Atlantic City might not be the first place on your list for family travelers, but you might be surprised to learn this destination has something for everyone. Atlantic City offers a vibrant escape for families looking for fun, couples looking for a romantic getaway, millennials in need of a break and adults looking for relaxation. Here’s what’s waiting for you in Atlantic City:
For Families
Families should check out Showboat Resort. The Lucky Snake Arcade is the largest on the East Coast and offers more than 300 games, virtual reality experiences and go-karts. Family travelers will also love Island Waterpark, the largest indoor beachfront waterpark filled with fast slides, a swim-up bar and zip line. Spend some quality time together with a round of mini golf with oceanfront views or a day paddling a surrey bike down the boardwalk at North Beach Mini Golf & Bike Rentals.
For Couples and Luxury Travelers
Head to Ocean Casino Resort for a more luxurious stay. The resort recently partnered with Blade to offer New York City travelers a stress-free, traffic-free ride to the hotel. Enjoy oceanfront suites, fine dining, relaxation at Exhale Spa + Bathhouse and a world-class casino. Guests can also enjoy the indoor/outdoor Eclipse Pool boasting stunning ocean views. Take luxury to the next step and dine at the only oceanfront Nobu on the East Coast, located in Caesars Atlantic City Hotel & Casino.
For Foodies
The dining scene in Atlantic City is unlike any other. For breakfast, stop by Gilchrist for a stack of hotcakes, a staple since 1946. Hash House A Go Go is known for its twist on farm food packed with flavor. Travelers looking for a classic Atlantic City experience should go to White House Sub Shop for its legendary hoagies. Cafe 2825 offers an intimate, elevated dining experience with tableside cacio e pepe and house-made burrata. Take your taste buds to new heights at Setaara with Afghan- and French-fused flavors. Dock’s Oyster House has been an AC staple since 1897, serving fresh East Coast oysters and other delicious seafood dishes.
