Corson's Inlet State Park is a beautiful natural area located along the oceanfront. It provides various outdoor activities, including fishing, crabbing, hiking, and boating. One of its most notable features is its serene beach where visitors can walk freely without encountering crowds. The park also offers designated parking areas for physically challenged persons. It has been a popular destination for many years due to its picturesque landscapes and recreational opportunities in a peaceful setting.
Short walk to beach dog friendly off season then big open beach for you to walk and enjoy

This is a nice beach and it’s tough to tell where the Ocean City beach ends and the State Park begins. But that doesn’t matter. There’s meter parking, a bathroom and changing room house.
There are discretely marked hiking trails in the state park. The Red trail starts here and about 1 mile into the bush ends and intersects at the yellow trail, which leads to the beach in one direction and back into the bush to the back bay in the other direction.
There are ticks, including the Texas Tick, aka the Lone Star tick, which aggressively seeks out humans. So, wear long pants and sleeves. I found 3 ticks after a 1 hour hike in the bush.

It was a pretty trail, but.... There was waaaaay too much poison oak. One of the trails was okay, but the other was completely overrun with poison oak and other plants, you couldn't walk through there at all if you were wearing shorts. You can keep going on the good trail, just be careful not to touch any poison oak.... or step on any snakes. I saw two snakes, they were small but still too big for comfort. So, overall, good trail but overrun with poison oak, poison ivy, and worst of all, snakes.

Very nice and cool state park. Maps at entrance could be better, though, indicating the trails. Trail maintenance and up keep needs to be better. And trash all over the parking lot.

A beautiful place to walk along the water's edge or follow trails inside the park. If you go, please respect the roped off areas as this a breeding ground for endangered birds.

Gorgeous, quiet beach with awesome walking trails through the dunes. Plan about an hour to walk the trails and then come back on the beach. There are a lot of great photo opportunities and it's a great break from the hectic boardwalk. They offer a guided nature walk on Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening but we were disappointed to show up on the last Tuesday of August and wait with a rather large group and never have a guide show. I wish there was a way to double check ahead that the tours are happening as we could have gone at a more convenient time. There are also a ton of biting gnats, flies and mosquitoes so big spray is a must!
Playland's Castaway Cove is a well-established amusement park located by the boardwalk. It offers an array of thrilling rides and an arcade for entertainment purposes. The prices are affordable, and visitors get more tickets than they pay for. However, some would prefer if the ride duration could be longer. Additionally, it is conveniently situated near the beach and a great place to eat with Ocean end being a popular choice due to their large pizza slices at good prices.
We love it here we come here very often!! We love the rides! Prices are great you get more tickets than the pay. Wish the rides would last a bit longer tho. Big plus! Beach is close by you don’t even have to walk far! The the boardwalk great place to eat Ocean eat end!! They have very big slices of pizza!!! Prices are great!!!

So much wholesome fun for the family. This is one of the few places left where you cam take your kids and the crowd is good, the staff is good and its just plain fun
We've been here a hundred times. This time we were there on a night that a storm rolled in really quick right after we got on the ferris wheel. These pics were from the top. The staff was great and shut everything down quickly and gave us our tickets back.

Always a good time for the kids. Recommend taking advantage of the deals they offer a couple times a year for half price tickets. Regular price is very expensive.
Ex: $40 for 50 tickets. $75 for 100.
Rides range 3-8 tickets. Big roller coaster is not regular tickets, but rather 1 $10 ticket.

My 5 and 9 year old love going and enjoy the rides. Our three favorite of we had to choose because of height limit is... HURRICANE, THE PIRATE BOAT you have to sit on the very end of both rides to feel the adrenaline. And the OCTOPUS ride with the psss pssss sounds.
Cesar Martinez — Google review
This mini amusement park is a lot of fun. It has a nice blend of rides for 12 and under. All ages are welcome but the thrill level is lower except one fun 48" and higher roller coaster. It's on the boardwalk so the location is easy to get to. Pricing is a dollar a ticket (2023) which can get pricey. They have multi-ticket discounts. You can also check for special days like 3hr unlimited wristbands and half price ticket sales in the off season. Rides are fun, there are plenty of snacks to eat. Definitely summer and fall fun. You can park in town and pay at a parking lot, metered parking or a few blocks in, if you're lucky to find a spot, is free.

