/season. The ski lift thing is perfect to get from one end of the park to the other quickly while giving you a view of the whole park. I do wish their app had ride wait times. The spooky Halloween stuff at night was awesome, the costumes, masks, and laser shows were well done.

Honestly i never know there's a theme park near from NYC, after saw a posting from someone, finally i try it by myself, and it was amazing! The price is a quite cheap only $40, then for a roller coaster lover, you can be here all day long and repeat that ride. A lot of choices and definately i'll be back again..

As a season pass holder this year it was great to take advantage of the holiday lights and the ride offerings were outstanding! The cooler weather helped keep the park less packed. Truly a treat to experience such short lines or any lines for that matter. There were several live shows that were fun too. Definitely worth the trip!

Nice and quiet on a crisp winter day, we loved the roller coasters (nitro is great, as are green lantern and Superman). Lines were super short. Only slightly annoying thing is that they seem to shut down half the rides in the winter, so you’re really only getting a small fraction of the park. Also, everything feels just a bit dated and run down…the new devil coaster is great, but the rest just feel like they’ve been there for decades and the rust and rough edges show through. Will go back, it’s just definitely not a polished experience like Disney, universal, etc

We visited the park on the first week it’s open for season 2022. We bought the season pass which includes parking , safari and multiple trips to park. I highly recommend going to safari it’s 1 hr 20 min long and you get to see elephant, zebra, giraffe, lion, tiger , kangaroos and many other animals. Kids enjoy a lot. The giraffe gives the car wash as well and charged us the wind wiper of our car ( don’t stand too close to giraffe) . The park was clean and all rides are fun.

We went as our senior trip, but unfortunately not as grad nite because of the Canada wild fire. So we didn’t get to do what we planned, but it was still fun as the wait time for a Monday school day was either no wait or about 10 minutes. So fun as it was my first time and we got to do most of the rides. Unfortunately Kingda Ka was closed but I heard that it’s closed frequently because of weather conditions, but you should still try out other rides like the El Toro.

Though a little expensive, this Six Flags caters to every age group and every thrill level. My family has a couple of thrill seekers and a couple of people who fear roller coasters for their lives and yet everyone can find something that matches their interest, with a couple of meet-in-the-middle rides like the Dark Knight and Skull Mountain. Plus the gondolas give a stellar view of the park. I’d bring food or eat outside of the park because food prices can be steep but other than that, top-tier theme park!

There were a number of really enjoyable rides, and the weekday ride queue was not very long. Finding rides was a bit tasking, and using the apps navigation was slightly helpful, but the app needs work. Navigation should update without having to repeatedly click next and click the direction (use the app and you will see). Also, the fast pass ride section should also link to the navigation. We found that six flags national number and chat links to make life as expensive as possible and for that reason we might stop our season passes. The New Jersey park staff was very accommodating and helpful. They did everything they could to ease the cost for us, even though our home park is New England.
I almost gave lower stars because of the Six Flags national team, and the silly "home park" vs "visiting park" rules, but the Jersey location is not to blame for poor corporate management. Six Flags may be loosing a customer next year, but it is not because of the New Jersey Six Flags. Six Flags Corporate, I might have some suggestions that will help you increase profits without raising your prices. 2 days and the safari cost us over $2,500 even though we are platinum season ticket holders. Even though this is not our home park, that's a bit steep.

We went for fright fest. It was not as fun or as exciting as it used to be. There were not many of the monsters out. There weren’t any activities for the kids to do. The only candy they handed out had peanuts which shouldn’t have been given out due do peanut allergies in some children/adults. The park reeked of weed. Very disappointed with this last visit.

Always a great time. Beautiful day and we picked a perfect day when the park wasn't crowded. Not many lines and went on every ride. Fun for all ages.
Only one critique, the inside the park is pretty pricey. It cost $140+ to feed 6 people lunch.
Also, parking is up to $40. We are already paying a premium for the tickets. Parking can be cheaper in my opinion.

Overall good experience, few of the rides were shut down but reopened later on. The weather was very cold today but the rain didn't until 5pm. The best part, barely any wait in line for the rides. The one day admission pass is 39.99 however a shirt sold inside is 39.99. The summer pass which runs until labor day: Easter Sale $69.99. Buying tickets online is cheaper than purchasing at the park. The military discount is the same as the currently posted single day pass $39.99.

