Jersey Shore, New Jersey

We had earned free nights at Bally's from an adult trip and figured, why not take the kids? It is beachfront and has an indoor roof top pool! There is a Rain Forest Cafe and a Ripley's Believe it or not in walking distance. Steel Pier has recently been remodeled and was actually much cleaner than most boardwalk amusements. The Pier Shops at Ceasar's offers many family friendly dining options and a great synchromized water feature show as well as the candy store, SUGAR, a favorite of my girls. You can walk right out of Bally's onto the beach. We had no problems and our girls enjoyed it. We obviously steered clear of the casinos. We did find Artlantic http://www.atlanticcitynj.com/visitors/artsandculture/artlantic.aspx and the Joe Holiday Magic Show were qute entertaining!

I was blown away by the hotel....it was by the water which was beautiful and it had lovely dining right in the hotel and a beautiful pool and jacuzzi as well. My daughter was blown away by the view and the area itself. I would definitely go back!!!

This ended up being the highlight of our short vacation, as odd as that may sound. We had no idea it existed, I didn't even remember the correct name of the place as I have been wanting to review it, and we simply stumbled upon it in passing as we headed to Ocean City Beach in New Jersey. A good part of the fun was winning a free game or a treat when you drop your ball in a maze thing by the counter. The games were $7.95 each, and since our daughter wasn't that much into it (but enjoyed seeing the decorations) and my hubby and I could alternate holes, we cut down on the expense a bit by buying only two games. One of the holes is situated around a waterfall drop, and that was my personal favorite. We went after being at the beach on the first day, and because our son won a free game at the end, we came back the next day. We even found a ball as we arrived that had been hit out of the park, and with it won another free game! SCORE! It's fun happenings like this that made us feel like we'd found our own pirate treasure!

We had gotten a hotel near Atlantic City for the lower prices, but heard the beach there wasn't so nice. I asked the front desk clerk about his recommendations, and he directed us to the more family friendly and clean Ocean City Beach. We could easily access the water, there was decent parking, and the lifeguards were on duty. We had purchased $5 boogie boards at an inexpensive store near home (Five Below) and thoroughly enjoyed using them. The boardwalk and all of that sort of tourist activity isn't our style, but there was plenty to be had if desired.

it had a indoor pool which was great.internet,and computers out front for you to use.it was clean,and quiet.

went for a 2 day 1 night get away! We had a blast
