I believe the Showboat is opening or just opened a water park. Other than that, I would not let them go unsupervised because kids are kids. You may not openly see it and I have been to AC millions of times & never had a problem, but there is some riff raff on the Boardwalk. You can't be too careful these days especially with other people's kids & you are supposed to be supervising. There is one pier with rides near Resorts & the Hard Rock.