A great place for kids and adults entertainment .
A lot of varieties, parking lots available.
Decorating for Halloween 🎃 really scary .
A lot of people coming in to enjoy 😉 their favourite time.

I tried to ask them but I didn’t receive any response.

It was fun for my 13 and 14 year old However I didn't like the fact that we pay a $110 for each child for the fast pass and still had to wait for about 9-19 minute he in line to get in some of the rides. And We got on one Ride where you had to leave your personal belongings on the side so it doesn't get wet and somebody's wallet was stolen when he came back from the ride . I feel so bad for the gentleman he had 2 small kids with him and he lost his wallet. With that being said my boys had fun. But I wouldn't recommend 6 flags for smaller kids.

Been going to Great Adventure since I was in diapers and it's always a blast!!! PRIDE NIGHT WAS THE BEST!!! Fright Fest was fun as always!!! I just wish there were more shows like the old days when you was able to dance with Bugs Bunny and see awesome break dancers, singers and magicians but above all still hands down my favorite theme park ever!!! Especially if you love thrill rides!!! Can't wait for 2024!!!

A fun day at six flags as part of a corporate outing! We arrived at opening and enjoyed an almost empty park - no lines - until about noon. Minimal parking and security lines to get in and out of the park, even with re-entry.
Foods options are okay. Definitely a relief after a day of running around. Lots of your classic American foods and sweets.
Pro tip: bring an empty water bottle into the park and refill it at the water fountains located throughout the park! Colder water can be filled by food courts or restaurants.
The water park is separate from the amusement park and safari park itself, so it was disappointing to see that the water rides were still not opened. Got lucky that El Toro reopened the day we were there! They didn't advertise this on the app or site but season ticket holders had early access to the reopening!

I went during bring a friend for $20 weekend. I'm a pass holder and just went to the ticket booth and bought a ticket for my friend. It took 5 minutes. It was a nice slow day. However, that means they only run 1 train for each ride. It was beautiful weather and we had a nice day. We were able to get on 9 rides. We got there at 1 and left at 7.

Water park with twisty slides, raft drops & a large wave pool, plus a lazy river & splash area.
One of my favorite waterparks! Great place to spend a day with your kids. Buying a ticket online in advance will save you time and money and getting one ticket per family with unlimited drinks is the best option! You'll save a ton of money on soft drinks. The place is packed with ppl on weekends so going there during the weekdays is definitely a better option especially if you get there in by 11am which is when the park opens. You'll then be able to enjoy more rides with spending less time waiting in the line

This should be one of the must visit place if you are trying to look for a family or friends day outing near New York. For a hot summer day the water park really gives you an opportunity to chill down. The rides are fun but there’s a long line to get in to one and I feel that really kills most of your time.
I really loved the moving pool all around the park. You can just get on a tube and let yourself go and relax.
I would suggest to take a splash protector for your phone if you want to capture the great moments around the water park. They usually over charge if you buy the protector from the park. It’s better to order it from Amazon before visiting the place

Nice Water Park! Be prepared to rent a floaty for the Lazy River on a crowded day, or either walk🤷🏾♀️ lines weren’t to Bad . Overall we had a fun day. Clean and a lot to do with Toddlers.

The park itself is great though three of the bigger attractions were closed including the lazy river. The food was exorbitantly expensive and even with the meal plan for the membership something still have to be paid for.
The little kids area was closed so we went to the bigger kids area and the kids there were uncontrolled the parents weren't paying attention to the kids and my 3-year-old daughter ended up getting kicked in the eye.
Overall the good outweigh the bad and we had a fun time but there's definitely things that need to be changed in the park. And people and lifeguards need to pay way more attention to the kids before someone gets seriously injured.

We went there on cloudy day on purpose to avoid lines. So, the park was not crowded at all. Some lines were less than 10 minutes waiting time. Only one line to a slide was so slow and we gave up queueing. We also managed to get promotion, but 2 tickets and get 1 for free. Kids were very happy and thrilled.

