Game Rooms for kids

When I was in Tahoe a few of the casinos had really nice game rooms for kids. Does anyone know if any of the casinos in AC have a game room? I can%26#39;t seem to see any advertised,

Game Rooms for kids

None that i know of. They have the Steel Pier on the Boardwalk but unfortunately it is gone after this summer season. They have a mini golf setup on the Boardwalk which is nice.

As far as anything else being kid friendly theres not too much in AC. I believe Ocean City is much more kid / family friendly and others on the board could give you more info on Ocean City as i have never been there.

There is an arcade called playcade

There is also the central pier arcade %26amp; speedway on the Boardwalk near Resorts which has alot of games etc...

CHEERS !!!!!!

Game Rooms for kids

Harrah%26#39;s has one..it%26#39;s not bad. also one between taj and showboat, but it%26#39;s smaller. there%26#39;s an arcade on the boardwalk just before tropicana, heading south.


Not much of casino game rooms for kids in AC. The casinos are adult playgrounds. Trump Marina had a small game room--don%26#39;t know if it%26#39;s still there. I guess Harrah%26#39;s has one. The Taj Mahal might have the biggest one I%26#39;ve seen just off the boardwalk on the connecting walk to Showboat. It%26#39;s a small arcade room, but seems to be a popular place to dump kids off while their guardians watch a show or play in the adult areas.

But why bother with a casino? Across from the Taj is the world famous Steel Pier, full of amusements for all ages. But only open for another month or so. And, if the kids are able to do a little walking, there are a number of other arcade game businesses, minature golf, bumper cars, etc. along the boardwalk. Not many left, as AC is dominated by casino businesses that cater to adults looking for their fun.

There are tremendous amounts of games for kids a short drive from AC. Depending upon their ages, or preferences, there%26#39;s Ocean City and Wildwood. Great places, but not adult playgrounds as AC.


Thanks Everyone for your help!


It seems that when our kids were smaller, (they are in their 20s now) there were lots of game rooms in AC. Harrahs had a nice one on the second floor, Trump Marina had one far away from the casino action and lets not forget bowling alleys at the Showboat! Times have changed in AC as they and Vegas and both seem to have decided that the ';Family Vacation Destination'; doesn%26#39;t really work for their business model.

Yes, if you want someplace kid friendly, Ocean City is your bet. Just 12 miles to the south, it is a dry town with a total family friendly mindset. The boardwalk is shopping, eating, game rooms, and rides. There are two large amusement parks (Wonderland at the north end and Playland mid boardwalk) and even a water park. No booze in town means no bars on the boardwalk and they take their slogan America%26#39;s Greatest Family Vacation Destination very very seriously! Check it out, you won%26#39;t be disappointed!


Re: Frank and the Showboat bowling alley.

I thought I was the only one who remembers that fondly. My very first trip to AC was for a three day training class. The instructor loved AC so the classes averaged about 4 hours per day (not the expected 7), so I had plenty of time to lose most of my planned gambling money at slots the first day. Needless to say, short of $$$, I looked for something else to do - and bowling it was. I can remember thinking then how great it was to have so much entertainment under one roof (I was so young then...).
