Family Fun at Morey's Piers Amusement Park in Wildwood

Morey's Piers and Beachfront Water Parks are located directly on the beach in Wildwood, New Jersey. When you visit Morey's Piers you will find three large wooden piers filled with amusement park rides, fun carnival style games and two fun-filled water parks for you and your family to enjoy.

Morey's Piers is a family owned and operated seaside park that spans over 18 acres along six beach blocks. What's really nice is that all three of the amusement piers are within walking distance from one another. You can play on one, two or all three of them in a single day.

When our family visits the park we make an entire day of it. Since we'll be spending several hours there, we opt to buy the all-you-can ride wristband. However, you can also opt to just buy tickets and pay as you go. Frankly though, if your kids are going to be getting on at least 10+ amusement rides, you'll probably save money by purchasing the wristbands.

There are all kinds of different rides for you and the family to enjoy. There are "water" rides where you'll get a little wet, dry rides, roller coasters, kiddie rides and everything in between. When getting on the rides you want to dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes. Don't be dragging shopping bags and other items with you onto the rides.

All of the amusement rides are broken down into 3 different categories:

* High Thrill Rides - High speeds with extremely unusual & stressful physical forces. This ride contains startling & unexpected thrills appropriate for ONLY the most healthy & physically able riders.

* Moderate Thrill Rides - Moderate speeds with unexpected movements & stressful physical forces. This ride may contain unanticipated thrills.

* Mild Thrill Rides - Low speeds with expected movements and anticipated thrills.

I recommend that you write down your child's name, your name and your cellphone number onto a piece of paper & slip it into your child's pocket. This way if they get separated from you, they can be identified and you'll be contacted. We all hope that this never happens, but it does! It's a good time to have a "safety" talk with your child(ren) on what to do if they do become separated from you. Being prepared is the smart thing to do!

There are two different water parks with one of them located on the Surfside Pier at 25th Avenue and the Boardwalk and the second one is called Raging Waters located at Mariner's Pier at Schellenger Avenue and the Boardwalk. These water parks have separate admission charges!!! You can buy admission just into the water park or purchase combo tickets to save to a little bit of money.

During the weekends and holidays, Morey's gets really busy so I suggest that you plan ahead. You may want to try to visit during the "off peak" hours during the day when a lot of people are over on the beach, as compared to visiting during the evening hours and/or weekend hours.

On the piers you'll find various carnival style games that you can play. In my personal opinion, play them AFTER you're done riding for the day. It can be a real pain in the butt to drag around those stuffed animals while you're trying to get on rides and while standing in lines. Of course, this is entirely up to you.

Every time we visit the Jersey Shore (Avalon, Stone Harbor, Wildwood or Cape May), we always plan a family fun visit to Morey's Piers Amusement Park. It's great fun for the entire family and has become a family tradition every time we travel down to the shore!
