Gillians Wonderland Pier

Used to work there part time it was good then not sure of now I moved elsewhere about 14 years ago.

This place is so cute! Old fashioned rides that will make anyone born before 1990 nostalgic, alongside newer flashier rides. It was nice going in the evening until closing, minimal people and no lines for anything. My 2 year old and 7 year old loved it.

A wonderful, classic amusement park that maintains that old school charm. Well-maintained and clean, with good food and solid rides. Kudos to the park for creating a dark ride in the classic style. Without a doubt, the best ride in the park!

We love this place - especially the special days. So many cute rides, great for younger kids. Our favorite are the cars that whip around.As far as covid precautions, all of the staff have on masks (correctly!). Hand sanitizer is at the front of every ride with signage (not everyone uses it though). There are paw prints designating 6 foot distance at each ride entrance (again, not everyone adheres to it). There are no longer any benches around for seating, so that made it really difficult for my mother in law. Im not sure if that is a covid precaution or an end of season thing though.Overall, we highly recommend!

I have done so much to make it a safe place to be during the pandemic. They have the cutest little bear paws 6 apart for lines, Instead of tickets they are doing Reloadable swipe cards, Their spacing people out on the rides, and There are hand sanitizer stations at every single ride! My daughter needed a mask and they were able to provide some free ones. I actually felt Safe been here during the pandemic. Most people were wearing masks Most people were wearing masks.Kudos to them for making the attempt and doing their best to be as safe as possible for them and their guests. :)

They are doing great with having sanitation areas at every ride BUT the people Do NOT KNOW HOW TO RESPECT YOUR SPACE. Just please be cautious. We want all of our kids and family members to just have safe healthy fun. PLEASE Be Respectful to others boundaries.

Nice amusement park for kids! 15 for unli rides..my son had fun! Some rides were close so I am giving 4 stars

Excellent deals! Went here December 15 and my son got to go on the indoor rides on the boardwalk here, and there were a few rides open outside. For $10 you get a wristband and could go on an unlimited amount of rides from 12-5 pm and that was an excellent deal because we stayed for three hours! What a great place for kids under 10 in the winter.

Fun for kids! Great rides and unique ones like a trampoline with bungee cords.Little bit pricey for single rides but worth the experience :)

Kids loved it! The workers all had masks. There were discreet 6ft markers for social distancing. Workers were kind. They wiped stuff down between rides

Always a fun time. A little pricey, but worth it due to proximity to the beach and good food!

Disaster, not what it used to be. All the rides are not well maintained, a ripoff, and not all of them are open every year. Just keeps getting worse from time to time, may not even last that much longer in business. Dont even bother working there because I heard you get treated like complete garbage. Id suggest you just back off from that place if I were you.

Great spot for adults and kids of all ages. Updated alot of the rides since the last time we were there. Had lots of cheap fun. Enjoy!

Its so cute and ideal for little ones. Has 3-5 small rides where they ride alone. Scary at first but comforting to be so close to them.

Great family friendly place

Its a wonderful place for smaller kids ... it totally captures an earlier era. We love living in Ocean City!

A fun place for adults to bring children for small rides and such. A few rides mixed in for the adults as well. The place was fairly clean. The building and rides were decently maintained, the rides were cost effective and the ticket system was simple. We were there in October, but still there were enough rides open to make it fun.

Great place for kids. Rides were cleaned and hand sanitizer at all rides. Social distancing was observed. Not to many people for a Friday night during the climate were in right now. Looking forward to happy days ahead.