Don't bother adding the food to your pass
For one you can only have one meal every three hours and you barely got anything to choose from. You better off packing a
Cooler. Also $35 for a bottle!!! Ridiculous
Also don't go on the weekend if you are really trying to enjoy and get on rides

Bought membership and season passes last week, and went on a saturday. Went there early to avoid crowds and we had a great time. Left by 3pm when people started crowding the area. Will go again this week. Kids had a lot of fun, food was great so far, the area we stayed on had clean water, life guards were present too.

Fun but expensive. Better for children 48 inches or taller. Very limited otherwise. Parking is $40 without a pass so car pool if possible. Not very crowded mid week. Wave Pool is always fun. Season passes are worth it is you plan on going more than 2x in a 12 month period.

We have been to Six flags Great adventure twice and so we really wanted to visit the neighbouring Hurricane Harbor! While it was a fun experience, this park can improve in so many more ways!
The good stuff - The park has fun slides, especially the 75 foot drop slide that is super thrilling! The wave pool and lazy river are designed well too. There are decent food options, even for vegetarians (cheese quesadilla and nachos).
The not so good stuff - The park is not at all prepared to handle crowds. There were no tubes left to ride on most of the rides by mid day. There were so many people cutting the lines that it got annoying! Two or more slides have the same queue due to which the wait times are longer. There are very few restrooms/changing rooms and except at the beginning of the day, they had really long queues throughout.. we finally changed in our car.
Even though we did have fun (water, slides.. who wouldn't?), I don't think we will be visiting Hurricane Harbor again!

I highly recommend to buy a season pass. You have entry to both parks as many times as you want all year. We came on a Saturday and you should definitely get here as early as possible to get good seats. We also weren't aware you can bring your own food and eat anywhere. Alot of picnic tables. The food and drinks can get expensive. Overall it's alot of fun and like I said with the passes you can come all summer. Parking is also included with the passes

It was fun but hyped up more then what it is cracked up to be. Fun for kids, mainly for kids. Perfect if you go on a Monday when less people are there. 3 hrs maybe 4 tops then it’s time to go. It’s good to get some splash of water on you and the get the kids out of the house. Definitely will get som sun for sure.
Don’t recommend when it is super crowded.

My visit to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Water Park in August 2022 was an absolute thrill! This park is a water-lover's paradise. The variety of water slides and attractions left me exhilarated and soaked with excitement.
The lifeguards were vigilant, ensuring a safe experience, and the cleanliness of the park was commendable. I appreciated the ample seating areas and shaded spots to relax between rides.
What sets Hurricane Harbor apart is the incredible atmosphere. It's like stepping into a tropical oasis with palm trees and tropical music playing in the background. It truly feels like a vacation within a day.
I can't forget to mention the food options; they were diverse and delicious. It was the perfect way to refuel before heading back for more fun.
In summary, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Water Park exceeded my expectations. It's an unforgettable experience filled with thrilling rides, a tropical ambiance, and family-friendly fun. I can't wait to return for more aquatic adventures!

This place is great. We bring a cord&a lock to lock up our rental float. Otherwise it will go missing when left unattended. Some rides don’t use a raft and you will have to leave it somewhere. If you want to go get lunch and not worry you should definitely lock it to your chair. We had philly cheesesteak that came with fries for $18. It was tasty and hit the spot. We bring our own drinks in and you can refill your water bottle from a water cooler by the lifeguard station near the kiddy pool. 4out of 5 stars because of the price of the season passes for both parks with parking almost doubled in price from last year. Wish they were reasonable. No idea how families can afford this place. It’s a shame
We visited this temple on our anniversary and it was worth it. We thought we would spend not more than 1 hour. But we ended up spending around 2:30 hrs. It is so peaceful there. And food is awesome,best part is its served hot. They also have small shopping zone where we bought too many thing. Surely coming back here every time i am in this area. Although construction is still going on but its worth it to visit. We also saw too many peacocks there.

What an amazing experience to visit this place. The people and the temple were absolutely amazing. The architecture of this place is just fabulous. Unfortunately the day I visited it was rainy so I could enjoy much of the outside and there is no photography on inside last a certain point. The cafeteria and the store has delicious food and treats. Plenty of well lit parking out front. A 2nd phase will
Be done later this summer and I’ll return for another visit.

