Things to Do in Atlantic City

We know how attractive the bright lights of casinos can be, but don’t let yourself be fooled—there’s other things to do besides placing bets. Take a walk out on Steel Pier, a 300-metre long amusement pier with numerous rides. Go for a lap on the Ferris wheel and then test your nerves on one of the roller coasters. The pier is directly across from many Atlantic City hotels, so you won’t have to go far for fun.

Now, when you’re done goofing around on the rides, get weird on the Boardwalk at Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum. The Odditorium (get it?) is home to all sorts of eccentric stuff like shrunken heads, the world’s smallest car and a life-sized replica of the world’s tallest man. He makes Shaquille O’Neal look like one of those lollipop things from The Wizard of Oz.

Getting to & Around Atlantic City

Your adventure in AC will begin when your flight lands at Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), 16 km from downtown. Getting to your Atlantic City accommodation is as simple as getting a curbside taxi or a shuttle outside of baggage claim. Most of this town’s attractions are close together, so walking is your best bet for getting around.

The idea of fear and loathing started in the Vegas desert, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take Dr. Thompson’s philosophy to the East Coast.
