The Boardwalk
Wildwood can be summed up in a few words-- party haven, tourist trap and cheesy fun.

When I was a kid, during the school year I couldn't wait for summer break, because it meant I would get to spend a week or two "down the shore" and spend some time at Wildwood. It's a young person's paradise. There's tons of shopping, rides, games, sun and fun.

As I'm getting older, I don't enjoy Wildwood as much as I used to. I am deterred by how crowded and expensive it is, all the tourist junk for sale and roller coasters just don't seem as fun as they used to. (Oh, and since I'm married, guy watching isn't on the top of my list anymore.) ;-)

Wildwood is full of beautiful people looking for other beautiful people to hook up with and party. If that's what you're looking for, Wildwood is the place for you.
Games everywhere!
Wildwood has been undergoing a face-lift for the past several years. There has been an effort to restore the old art-deco buildings, add new piers and better roller coasters, and make everything bigger and brighter. It seems like it's working because people are flocking back to the shore and the Boardwalk looks great!

Cons:"expensive, crowded, noisy"
In A Nutshell:"Come's alive at night!!!"

 These guys are scumbags that purchase from good faith vendors and then burn them at the end of the summer. But hey, the kids like them, so let's keep supporting them!

 I had never heard of this little tram before.
