The blocks below will define the different areas of Ocean City so you can choose the perfect hotel as your base of operations. Do you want an indoor or outdoor pool or both?

Do you want your kids to be able to get up and play on the beach at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill or would you rather have them have a pirate ship to climb on?

Start with our Area Guide, then choose your hotel, and you have the basis for a fabulous family vacation!
The key to a fun stress free trip with the family is research and planning. At the top of the list is finding a easily accessible place to stay that is located near the activities you plan to do.

Surely the first thing that comes to mind when you picture your kids having a blast in OC is Trimper’s Rides on the boardwalk, or Jolly Roger Amusement Park on the boardwalk and on 28th street. But besides those boardwalk staples, there are limitless other entertainment options for kids: for the fantasy-loving adventurers, there’s the gold-mining, zip-lining, train-riding fun of Frontier Town, and the swashbucklin’ good time of Pirate Adventures. If your kids love to learn, take a trip to the boardwalk’s Life-Saving Museum or discover all the weirdness of the world at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. And for the thrill-seekers, fear not: you’re certain to find something you love at Baja Amusements, Speedworld Go-Karts, Under the Bridge Watersports or OC Screams. By the way, on 90-degree days, don’t forget that Jolly Roger’s and Frontier Town both have waterparks, and you can also venture out to Fenwick for Thunder Lagoon.
Free activities abound all year in Ocean City. During the summer, you can catch some Movies on the Beach throughout the week at 118th and 27th Streets, cheer on your team at the Family Beach Olympics every Tuesday evening, or bring the kids out to play in the spotlighted sand during the 100 Nights of Lights. Keep your eyes peeled for free events throughout the rest of the year, too – the city is pretty good about offering free family entertainment, you just have to know how to find it (and we’ll always keep you updated).