Entry is free! Amazing shops and long boardwalk! The ticket prices for rides are purchasable at multiple booths, but if you want to just walk around, it’s free!

My children and I loved it! We went before 4pm so the lines were really short. My children were able to ride all the rides, some more than once due to the short lines. After 6pm more people started coming and it got crowded quickly by then we was almost done at the park. The food was pretty good also!

Great OCNJ Baoardwalk Amusement Park
Playland's Castaway Cove expanded in the past two decades to become the largest amusement park in Ocean City, NJ.
All rides are pay-per with tickets, with the exception of the largest coaster, which you pay for seperately. Tickets are reasonable if you buy the bigger packs, and are good year-to-year.
They have carnival-style games and amusements that are not included as well, some food and snacks.
Rides vary from sedate, child-friendly car or train rides, swings, a Ferris wheel, hoppers, etc. all the way through "Matterhorn"-style spinning rides, log flume, short roller coasters, and rather violent spinning/flying ones.
Best to come right at 4pm (summer schedule) when they open, because the space is very limited and the crowds become quite intense. Umbrella strollers should be the largest kind you bring.
Brian Nielsen — Google review
Good place for little kids and teenagers to have fun. During the summer Friday and Saturday from 7-9pm it’s very busy. Long waits and rides seem shorter time wise. Restroom are on the back side and parking lot on the back connects to the park, and then the boardwalk
Ted Kardon — Google review
I didn't think I would have so much fun watching my kids scream their heads off on rides. Having no crowds or lines made our experience even better. Perfect rides for my 6,9,11 year olds as they got on all the rides. Surprisingly, my 6yr old who's 42" short was able to get on most of the older rides with an exception of a few. I would definitely recommend getting the unlimited ticket if you want to get on the biggest rollercoaster that requires 14 tickets. All other rides require 3-6 tickets. We ended our night ordering the biggest pizza pie from Three Brothers pizza on the boardwalk. Such a happy place with a happy ending.
Gillian's Wonderland Pier is a renowned amusement park located on the Jersey Shore in Ocean City. The park boasts of 31 rides and attractions that cater to individuals of all ages, including a giant Ferris wheel and miniature golf. It is an excellent destination for families seeking to have an enjoyable day out with their children as most of the rides are geared towards them. However, the log flume might not be suitable for really young kids.
Good boardwalk amusement park , fun for all aged. boardwalk it self is good, with lots of restaurants and amusement places like go kart, mini golf.

Great place to have fun with your children, since most of the rides are geared towards them. Log flume is really good, but probably not for really young kids. The only problem is that the prices are kind of expensive for tickets if you don't buy a big quantity. Overall a fun time.

I have been coming here for ages. The nostalgia is real. Outside of that, everything depends on when you go. Obviously there are times where it is busier than others and therfore cleaner than others.
Overall a real nice place to go and have fun as a family. It is a little pricey if you have a large family.
The staff is generally either really nice or passive but acceptable for a bunch of kids.
Always a staple of the trip!

Took 12 children there today, aged 12 and under and THEY had an absolute blast. The rides were many and varied enough to keep us busy for well over 2 hours. The unlimited rides pass (from 2-5pm) for $25 was a solid purchase and there are conveniently close boardwalk bathrooms.
Before going, check your kids' heights, because the littlest ones might be sadly left out due to various ride height requirements. Many smaller kids (32-36 inches) could do rides as long as they were accompanied by an adult, so responsible adults should be ready to participate actively with smaller dependents.
Wear sunscreen as needed and pack extra water bottles and sunglasses/hats if possible, because the majority of rides are not shaded!