The memories which stem back somewhere starting summer circa 84-85? ... I caught my first crush there..Carly, from Canada..She was so out of my leave even at age 6 ..Well when I came out of the bathroom from seeing NeverEnding Story all had just been about as a match made in heaven ...that was until I almost broke the poor girls nose running of the bathroom...She never spoke to me again..Well Mr. Gillians Wonderland Pier and all the memories ...Some very broad and large in mental image ...The ferris wheel still has me going over in the dead of winter to appreciate that even though the monthly electric bill for that vivid color and pattern producing spectacle.. I only say that to say. What will always be ingrained in my mind are the memories so intricate.. and so telling of the authenticity of the park ..right now I kind of live for mobile photography and its amazing what a photograph that any part of that. Very large compound of all one way shape or form to facilitate the overall experience..last winter I took a couple shots of the front and some guy tried to say I screenshotted herb Photoshop the dragon on the roof into my photo ....once again I have always been a lover and liver for the intricate ..the seemingly subtle .

Fun place for what looked like little kids Im older and there are like 4 rides that I was actually allowed on and the staff was ssoo mean to me and my friends

Open at 1 pm. Has moved to card to hold tickets for rides. Can still redeem the old paper tickets. Daughter is 36 inches and able to do a fair amount of rides. Kids had a blast. Half of park inside a building that gives shade but no ac.

It was wonderful, I never seen a boardwalk before and it was awesome

My kids had a good time but they took away their rollar coaster ride and the flying saucer ride .Cause of the end of the season a few rides where not open.

My daughter loved it..esp the kids bungee ride &Thomas the train ride..so much fun

I havent been here in 15 years. My children loves it and your young staff is superb and great with kids. Thank you

Love this place every year! Nice staff and fun rides!

We were unfortunately short on tickets yet the worker let us go. Were very thankful :) The rides are pretty nice and the kids at the glass house were entertaining lol

Okay spot to park, farther out from everything on the board walk. I would suggest to park more in the middle where everything is. Love OC but this time around smelled like sewage bad not sure if its where I parked. None the less its a great family outting!

Off-season special right now, unlimited rides for 5 hours for $15. Kids loved it.

Enjoyment at its peak. I would love to recommend this place for kids especially in this hot season.Kids had real fun time out there.

Great rides for the little kids. Not many lines either

One of my absolute favorite childhood memory stomping grounds. Amazing place to take the kids. Always a wonderful time!

Great amusement park for very young children. My toddlers had a blast.

Lots of fun rides for younger kids. Our 2 year old had fun and so did our 7, 8, and 11 year olds. There is a train ride that goes around the park - it looks like Thomas a little so our 2yo loved it! There were some rides that werent working though, and one area by the swings ride that wasnt blocked off properly - seemed like a safety hazard to me with so many kids running around. There are also public restrooms on the end. Right on the boardwalk.

OK place to take the kids in the evening. A wide variance of rides for all ages. Not sure when the transition was made to go to a swipe card system but glad it has been implemented and bunches of physical tickets no longer have to be be carried around. Note that with smaller children, if they cant ride alone and an adult has to accompany them it will cost twice the number of tickets - this is the only place I recall with this policy.

Lots of fun, despite some rides being closed because of Covid. Well worth a visit when youre down the shore!

Landmark attraction with nice ferris wheel and other rides from kiddie rides to a little more exciting.

The whole family had a great time, especially the kids!!!!

Enjoyable time. Especially in the off season for the locals.

I and my children enjoyed it alot.

This place is the best place on the Jersey shore if you have younger children. No real long lines and rides that ate perfect for the younger ones.

Great spot for a family night out. Adults can be a kid again for a few hours. Can be tricky to find parking but we usually just pay at a lot. Tickets can be used year after year so you dont loose out if you dont use up all your tickets at one visit. Also arcade games and lots of snacks to choose from. Family friendly fun. Plus you can walk a few steps to the Beach which is always fun too! Fun in the day but you will love to see it at night all lit up its beautiful.

Been going here for years. Still love the place and never gets old.

Great entertainment on the boardwalk. Make sure to checkout the limited ride bands as the rides here cost a lot compared to other NJ boardwalks.

