The Palace of Sweets Adventure Mirror Maze gives children and adults the opportunity to adventure through a candy-themed fun maze that leads to a room filled with tasty treats. Maze goers also have the option to add the Laser Maze Chamber. Tired of walking along the boardwalk? Take a ride on the environmentally friendly Wildwoods Boardwalk Sightseer Tram Cars. This 56-year-old Wildwood tradition can operate for 12 hours purely off of a 2,000-pound electric battery.

Experience black-light mini golf at the Dragon Lair’s Black Light Mini Golf course. The course leads families through a three dimensional medieval castle, where golfers encounter knights and dragons. Get a hole in one on the course’s last hole, and meet Bo Bo the talking dragon.

Enjoy over 16 water attractions at Splash Zone Water Park. Kids and parents alike will never bore with different intensities of rides. Grab a bite to eat after the fun at The Zone Grill. Fridays at the water park are also Carnival Day.

The boardwalk also offers four different piers of amusement park and water rides. Morey’s Piers offers families plenty of options all within a short walking distance. Morey’s Piers include, Mariner’s Landing Pier, Surfside Pier, Adventure Pier and Raging Waters Water Park.

For families just looking to relax, Wildwood has miles and miles of family-friendly beaches. Every Friday during the summer, there is a beachfront fireworks show.

Before finishing the day, make sure to wish Wildwood a happy 100th Birthday, by taking a picture in front of the iconic Wildwood sign.
