19 Best Things To Do in Wildwood, NJ, with Kids

Get your fill of classic amusement park rides on a trip to Wildwood, NJ.

The Wildwoods have a rep for being a raucous section of the Jersey Shore, but I didn't find that to be the case on a recent family trip. A summer weekend tends to be filled with flocks of multigenerational families who fill the boardwalk with bikes in the early morning hours and the amusement parks, beaches, and restaurants the rest of the day.

Wildwoods is comprised of three towns, North Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest. There are five miles of beach, and a roughly two-mile boardwalk that's loaded with the typical kitschy beach supply shops, but also Morey’s Piers and all the amusement park fun that comes with it.

Read on for all the details on what to expect from your summer getaway to this Jersey Shore hot spot, and check out our article covering 70 Things To Do at the Jersey Shore with Kids for more ideas.
