Gilamco Inc.t/a Gillian's Wonderland Pier Reviews

Going through some changes in the rides, good kids entertainment.

Very nice, lots of stores and restaurants and areas to eat outside and inside

Just love this family oriented amusement park! We wouldn't miss it!!

Love this place!! 3 Genorations of memories, and still going..thank you!!

It is a very fun place to explore. The rides are average but it did gives you the thrills and fun. Not very crowded if you visit around this time.

Great place to go with little kids. Affordable and good rides for them

Ferris Wheel still hasn't opened for the 2019 season

Always a fun time. A little pricey, but worth it due to proximity to the beach and good food!

Open at 1 pm. Has moved to card to hold tickets for rides. Can still redeem the old paper tickets. Daughter is 36 inches and able to do a fair amount of rides. Kids had a blast. Half of park inside a building that gives shade but no ac.

Located at the 6th street entrance to the boardwalk. Decent selection of rides and huge funnel cakes. Nice thing is they upgraded to rechargable cards ala Dave and Busters. No extra ticket sheets or books to worry about it.

Best overall experience for a family !!
Reasonably priced, good ride selection, fun for all ...
Summer of 2019 the pier is in flux for new upcoming rides ... But still fun for all

Fun for the kids, and nice that some rides are in the shade. Some rides seem old and in need of an update.

It's so cute and ideal for little ones. Has 3-5 small rides where they ride alone. Scary at first but comforting to be so close to them.

Had fun there with the kids. Recommend to go if you are at the boardwalk

I have been going here since 1985 but this place has really gone downhill over the last few years. Took my son today for our annual trip and was disappointed with how many rides were closed considering it s a Saturday in August. The ferris wheel is closed for the second straight summer. They should really let people know what is closed on their website or at least at the ticket window. Won t be going back until they make some major improvements.

This is an amusement area that is suited for children between the ages of 3 to 12. The rides such as merry go round, boats and other slow moving rides are near the entry off the boardwalk and are geared toward younger children. A highlight for younger children is the Thomas the Train monorail that travels throughout the whole entertainment area.

The larger and faster rides are near the back of the pier. Graviton, swings, bumper cars, log flume and a haunted house are solid entertainment for older kids.

The hookup special is the $10 unlimited rides offered in Sundays between 9 to 11pm.

Drop the younger kids off with the grandparents and hit the boards for a couple of hours! If you have older kids over 12, push on further south on the boardwalk to larger rides.

Great family atmosphere, great food and great entertainment.

Great for the whole family very clean and not just for young or old kids.

Best ferris wheel in Ocean City! Great views at sunset!

Visiting from Colorado. Prices seemed a little high, but the kids loved it! Excellent variety of rides for the whole family.

Wonderful place with great rides! Great for kids of all ages.

Rides are okay, kinda overpriced. Kids still had fun.

If you have little ones this is the pier to go to down in ocean city new Jersey the workers was pleasant

Although we got stuck sideways on a ride and I almost had a heart attack, I loved it here maybe more than my kids. I went there when I was younger and it was so nostalgic. Great for the younger ones.

Watch their Facebook page for discounts in the sping.

Typical boardwalk. My kids had fun and there were things to see and do.

A great safe family destination for toddlers through early teens. The type of place where memories are made.

the kids had so much fun...there is no doubt the family will have a good time! Plus you pay as you go

If it's money you like to spend, here's your place! Kids loved it.

Family friendly. Kids love it. Tickets are pricy though. Best to get tickets in the offseason when they are on sale.

Some of the rides are great others look like they predate the boardwalk, a good mix of things to do, my nephew loved it but the lines were long and the space was a little cramped between rides

Kiddie rides are nice but way overpriced. The good news is that, as a result, there are no lines!