Excellent place for a weekend visit who would like to indulge in religious joy. This temple is an example of what ancient architecture and logistics can achieved. Stones from Italy, curved in Gujarat and assembled in New Jersey. Marvelous craftsman’s has poured in their heart and mind to make this temple an excellent place to visit. A complete vegetarian cafe is an added advantage. One should visit this place to enjoy a good afternoon in a religious ambiance.

There are few words that can describe this location beyond: amazing and breathtaking. Everything here (I'm pretty sure) is handcrafted, but the main thing that truly was a sight to behold is the temple that is made of marble. Currently, there is a small temple inside of the building that is made of all hand crafted marble, much of it in huge single pieces that are very intricate and stunning to look at. I've never seen anything like it, it was a fantastic experience. When we visited, they were still constructing what I will only describe as mega-temple that was not yet accessible, but easily visible from the parking lot. I can't wait until that is open (in the fall of 2023 from what an employee told me), and I will definitely be returning to see it!
There is a cafeteria that we skipped because it was packed, but the food smelled delicious. We did, however, stop and grab a dessert from the store that was there, which was very good.
Also, most of, if not all of the employees here were volunteer, which added a very nice touch and atmosphere to the whole area. Everybody truly wanted to be there and help have a great experience

There aren't enough words to describe this place. It's so peaceful, and definitely feels like home. The volunteers there are so welcoming and helpful. Special thanks to a volunteer who gave us a personal tour of the Temple and the structure very informative. The art, the carving on the stones and the Indian history shown through the stone carvings tells you unforgettable stories of ancient India.

One of the coolest experiences I’ve had in my life. Being a Christian from the western world, I didn’t know much about the Hindu religion. Taking the tour, our guide was very knowledgeable and taught us the basics of their beliefs; even related a lot to Christian beliefs. It was a very spiritual experience. I was in complete “awe” with the grandeur of the architecture and fine sculpting. Absolutely breathtaking.

One of the great temple I am fortunate to visit. The main temple, it’s architectural, the beautiful marble carvings and the surroundings are so majestic and breath taking. Till date, the second largest Hindu temple in the whole world. Mesmerizing. With so big a campus, you need some food and they serve delicious foods in reasonable price. It’s not allowed to take photo inside the temple. One must visit in person to experience the majestic part of this temple. Amazing craftsmanship with countless statues which you can’t stop admiring. Expect to spend minimum 2 hrs to enjoy the architecture, photo taking and touring. It will gonna be a must visited place if you are around around New Jersey. We went to visit here from Rocky Hill, Connecticut. A good 3 hours drive. A day well spent with family and friends. So far , there’s no entry fee and expect a good crowd and long queues to enter the temple premises in weekends.

This is a temple for devotees and a museum/visitors spot for atheists who would appreciate the great sculpture work at this place.
There are several BAPS Swaminarayan temples in the Garden state alone and I’m not sure if they can match the vastness and grandeur of this place. This place is almost the size of a State park and they are ensuring every inch of it is being used(still under construction). The parking space can never be filled to 100% (that big) and you can’t miss the humongous statue of lord Swaminarayan near the entrance.
You will be awed at the intricacies of the art work the sculptors have done on the temple’s building and this place will continue to take the breath away all the way through. The deities are beautifully adorned and this temple does not segregate men and women seating, unlike few other BAPS temples.
The cafe sells food and doesn’t have the facility for dine in. There’s an adjoining gifts shop where you get beautiful idols and art works for unbelievably cheap prices.
If you are in Robinsville, this place is a must visit!

Amazing place. You have to visit to appreciate it and I bet you that you will go again and again. Delicate carvings and breathtaking setting brought me into a whole new world. Prayers are so peaceful and calming.
Nice food and friendly folks. Thank you very much for creating heaven on the earth.
And don’t miss the majestic outdoor seating under the array of stone umbrellas.

