Overview

Ocean City's oldest amusement park has anchored the Boardwalk at 10th Street for more than 50 years, and its 32 rides run the full range. Little kids ride the carousel, the Classic Train and the drop-free Whirlwind coaster; older kids and adults line up for the GaleForce coaster, the Double Shot tower, the High Seas Log Flume and the Ferris wheel. The park's Pier 9 go-karts and mini golf sit a block down at 936 Boardwalk. Rides cost 2 to 14 tickets each. Books are sold in person only at the booths and never expire, so leftover tickets carry over to next summer. Crowds peak from 8 to 10pm all week; August brings shorter waits.
