Wildwoods Boardwalk Named #1 Beach Boardwalk by Family Vacation Critic

Friday, February 24 2012spacer

In a recent article, Family Vacation Critic compiled a list of the Best Beach Boardwalks, naming the Wildwoods Boardwalk as the #1 Boardwalk for families. The article described the Wildwoods Boardwalk as a “festive strip of arcades, shops and restaurants” with enough rides and amusements to rival Disneyland.

“We are very proud and deeply honored by being recognized as the #1 Boardwalk in the country,” said Jack Morey, Executive Vice President of Morey’s Piers. “This recognition really belongs to all of the generations of families that make the Wildwoods their home away from home.”

Morey’s Piers and Beachfront Waterparks are a collection of amusement rides, dining experiences and ocean front waterparks spread across three amusement piers along the Boardwalk.

“The unique location and collections of experiences offers families a setting to create memories that will last a lifetime,” said Will Morey, President and CEO of Morey’s Piers. “Being stewards of the Wildwoods Boardwalk is something that we do not take lightly.”

Morey’s Piers emerged on the Boardwalk in 1969, and for the past 43 years has been family owned with the sole purpose of providing world-class family fun. Family Vacation Critic also recognized the nostalgic atmosphere of the Wildwoods Boardwalk in the Doo-Wop architecture and the five-mile stretch of free, award winning beaches.