The second biggest temple in the Country. We visited the temple on a weekend. The temple’s beauty and the architectural details can’t be explained in words. The Temple premise is huge, the main temple is still under construction which may complete in a year. The temple is greatly built and managed. The temple is opened to people belonging to any religion. Temple has ample of parking space for free, once you enter the temple, you will be shown a small video about God Swaminarayan, the next building has a temple ( temporarily) which has really crearive and surprisingly beautiful structures. The temple also has its own cafeteria, where you can have food with better quality and at better price. The whole premise is neat clean and very well maintained

We had a fantastic visit. Do not hesitate to come and be generous when you do. The volunteers are wonderful, everyone is friendly, the food at the cafe is delicious. Marvel at the workmanship, eat at the cafe, shop at the gift shop, and enjoy being welcomed and included in every way. We are so impressed and will come back when the bigger Temple is finished and open. A great family excursion. Worth the trip!

The Akshardham New Jersey Temple showcases stunning architecture and intricate sculptures reminiscent of those found in India. Gratitude goes to the management for constructing this temple beyond India's borders, and appreciation is due to the US government and local community for their support. If you're in the USA, visiting this temple is a serene experience. One suggestion is to display the names of the artists involved in creating this beautiful temple, a practice uncommon in ancient times. Spanning 183 acres, the temple offers free parking for devotees and visitors. Plan to spend 2 to 3 hours exploring.
The management thoughtfully established a cafeteria with a wide array of vegetarian options to cater to various tastes, offering ample seating and reasonably priced meals. Additionally, a shop on-site sells books, idols, worship materials, Indian snacks, and sweets.

YOU MUST GO! If you're a spiritual person by any means the energy in this temple is incredible. The staff is eager to help, and explain things. Just overall feels so nice, magical and it's breathtakingly beautiful. Free admission, so no excuses as to why anyone wouldn't be able to afford it. The floors in the temple are heated, mindblown they thought of everything. Pictures don't do it justice, and seriously if you do have spare time the hours are 11am-8pm everyday except Tuesday. I'd strongly suggest weekday, weekend was so crowded.

This place is a must visit!! Even if you aren't into the spirituality of it, just architecturally, it is beautiful and massive, and the carvings of the marble and artwork are beautiful. This is a very touristy spot now, so parking does fill up, and it can get crowded but definitely worth the trip, no ticket required (free entry).
They also have a sweet shop and a very nice and affordable food court with some amazing dishes to eat.
Get there around lunchtime and stay until it gets dark because it is beautiful at night with all the lights turned on.

Such a beautiful experience. Went on a Saturday afternoon. There was no wait and no need for tickets. The outside area you are able to take pictures of but inside the building you are not allowed to. The inside is even more beautiful than the outside and it's even better that pictures aren't allowed because it truly feels spiritual and gives respect to those individuals going there to pray.

Happy to visit the world's second largest temple- Akshardham. It is so huge with awesome carving. Truly speaking it's a blessed feeling. There is a big parking area just in front of the temple. You can get nice vegetarian food inside the temple with drinking water and clean washroom. It's suitable for old people as well as for kids or toddlers. The place is maintained so well and I felt mesmerized. We had to wait for 10 minutes approx for entry. It will take more than 3 hours to enjoy. I can spend as long as possible. You can do photography but inside the main temple, photography is not allowed. It's a must visit place. I must say architecture at its best ...

Nice architecture but forever seems to be under construction. Visited this temple in 2018 and again yesterday. Still under construction and so much. The inside of the temple is good but they had specific timings for Darshan. The temple was open but couldn't see the deities. They should've updated the timings on Google maps to avoid this issue

Spectacular view of newly built temple and surroundings.. amazing food at cafe.. well managed traffic and so many volunteers to help and guide..but the experience and vibe was like more of a tourist attraction than visiting a temple . so many crowds.. and for whom

Excellent place. Most beautiful temple I have seen outside India. Everyone is welcomed here, friendly staff and volunteers are around for any help. The food served here is also very nice.
Best part is the temple. Each and every pillar is beautifully carved. So many scenes from epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata are there on these pillars to see. A must visit for anyone in New Jersey or nearby states.

The pictures really can't do this place justice to how beautiful it is. I went with my family early Saturday morning and it was not too crowded. All the staff there are super welcoming and helpful. I recommend going to the welcome center first and watching a quick video about the temple and all the different sections/areas they have. The carving work and marble is astonishing ! It was a great experience and I can't wait to see what else they will do with the place.

