GO FLY! Morey’s Piers in the
Wildwoods were voted the top
seaside amusement park in the
world. There are more than 100
rides, from gentle to G-force.
Family Activities
Cape May offers a kaleidoscopic variety
of activities that you can enjoy with the
family. Here is a big list of ideas to get you
started...
To the Boardwalk!
Morey’s Piers have been providing fun and
games to families on the Wildwood boardwalk
for decades. There’s a reason they were
voted Best Seaside Park in the World! (Yes,
the world.) Dare to take on some epic roller
coasters like the Sea Serpent, scare yourself
silly with the Ghost Ship attraction, or check
out the revival of the KONG ride 35 years later
as you soar 60 feet in the air circling the legendary
giant gorilla. From the Ferris wheel
to delicious curly fries you won’t leave disappointed.
Also for some cool activities on a
hot summer day visit their water parks Raging
Waters or Ocean Oasis. moreyspiers.com
Cape May-Lewes Ferry
Take a trip over to Lewes, Delaware, a small,
quaint seaside town, then make sure you
check out bustling Rehoboth Beach, the Fenwick
Island Lighthouse or Cape Henlopen
State Park. The CMLF offers special events
and boat rides, including musical boat cruises
like Rock the Boat and Tropical Tuesday
cruises (reservations required). You can also
take advantage of the tax-free shopping at
the outlets. Or just enjoy the quiet and vastness
of the bay on the deck of the ferry as you
watch for dolphins and whales. The Cape May
Terminal has free mini-golf and waterfront
dining at On the Rocks with live music every
night. Go for a family outing or enjoy drinks
on the waterfront. capemaylewesferry.com
Historic Cold Spring Village
Ever wonder what it was like to live in Cape
May 200 years ago? The answer can be found
at this open-air living history museum, a seven-minute
drive from town. Through interactive
upcoming events like Hands-On History,
Ghost Investigations, and Civil War, Time
Travel and Seafarer’s (pirates!) Weekends
you can experience different time periods and
have a great time. The many authentically
restored homes amid idyllic shaded areas
make it hard not to feel like Abe Lincoln’s in
office… and it’s even easier when the Civil
War re-enactment rolls into town. hcsv.org