We had a fantastic time here. Our two year old child wanted to come here every night. the prices for the tickets are a dollar a piece but some of the rides the little kid rides are reasonable some are only 1,2,3 and four tickets. the thrill rides outside in the back are more expensive there is a log Flume Ferris wheel a drop zone and a music express. great place to go for the whole family but my favorite part was that there were so many rides for smaller children under the age of five.

Always a wonderful time there.

Although rides are not cheap (typical will cost 5 tokens), kids love the rides, atmosphere is fun, food is great. A yearly treat to roll in summer vacation

The amusement rides were closed but it was still a brilliant day the sun was so bad I couldnt see anything but the breeze was nice

Cute little pier for little ones and they have so e big rides for everyone else thats open only in summers.

A very nice place, and there is a lot of fun for young and old, no matter your age you have to go and you will enjoy!!!

Family fun. Clean, reasonable, worthwhile vacation outing

It is a very fun place to explore. The rides are average but it did gives you the thrills and fun. Not very crowded if you visit around this time.

Never knew all that existed on the boardwalk! Such a fun place to see the rides... Didnt go on any but enjoyed watching...

Great place for families to have fun on the Boardwalk in OCNJ.

Great rides for kids!! Tickets are inexpensive!!

Little pricey for a family of four. But the boardwalk experience is something i wanted to share with my kids. You can grab great boardwalk pizza right next door. Parking is difficult on weekends. You can find a pay lot 2 blocks away. Ferris wheel was not working when we went. Little disappionting. Regardless, my kids had a blast and thats what counts. We bought 2 unlimited passes for $40 per pass. Gave my kids 4 hours to ride as much as they wanted. I grabbed a few tickets for myself when they needed me to ride with them.

Always good times and great memories. Even in the middle of these crazy times.

A throwback park full of nostalgia. Fun rides for kids. A little dated compared to the other park and attractions on the boardwalk, but an experience unlike any other too.

They have sanitizer station at every ride, plenty ride for kiddo. People work there so nice and helpful.

Sunday night wristbands are the best deal on boardwalk for rides. Lots of great kiddie rides. Affordable snacks.

I absolutely love this place on the boardwalk. Started taking my kids there 20 years ago and went back last night during a visit to Ocean City. It is designed for the youngsters. The cost of the rides isnt that bad either. Little brothers fighting with sisters on who gets to ring the fire truck bell. Vice versa on who gets to sit in the front seat to steer the boat.Looking at all the moms and dads, I can see in them now, the same joy I had years ago when my kids were on these rides.My favorite part and so happy they still do it...grab the brass ring, on the carousel. So many kids have done it over the decades it is polished and smoothed.Heres to hoping and praying I can take my grandchildren there one day.

Fun, great for small kids, good boardwalk food nearby

They have an okay selection of rides, but theyre a little pricey when you consider how old they are at this point. Kids will likely be left wanting more when youre out of tickets and ready to move on. Also, theyre not really enforcing the mandated masks they have signs about.

In the heart of Ocean City is the juul to bring the family for a day of fun. The childrens favorite destination is gillions Wonderland. They have fun rides for all ages and a beautiful location overlooking the Jersey Shore. Ample parking right next door along with clean restrooms make it an excellent stop for children of all ages. Enjoy!

My girls had a nice time there.

I went there for my birthday vacation this past summer. Was such a fun place to be around. Became friends with one of the workers he was really nice. Hoping to go back next summer for a longer time.

Terrible ride selection, ride attendees dont even check your childrens belt .. waste of time and money

Great Place, but its not wide than i thought

Very clean and great for the kids.

Wow. This place lacks and that is being nice. The rides are terrible. Tickets are WAY overpriced. Four of the main rides were out of commission including the ferris wheel. Would have been nice if the ticketmaster mentioned that. Real bummer. Pretty much a tourist attraction trap. Do not waste your money on tickets. Get the unlimited ride deal. But your still getting ripped off. Wow, just wow. I give it two stars because anyone who knows better wont go.