I still remember coming here in the 90s as a teen. Several weeks ago, we brought our child here for the first time. While there weren't many ride options for her age, she was very happy on the three rides she went on. We had just gone to the Steel Pier in AC the night prior and this place was much better priced. We were also happy with the length of the ride. We didn't use up all the credits we bought and confirmed that the card would still be valid for our future visits.

Great family fun day with your little ones. Tickets were on sale for 1/2 the price, $25 for 50 tickets. All of the attractions were not open just yet, due to the season. There was enough to keep you busy with your little ones for a few hours. They removed some of the rides that were inside and added an arcade area with plenty of games for a variety of ages to play over the winter. Bring your appetite because while you wait for the pier to open you can have lunch at the 6th Street Pizza & Grill, which is right on the corner of the pier. After lunch and rides we took a walk down the boardwalk and made our way to the beach to chase some seagulls! This is a definite trip to make with the family to make memories and have a Great day!

Gillian's is a great amusement park for it's size. They have quite a few rides in a more compact area due to the fact that they are on the boardwalk. Definitely geared more towards smaller kids but they do have some pretty cool bigger rides also. (Full disclosure I worked there for a few summers when I was a teenager so I'm slightly biased) Prices are decent but the rides are pretty steep on how many tickets are needed to ride. I got the 60$ package that gives you 80$ worth and me and my daughter went through it pretty quickly b,/c the rides are 5-7 tickets per person but it's kind of par for the course when going to these types of places

Lovely store! They sell everything here. There’s so much to see. Every inch of the store is something new that you didn’t see around the corner. They have great prices and very friendly employees. The variety of things in this store is amazing. It’s almost like a one floor shopping mall with different brands and small business shop sands inside.

My daughters and I spent alot of time doing mosaics in June, since it was close to our departure date ; I paid for shipping.
It's now August 28th , I called 3x and was told that they're backed up and I should receive my pieces in a week.

My daughter and I went together shortly after we moved to OC 5 years ago. We made turtle and crab ceramic dishes that both turned out great. I went on my own to do a group painting project; a crab on a wood plank and I love it. I was just looking for something to keep me occupied over the winter and I remembered Glazed Over. I tried to find a calendar for upcoming group nights but I don’t see one. Maybe things are different since I was there? I’ll have to stop in and see what’s coming up.

We've had birthday parties there, as well as just went to paint randomly. The staff are friendly and helpful and it's lots of fun. I wouldn't suggest a group with a wide range of age/attention span if you can avoid it, though. My young son was done way faster than my daughter and I were. Luckily, I brought books for him, but it would have been nicer if it was just me and her, as we chose more detailed pieces.

Stay away from this place. First off, they are a rip off. They do not inform you of their pricing before you begin painting ornaments, which results in quite a nasty surprise when receive a high bill. Second, their professionalism and communication leaves a lot to be desired. In my recent experience, I received the WRONG ornaments, only to be told they couldn't find the originals we ordered. This resulted in us having to return to the store to return someone else's ornaments and wait for ours to be returned by other customers. My sister-in-law experienced the very same issue and now has to return her order. She was told her actual ornaments that she spent heavily on are nowhere to be found. WHAT? When brought up to the store's owner they offered no refunds. Truly poor service. We will never return.

They must have changed hands. I’ve been coming here since the old studio (when you would pick out your own paints from a nook in the front) literally spending hundreds of dollars and hours on painting and artwork being sold here and never been told there was a paint color maximum of 6. Fine reservations and time maximums because of covid. Already put down a $40 deposit, won’t be coming back or recommending.
EDIT: The owner was very accommodating and friendly!
My daughter had recommended OC Humane Society because she had gotten her cat neutered there and I needed to have my Abigail spayed somewhere that I could not only trust with my baby girl but that was affordable and this place was it!!!! Everyone was so friendly and prompt. It was definitely affordable, I was able to get my Abby spayed and get her shots for $120! Thank you to everyone at OC Humane Society for taking such good care of my girl, I will tell EVERYONE that they can trust you with their fur babies 😉❤️

I was surprised but excited to see some of the cats I met before COVID still safe and living at humane society. I absolutely love every pet there and believe you me if I can ever get that pet friendly "fur"ever place to call home...I will be adopting. The great part too is because they have a vet there your future pet has a chance to already have met it's Dr. Which can only be beneficial I would think if you choose to work together in the long run.