This is a huge and magnificent Hindu temple located in NJ - it is said to be the largest one outside India. I'm not entitled to assess or validate the religious or moral aspects, so I'm just covering what I
I've seen as a tourist. The place in simply impressive, so huge and so beautiful in every aspect. It took 10 years to be ready - and it's so amazing to follow the construction process by the pictures shown there. Everything was so clean and organized, although there were thousands of people in the place. The entry is free, so it doesn't bother me at all to see a shop selling souvenirs there. Just bear in mind that the place is not complete yet - that's the reason for the 4 stars. But it is definitely worth visiting it.

This was an excellent outing to observe a culture different than mine. A Hindu temple. The architecture was amazing. Your greater by a 45 foot gold staute of a Hindu deity. The inside and outside of the buildings had different kinds of marble hand crafted and sent to the US from India where they were put in place. Amazing attention to details. In the temple, no photos, no shoes and u must cover your arms and legs both men and women. If u have on shorts u will be provided with a long skirt to cover your legs. They have a restaurant with authentic dishes all vegetarian no meat, a grocery store and a gift shop. The campus is beautiful you would not think u were in New Jersey. Watch the 8 min movie about the construction of the buildings and I highly recommend the tour of the facility. The whole experience was free, but you can give a love offering in the boxes provided, at the kiosk or online. I highly suggest going on weekday as they said on weekends they can get up between 10- 20,000 people and they don't do tours then either.

Absolutely a stunning place to come and spend the day. It's still under construction, but everyone can appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that went into constructing this place regardless of your religish beliefs. No shoes or pictures taking is allowed in the temple, but shoe racks are available. All free.

Unbelievably ornate architecture. It’s a must see.
Free admission - donations welcome
Weekends are very busy - try a weekday but Tuesdays are closed.
Volunteers at the site are very friendly and helpful.
We enjoyed seeing this place with kids 10 and 8 and they found it very interesting as well.
The gift store is very nice as well.
Will be definitely coming back during warmer weather.
Quick tip: wear nice socks because you will have to take off your shoes at the temples ☺️

This sprawling temple complex, with its towering spires and intricate carvings, is a must-visit for anyone interested in immersing themselves in the hinduism culture. Wandering through the vast courtyards, I witnessed traditional ceremonies and marveled at the exquisite artwork. While photography is restricted inside the main temple, there are designated areas perfect for capturing family memories.

Breath taking. So majestic. Is really beautiful from outside to inside. We are not allowed to take photo inside the temple. One must visit in person to experience the majestic part of this temple. Amazing craftsmanship. Over 1700+ statue handcraft so detail that you can't stop admiring them. Expect to spend minimum 2hrs here to enjoy the architecture, photo taking and touring. Must come here if you happen to be in New Jersey!
Modern concert venue & ballpark, home to the Lakewood BlueClaws, with bars & food vendors.
Great time to spend with the family watching a baseball game and enjoying fireworks 5 minutes from home, Jersey Blueclaws games are always a good time out, every seat in the whole place is a good view to see the action.

Expensive for tickets. Food is pretty typical, not cheap and eh in general. Drinks are ridiculous. Souvenir cups ($8) are NOT refillable at the food vendor. They blocked access to free water (fountains were blocked and covered) and were charging $2 for tap water by the cup and $5 for bottled water. Disappointing experience overall.

Beautiful well-maintained ballpark with a multitude of activities that will keep even non-baseball fans entertained, including miniature golf. The concourse staff was very friendly.
One down note- mask wearing was way too low. We are STILL in a pandemic.
Kids are NOT vaccinated. It was a sharp contrast with the speed at which ushers chased fans away from the dugouts pre- & post-game, even when players wanted to give autographs from their socially distanced dugout spaces. They even interrupted a socially distanced conversation I was having with our visiting radio announcer.

It was a beautiful night for a ballgame. We were attending for boy scouts night salute for my grandson. The home team played a great game and some of the team showed great future potential. The food court had a sausage vendor that reminded my husband of the Italian street fairs with their sausage and pepper heroes.
The tickets are reasonable and the parking costs 5.00. It is safe and enjoyable area to visit.
