Destinations / North America

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.