Dr Bobb and Dr Moberg are simply the best at what they do. The whole staff at the Humane Society is absolutely top notch, and provide excellent customer service. We have always brought our pets to the Humane Society, but had to take one of our pups to another vet for an emergency surgery last Friday. Thankfully Dr Moberg and Dr Bobb were able to fit us in for a checkup and ended up cleaning up the surgical work from the other vet and our pup looks to be making a full recovery. I can not put into words how thankful my family is for the tireless work and expertise provided to us by Dr Moberg and the Humane Society of OC. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I had begun looking around to Cape May County shelters looking for the perfect set of kittens. After having a solid back and forth email session with Jen, we set up a visit and while there met the three beautiful girls you see in this review. We immediately fell in love with the trio and as of writing this, it is day 3 of having them in house and it's been nothing but an absolute treat. The staff of the humane society made the adoption process super easy and they were very thorough with us. The amount of food given to us and services they offer to adopted alumni amazed us. The HSOCNJ staff helped us form our family and we are so excited for the many years ahead with our babies. :D

My experience with the Humane Society of Ocean City, was absolutely horrible. The way the appointment is set up, they have you call and they send a vet tech out to get your animal. The vet tech approaches my vehicle to get information, in the middle of discussing, she pauses to ask if I will be paying for it today. My sister was with me and I told her that she will be paying. She proceeded to ask my sister how old she was. Still discussing things about our dogs, the vet tech then steps back, and says, “I’m sorry, I need to take a step back. I can smell your vehicle.” Finally, when our dogs were all set, Lisa the women at the front desk approaches my vehicle and says that she tried to call about the payment, but the phone went straight to voicemail. Mind you we had just got off the phone with the Vet, which had no problem contacting us. While Lisa is walking away I over hear her say, “Jesus!” They have the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. I honestly don’t feel comfortable going back.

The OC Waterpark is a seasonal beachfront attraction that offers fun activities for all ages. It features water slides, a lazy river, mini-golf course, and concessions. The park also has a special area for toddlers called the Lil Buc splash pad that features small and big slides with a pirate ship theme. Visitors can enjoy the tube slide either alone or in pairs, and there are different ticket options available to suit their needs.
We really like this water park. Place is a little compact but you get admission to water park, miniature golf, rock wall, and air jump for 1 price.

It's a nice small water park with a few big slides, a short lazy river, a nice little kids area, and a few non water activities. It's also right on the boardwalk. The cost is high for the size of the water park and when we went the water was very cold so the kids had to get out to warm up a few times.

Always the best experience. We go to the park every year. This year in August 2022, we rented all the lower cabanas and we had a larger group than usual. Brad was wonderful helping to set-up our day. Jocelyn was our server for the day and she was fantastic. Helped with all our needs and we even helped celebrate her birthday. Everyone enjoyed the day immensely and we still talk about the day to this day. Cannot wait until next year!

This waterpark is such a waste of money. There are only 4 waterslides to go on and one of them is super short. For $50 i would expect more than 4 outdated water slides that have been there since the early 2000’s. The waterpark itself is poorly cleaned and hasn’t been updated in years. If you’re going to go try and get a groupon or get the twilight pass which is $25 a person after 3:00 pm. Trust me you dont need more than 45 minutes before you get bored of going on the same 4 things over and over again. I think the price is way over what it should be though discounted or not. Overall i would skip this waterpark and take another 30 minute drive to wildwood to experience an actual waterpark thats worth your time and money.

I was trying to save money because we were at Atlantic City and the water park costs $89 in the Showboat. Not worth it at all I pay $25 for parking.
We went on a Thursday but the place was packed.