I REALLY hate to give this place a bad review- but I feel the need to. I've gone to Wonderland Pier since I was a kid, and even continued to visit every year. Now I am a father of two, and planned to have my kids enjoy the same fun I did as a child. I just visited this again this year, and the amount of tickets needed to ride the rides has been jacked up to the point, that I will not be going back. It is $6.00 per person to ride the ferris wheel- so for my family to ride ONE ride together it would be $24.00?! Unbelievable! They also jacked the price of the carousel from 1 ticket, to 3 tickets. The real kicker is that many rides require a child to be accompanied by a adult- and they have the nerve to charge you to accompany your child. So to ride a simple ride, it could be $8.00 to $10.00 average for my daughter to go on, since she MUST be accompanied by me. They also ruined some of the charm of the older rides, by painting over them. (the kiddie boats for example had names on them for 30+ years) We also had a incident on the caterpillar roller coaster, where the train slammed backwards violently on the hill. The chain to lift the coaster up the hill was not on when cart approached the hill. It then got switched on, and since the cart was already at a dead stop on the hill, everyone got jerked real hard from it, and two people got off because they hit their head. Well this was my last year for Wonderland. My family and I went to Playland (Castaway Cove) and feel like this is going to be our new place for rides in Ocean City. They charge less tickets per ride, and don't charge the parents to accompany their children. This makes it much more affordable, and I don't feel like I'm being robbed. From the looks of it, many people are discovering this is the place to go...they had much more of a crowd than Wonderland on the same night. Like I said I hate to give Wonderland a bad review, but they have gone downhill....

This is a good place to go when you are on vacation. This place is more intended for kids, in my opinion. The rides are mostly for kids, excepts for a few. The rides are fun, just limited. If I were to pick Gillian's, or castaway cove, right down the boardwalk, I would pick castaway cove

Tuesday 12 to 4 is 2 tickets for any single ride. After 4 pm, some reason Des are 3 tickets, some are 4, some are 5 etc. Each ticket is a $1. One water ride with just one drop can set you back by $5 per person after 4 pm. Rather expensive.

Great rides, lots of fun for the kids....great Boardwalk food.

Disappointed that several rides are not functioning, again this year. Seems to be in decline.

Fun rides, can get pricey. Improvements have been made to update it over the past few years.

A great place to bring kids to let them ride the rides by them selves it's geared more for the smaller kids

Very few running rides. Most of the rides are for small children. Overpriced. $6 for one drop on the Double Shot.

Kids loved it! The workers all had masks. There were discreet 6ft markers for social distancing. Workers were kind. They wiped stuff down between rides

Great place to go to spend some quality time with your family. Parking is a bit high and the prices of the rides are up there but you can find some deals to help with the cost.

It's our favorite "amusement park" to visit on the boardwalk. Quite a few decent rides and some alright food options inside. Lines are typically pretty short and most of the staff are friendly and welcoming. Just make sure you get your tickets early in the year when it's half price!

A fun place for 5-15 year olds. Only a few rides are able to accommodate adult sized humans.For being on the boardwalk it is very expansive. I will say it can get a bit crowded so probably good to have one adult to every 2-3kids as it is easy to get lost. We like to go ride just a few things at a time every few days while vacationing but I could see where it could be a very expensive evening if you plan on hanging out there for more than 3 rides as you do pay per ride/per person. But overall it is a boardwalk staple worth visiting at least once on your trip! Not to mention, it's definitely the best collection of rides/games on the best and most family friendly- Ocean City- boardwalk of all the Jersey coast.

The prices for tickets is very fare and there are alot of rides for children to ride and have fun.

I love the man and dog and the rides. Especially the monorail train ride.

Had a grand time and lots of memories with my daughter.

Great family games and kiddie rides, as well as some adult rides. You can spend hours creating memories. Right on the boardwalk and the Atlantic Ocean.

Great rides for younger children. A bit pricey but the kids love it.

Love the nostalgic memories ofnthis place i remember going there a child

Great place for little ones. The rides here are for 5 and younger. They don't require someone riding with them. My niece had so much fun her she didn't know what to do with herself.