Great place to make memories. Child friendly, rides for all ages, not too big..not too small...JUST RIGHT! Being right on the boardwalk its easy to grab a bite, hit the beach, make a day or month of it and never get board!

It has fun rides good food, lots of food, and it has a beach you can go down to, and the best part is its in New Jersey!

Nice place to take the kids for a few rides, but abit expensive. Its packed because its one of the few parks on the boards, but they need to do some updates. They have the classic rides but the pirate ship hasnt worked all season.

Guessing theyre making the best of the space they have. For a amusement area with about 20-25 rides, 5-6 were closed or broke down. A lot of the kiddie rides were open but only few of the adult ones. Wonderful isnt quite what I remember sometime ago, staff was super friendly and welcoming. That was the best part.

Its a good place for kids and rides on the OC boardwalk.

Fun spot for the kids, with a couple adult rides thrown in.We took advantage of unlimited rides for 3 hours for $25. My 5 and 3 year old daughters had a great time. I took a tally, and we certainly got our moneys worth out of the deal. Most of the outdoor rides have a height limit of 42 for the child to ride alone, so my 5yr old just made the mark and loved them all. My little one enjoyed the smaller kid rides that were indoors. Most rides are 4-5 tickets, so take advantage of any deals they have for bundles or unlimited, as they will add up quickly!Overall, it is a fun time for the kids, and a nice way to spend an afternoon.

Awesome amusement park, decent snacks and great rides

Absolutely Beautiful... Went for the sunrise very few people.. Yhe beach, sunset,amazing park.. wow would love to go back and take my kids...Im a weedy coast girl and know there nothing like it in the Universe..Thanks for a GREAT TIME.

I love the man and dog and the rides. Especially the monorail train ride.

Fun spot for children. Carnival atmosphere right on boardwalk/ocean

We went three days in a row and did a few rides each day. I love that you can buy tickets and they never expire!!! We even hit a time when all rides were two tickets until 4pm! Our favorite rides are the bumper cars and the Ferris wheel.

Great place for toddlers. My grandson had a great time on the rides.

As good as can be with all the restrictions that exist

Expensive but everything there is. Its worth it tho. Very fun. Lots to see and do. Good for all ages

A great selection of rides for all ages. The Ferris wheel was great in the evening and gave a view of all the local beaches, including a fireworks show in AC.

It was really clean and friendly on the boardwalk and into the pier. Staff across the board were helpful and had a friendly expression, even the younger part timers were into what they were doing which enhances the experience for us.Everything was fun, clean, and felt well built / secure.They have really good deals and specials if you go at the right times. Check online for those.Buying tickets? Just get the pass. You run out of tickets and surpass the dollar amount of the pass very quickly. May as well enjoy yourself without counting and limiting for the same amount of money

Was here with this girl I have been chilling with.. this is a classic attraction along the boardwalk of the Ocean town Oceam City, NJ

Best boardwalk in NJ hands down

Super fun for kids. The staff is friendly and most seem to really enjoy being around kids. It is super crowded in the summer. (Duh.) But the lines move fairly quick.

This is a good place to go when you are on vacation. This place is more intended for kids, in my opinion. The rides are mostly for kids, excepts for a few. The rides are fun, just limited. If I were to pick Gillians, or castaway cove, right down the boardwalk, I would pick castaway cove

Wonderfull staff and park where amazing ..

Big ferris wheel!

Covid fun!

Great family fun always!

Fun place for small children, but way overpriced. Ride attendants were scarce, think thats a management issue, one poor guy had to go to the bathroom so bad, no one to help him, when he came back he let us on for free. That was the only positive thing that day.

Closed but still awesome to look at

Great place to go with little kids. Affordable and good rides for them

Our family made some great memories at Gillians. Beautiful views of the ocean.

If you have kids bring them here.

My grandson says This is the best Great place for children & Grandparents!
