44-foot speedboat with spins and shoreline views
Ocean City, NJ | leisure | 1 to 2 hours
Open since 1976 in a turn-of-the-century landmark on the Boardwalk at 12th Street, this arcade still runs Skee-Ball for about a dime a game and pinball for a quarter. More than 100 machines fill the floor under the building's original carousel dome: Pac-Man and Centipede alongside Jurassic Park and Star Wars, sit-down racers, air hockey, pool tables, cranes and a film photo booth. Load any amount onto a Fun Card and it never expires or loses value. There is no ticket counter, so the games pay out in fun rather than prizes. The room is air-conditioned and heated, open daily year-round, steps from the family's fry, ice cream and candy shops.

What's great
Dime Skee-Ball
Skee-Ball has rolled here since 1976 and still costs about a dime a game, with pinball a quarter.
What's unique
Carousel Dome
The arcade fills a landmark building whose original carousel dome still rises over the game floor.
What's worth knowing
No Prize Counter
Games pay in play, not tickets; afternoons run cooler and quieter than the packed summer evenings.
