Enjoy it while visiting Ocean City in New Jersey

Gillian’s Wonderland Pier

Gillian’s Wonderland Pier is an integral part of the Ocean City Boardwalk’s history. The park, owned by a family with deep ties to Ocean City politics, has been intertwined with the boardwalk since its inception. Originally established in 1930 after a fire on the boardwalk, the park initially featured a Ferris wheel and a merry-go-round as its main attractions.

Over the years, Gillian’s Wonderland Pier has relocated and expanded, now offering over 25 exciting rides for visitors to enjoy. Whether you’re a young child or a person of any age, there are plenty of rides that will bring joy and entertainment to your day. Ticket prices vary, allowing travelers to choose the options that suit them best.

The Gillan’s Wonderland Pier has two rides that receive the highest acclaim from recent visitors. One of them is the carousel, which was constructed in the early 1900s and continues to bring joy to children. The other popular ride is the Canyon Falls Log Flume, known for its thrilling experience that appeals to older travelers. However, visitors unanimously agree that the park could benefit from some updates. Specifically, the Ferris wheel has been a disappointment for past visitors, as it is often not operational despite its impressive appearance.
