Reply to comment by whskid2005 in Follow-up: Does the Atlantic City boardwalk have enough to entertain a group of 14 year olds for 2-3 hours? Just wanting some beach shops, an arcade, ferris wheel, go-karts, etc. Closer and cheaper than Wildwood, not sure if there's a noticeable difference for that brief of a visit by garbageeater

Places like Wildwood, Point Pleasant, Ocean City, Seaside make their money from families feeling safe. They will identify a creep or scumbag and toss his ass out rapidly.

I'm not sure AC has enough experienced anti-scumbag detection infrastructure yet.

Like 1 out of 5 people is already a scallywag in AC. People go to AC to drink, gamble, and be a scallywag.

I'm not letting my kids run around alone there.

The kids are 14, not 9. I think a few hours during the day walking up and down the boardwalk and shopping is probably okay. Plus, free beaches make the cost for families more affordable. Lots to do there besides gamble and drink.

If this was Asbury park? Sure I guess. I lived in Newark for 8 years and still work there. I would not let my teenage children walk around AC alone for hours.

There are a lot of tattoo parlors, and I don’t think people check IDs….. just saying
