    Tickets are 1.75$ each, 60$ for 50 tickets or 80$ for 80. Rides are 4-8 tickets each so they go by fast. Well run, well kept. Good place to hang out with friends or family.

    Steel Pier is a very nice family amusement park for the family. There's tons of carnival foods all around. Live music next door and a lot of games and rides. You purchase tickets, one per dollar and you use those tickets to go on rides. The park closes at midnight so you have ample time to experience everything. There's also the helicopter ride for $70 for about 20 mins which is pretty cheap. Overall this is a nice place for the family to have fun

    Great time your typical carnival or fair type stuff. Ferris wheel is $15 a person and you go around a couple times, it’s a cool view of the boardwalk. Variety of rides for all ages.

    Great place to take a walk, basically an amusement park for kids, some food vendors, purchase tickets for rides. Great for all ages. Definitely worth visiting while at AC beach.

    Beautiful Pier! I had the opportunity to be a customer and also work there. The ride operators are the nicest people from all over the world, always making sure the rides are safe and clean and working correctly. The views are amazing, the Wheel is a must! And if you like the adrenaline rush, try the Slingshot as well!

    Took my granddaughter on the rides on the steel pier. She loved it. It's not overcrowded, and there isn't a long wait to get on the rides

    Visited on a weekday night and was not super busy. All staff is great. Smiling and helpful. They have tons of ride options for littles and big alike. Rode ferris wheel and was afraid kids wouldn’t enjoy it but they did. Recommend it to do it at night so you can see the lights of the boardwalk. Very loud on the pier with music from games, rides and music played by employees at the rides. Not recommended for people who are sensitive to sounds.

    A fun place to check out with the kids. We walked all the way to the end to check out the ocean views too. The kids played a few games, but weren't interested in the rides. It's nice that you can walk around the place for free and then just buy tickets for what you're interested in.

    We visited Steel Pier in mid-September and were shocked to find that, despite the great weather, the pier was closed. After talking with a few locals, we learned that after labor day Steel Pier only opens on weekends (and sometimes only on Saturdays). There was only one ride, the Ferris Wheel, which was open during the week. We decided to try the Ferris Wheel on a weekday for sunset and it was pretty incredible. It's definitely the best view in Atlantic City. Even if you don't do the ride, I recommend walking up to the ticket booth just to sit in the giant chairs and enjoy the sunset from the pier.

    First time at Atlantic City and of course I had to Visit This fair, and I loved it. Recommend you to buy the 80 tickets for 85$ if you’re planning to stay there for couple of hours. 10/10 service!

    I got on the wheel and boy was I in for an exhilarating experience. Compared to the wheel at Coney Island this is huge! Goes to scary heights but has the most beautiful and peaceful views. Also the amusement games are very fun and everyone is a winner, meaning you’ll leave with some sort of souvenir. Perfect for a family outing. The wheel is about 15 per person and you get to go around twice. Will go again.

    Parking was closeish. The parking meter was difficult and it took us some time to figure it out. The pier itself is very busy. We went on a Sunday night. Tickets were 80$/80 tickets or 1.75 a piece. Recommended for small children. There are height and weight limitations on most rides. The kiddies rides are close to the entrance and the further back you go is where you'll find some adult rides. Lots of Carnival type eats, but I had nachos for 15$ and they were edible, but not worth the price. Sodas are 4$. My kids loved the rides, and my husband and I enjoyed a couple ourselves. Just know the Ferris/observation Wheel is a separate cost. 12.75 a person. Air-controlled Gondolas. We did not ride yet. All in all I would say it was family-friendly and entertaining. I would recommend bringing a wagon to carry your young kids in. Checked out the Ferris wheel on the 2nd night. It goes around twice. It's 15$ per person and they take tourist photos. Great views, it's the 4th largest in the U.S., only complaint was the windows from the Gondolas was all condensation. Luckily the attendant fixed it on one side, wish they'd of done it on the other. Regardless we enjoyed and I wish I purchased the Family Shot.

    My kids didn't really want to go on any rides. One of them went on the sling. The people working at the sling were very nice. :) The young lady was always smiling.

    A chance to experience a ton of ppl and personalities. Highly recommend the helicopter ride...games were nice but prizes were a little weathered

  • 2/5 Edwin H. 8 months ago on Google
    Looks cool just too sketchy, like everything looked like it hasn’t been serviced in awhile. Prices were ridiculous. Some just has false pricing. Example: funnel cake priced at $9 but got charged $11.

    Great little place for children. Small but a great add on to any day. Did not have to wait too long, good selection and parents with small children are always friendly :) made some new friends

    Nostalgia everywhere; Ferris wheel is the way to go to see everything. Walking to boardwalk brings back memories and if you get tired you can always hire a 'taxi' or rent a bike

  • 5/5 joe31400 7 months ago on Google
    A very cool place to check out, especially at night. Gives a Santa Monica pier feel, but on the east coast. Plenty of games to play and also a helicopter tour on the pier as well.