Is good if you have little kids.

more then half of the staff had horrible attitudes. even with the little ones. the lazy river was closed and there are slim to no signs letting us know that. they failed announce that before we had bought wrist bands for the whole family. we were playing in the family area and got told if we played again we were to leave the park. there were three slides through your the park. then we ask about it and they said they can’t do anything about it. everyone seemed to be having a bad day. we were there for a half hour looking around to see all of the things to do. there were a few great staff members. that were super respectful and nice to us.

Had a great time! I love their colorful tubes and the view of the gorgeous beach from the water park. The buccaneer bay looks really fun for young children, it's a Pirate themed Water Playground with pirate ships the children can climb on and enjoy. There is basically no waiting time to get on the waterslides and the lazy river is very nice too. The mini golf is also a very nice addition to the park, I love the cave and waterfall theme of it.

Water park is showing it's age, but we still enjoy it. Going to be pricey for some. Many of the cool things have been removed over the years. They seem to be pushing the cabanas. They also removed all of the patio chairs on the lower level. This I don't understand. Removed the whale and turtle sprinklers in the kids area. The lazy man river water level was about 6-8inches lower than normal. Difficult to get comfy. Many of the tubes were updated which is good. Slides in good shape. The food was decent. Amenities need more regular service during the day but not terrible. Water needs to be skimmed to remove feathers and bird feces especially in the lazy man river. Bought all day Ticket to get mini golf but we were right at closing time, many people playing still. Was about to get passes so we could return next day, but suddenly a call to the manager said no. Rude. Been playing mini golf there for years, will no longer go. Will visit other venues from now on. Walked over to Tee time, played there.

I was looking forward to going to this water park with my 8 year old daughter today, but was horrified by more than the cold water & weather! This park wasn’t crowded at all, but SO dirty! The bathrooms were horrible and not cleaned at all (let alone regularly cleaned), the chairs all had mold stains and looked 50 years old & this gross sludge was forming near the lazy River entrance. I’d rate it 0 stars if I could!!

Celebrated my granddaughter' s 14th birthday on July 29th. What a great day! The whole family had a wonderful time. We had rented the Lil Bucs cabana for the day and Brad made sure we had everything that we needed. He came by all day making sure we were having a good time. Brad delivered our food and when he brought the cupcakes up for the birthday girl he sang "happy birthday" along with everyone else. At the end of our stay Brad insisted on helping me get my 18 month old grandbaby to my car safely. Brad is a wonderful and thoughtful member of the waterpark. Also have to mention kaitlyn at the ticket stand. She was very helpful and professional when i called the day before and answered all my questions. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you Brad and staff.

My family and I have always loved visiting the OC waterpark but unfortunately, I couldn’t get past the lack of cleanliness that was evident throughout the park. In the years past, I never remember seeing what we did during our July 2023 visit. The walkways have build up that has been neglected for so long that mold and a weird white slime created a trail sitting on top of the dirty walkway. You’re expected to walk through it and then enter the pool, yuck! We love OC and hope they take proper measures to make this place safe and clean again. I just wanted to inform others who may consider going to know, as I wouldn’t have taken my family if I knew. My kids were excited and we stayed, however it was difficult for my wife and I and we won’t be returning until I know things have improved.
My wife did report her concerns to management during the visit so let’s see if these items are addressed.

OC Waterpark has a great variety of activities from fun slides to an activity pool, lazy river, mini golf, rock wall and a wonderful area for younger kids too. The employees are extremely attentive and it is apparent that they are well-trained. You can definitely feel like your kids are safe there. The food selection is great and makes it convenient that you don’t have to leave the park when you get hungry. We have season passes and they are such an amazing deal. I would highly recommend! 😎 It’s my sons favorite place in OC!

