You can also catch big-name performers, ranging from comedians such as Kevin Hart and Jerry Seinfeld to musical acts like Rod Stewart and Alicia Keys. In addition to major concerts, the circa 1929 Boardwalk Hall offers indoor spectator sports and other special events (it\u2019s also the home of the largest pipe organ in the world!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic Experiences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For family-friendly city fun, the boardwalk\u2019s Steel Pier has swirling-twirling rides, including a classic carousel, a Ferris wheel with Atlantic Ocean views, and the thrilling Slingshot bungee over the beach. During cold weather, visit Island Waterpark at Showboat, one of the largest indoor water parks in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To experience a beloved, local landmark, head 6 miles south of Atlantic City to the town of Margate. Here you\u2019ll find Lucy the Elephant, a six-story-tall, more than 140-year-old, wooden structure that\u2019s listed on the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-theme-palette-1-color\">Dining Scene<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dining out is a favorite pastime in Atlantic City. Celebrity chefs \u2014 including Nobu Matsuhisa (Caesars), Gordon Ramsay (Harrah\u2019s), and Michael Symon (Borgata) \u2014 have restaurants tucked into AC\u2019s casino hotels. You also can\u2019t go wrong at the iconic Knife and Fork Inn, with a century of history and high-quality seafood and steaks. Angelo\u2019s Fairmount Tavern is another local institution; it\u2019s been serving up red sauce Italian cuisine since 1935, while Tony\u2019s Baltimore Grill is a local favorite to grab a pizza after a night on the town.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns6132_17306b-bb{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:flex-start;align-items:center;}.kt-btns6132_17306b-bb .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns6132_17306b-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns6132_17306b-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns6132_17306b-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns6132_17306b-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns6132_17306b-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns6132_17306b-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns6132_17306b-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns6132_17306b-bb\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn6132_be8e70-78.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn6132_be8e70-78.kb-button{border-top-left-radius:5px;border-top-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-left-radius:5px;border-top:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-right:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-bottom:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-left:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn6132_be8e70-78.kb-button{border-top:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-right:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-bottom:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-left:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn6132_be8e70-78.kb-button{border-top:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-right:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-bottom:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-left:2px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn6132_be8e70-78 kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intervalworld.com\/web\/cs?a=95&#038;url=https:\/\/www.intervalworld.com\/web\/cs%3fa=1502%26areaCode=160&#038;intcmp=PUB_2025FEB7_DigitalPublication_GLOBAL_ALL_NA_NA_Vacation_Ideas_2025JAN29_Resort_Directory_AtlanticCity_NewJersey_NA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\"><strong>Start Planning Now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atlantic City was the home of the first boardwalk in the country (circa 1870), and it\u2019s just as entertaining as an urban destination today as when it first wowed guests with its beachside location and fantastic attractions (hello diving horses and the Miss America Pageant).