A great place to spend a few hours on a hot day and not deal with the sand. Our kids ages 3, 5, 10 all had a great time. The lil buc area for the toddlers is a great splash pad with a pirate ship, lots of small slides and one bigish slide. Then there's 3 bigger slides and a lazy river. The tube slide you can go on double or single and even the 3 yo loved it. WARNING they do not let you bring outside food in. It was also busiest in the morning and less busy in the afternoon. The 3 hour ticket was plenty for our family. There was a twilight ticket for 25 bucks after 3 pm that wasn't advertised on the website.

We came at 2:30 and Brad gave us a great deal! We are very pleased with the park. Clean and fun for our 10/7 yr olds.
The Ocean City Historical Museum is a small but rich collection of artifacts, photographs, and exhibits that showcase the history of the local community, resort, and boardwalk. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning about the area's past. The museum features excellent displays that are both informative and engaging. Adjacent to the library, it is a must-visit for anyone touring Ocean City.
Very interesting, well laid out museum documenting the history of Ocean City. Great displays! Volunteers were quite friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the display of the beginnings of the boardwalk and the Sindia shipwreck. Our group of 7 combined this museum with the US Lifesaving Station in Ocean City for a great and fun afternoon!

Nice, small, and free admission to the museum. Covered the entire history of the island. From founding the island to the present. Also, a nice small art gallery upstairs to visit for free.

Nicely done, welcoming atmosphere and engaging staff/volunteers
The concept of having multiple cultural elements in one place is a hit here. Library, Art Center, Public Indoor Pool/Fitness Center and this museum
Good location not far from the current end of the boardwalk located on the "bay side"
Surface parking in abundance, ADA compliant parking etc.
FREE museum sharing the documented beginning of Ocen City NJ. Gift store on site.

Unexpected fun at the OCNJ museum. It’s free to the public but they accept donations which we were glad to pay. We were led by our own personal guide throughout the museum. The exhibits are well presented and maintained. I will say I was surprised that there was no presence of African American history. Now I’ve been coming here for 21 years and know there are some very interesting facts about the original settlers as well as OCNJ’s climb through segregation. Why aren’t they part of the history too?

This small museum is pack with history about Ocean city. The man in the front desk is very welcoming and informative. He explained to us thr history of the community and its very interesting. Seeing those old photos and the people that first settled there is truly amazing. Worth visiting when your at Ocean city, NJ.
Extremely interesting!! The docents were extremely knowledgeable and made their presentations very informative, enjoyable, and interesting. I learned alot about the hardships that we today hardly even think about. I cannot imagine the lifestyle these heroes led back then. I'm so glad I visited. A hidden gem in Ocean City!

I spoke with the people who take care of this historic station and was surprised by some of the knowledge imparted. For instance, I didn't know it was a woman who invented the first flare. How awesome!

Beautiful library! Lovely and very helpful staff. Thanks for your commitment to help our little ones. And please don’t support “pride” we know what is all about and you don’t have to go with what is trendy. Grooming should not be allowed. Keep our children safe.

This is the coolest library we have ever been to and we have been to a LOT of library’s! My 3 year old absolutely loved the Cape May Zoo event. He kept saying maybe there will be an alligator and I had to tell him there probably won’t be an alligator. Wouldn’t you know they pulled out a baby alligator and my son kept saying this was the best day ever! Thank you so much to all who coordinated such a fun event!

I love this library. I am a local of OC so I’m there all seasons. They have a huge collection of books. Small and large print. If you want a book they don’t have they are quick to order it for you. Communication is splendid. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Children’s and young adult sections is filled with latest books. Computer room is great with things like scanner and fax machine. I just called today and Tia helped me with ebooks and book mobile info. Great employee to have! They all are.

If you don't mind, just keep this local gem hidden. It's full of warmly lit climate-controlled air, books and the like. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and the adult and children's programs are amazing. Hey, it's our secret though, right?

Nice space, apparently the taxes on the million-dollar homes aren’t enough for them to run a damn air-circulation system of any sort. Hot, dead-air nightmare.
Great experience for my daughter with special needs. They give the kids the freedom to express themselves and grow their independence.
