Expect the usual arcades, fast food places, games of chance, kitschy shops selling t-shirts, etc. Since we were there in October in the middle of covid-19 season, a lot of things were closed. There was one pier full of amusement rides but it was closed. Wildwood New Jersey's Boardwalk is significantly longer and has many more options. Kids can enjoy the many boardwalk rides, there are a number of great restaurants and young adults will love the nightlife scene. The Seaside Heights Boardwalk is home to Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach, two great attractions for kids and families. Hours upon hours.

“Be YeForewarned”

  • Golf putters are available for people of all sizes. The club should be no taller than the waist line. Special small plastic children’s putters are available upon request.
  • Accessible golf putters are also available.
  • All holes require a “putt” only – golfers should not swing the club higher than their waist. For safety reasons, anyone “driving” the ball will be asked to leave the course. It is strictly against the rules to play anywhere except on the carpet.
  • To keep the flow of traffic fun for everyone, we ask that you kindly break up your group if there are more than 6 golfers.
  • The course is marked in chronological order as players are taken on an adventure through the nautical themed course.
  • The miniature golf course offers thrills, excitement, and benches to sit. Shade is provided in some cave areas. Sunscreen is recommended!
  • Be sure to bring a camera – there are lots of photo opportunities at Smuggler’s Quay Adventure Golf!
  • The Buccaneer course is accessible with an elevator available upon request.
  • Spectators are allowed to watch their group play at no charge.
  • Attendants are seated at the entrance and throughout the course – they are there to help you with whatever you may need, feel free to ask!
  • The course has uneven terrain and may increase the risk of injury. Please pay attention and watch your step.
  • No alcoholic beverages or smoking permitted on the property.
  • Smuggler’s Quay Adventure Golf (and Seaside Speedway Go-Karts right next door) is a great “date night” idea!

Casino Pier is an amusement park situated on a pier, in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, United States. The pier opened in 1932 and formerly extended approximately 300 ft (91 m) into the Atlantic Ocean, from the narrow strip of the Barnegat Peninsula (approximately 6 blocks) in which Seaside Heights is situated.

Casino Pier was partially destroyed in October 2012 after part of the pier collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean due to the storm surge generated by Hurricane Sandy.[1] Park management rebuilt the pier's lower deck, and a shortened version of the pier reopened with limited rides in 2013.[2] An expansion for the pier opened in 2017, which includes Hydrus (a Euro-Fighter roller coaster) and a Ferris wheel.

Facilities[edit]

Casino Pier just after Hurricane Sandy

Casino Pier is an amusement facility center composed of numerous rides, games, and concession stands. Before Hurricane Sandy, there were 38 rides on the pier, ranging from family rides to roller coasters; other attractions include a rooftop miniature golf course, a chairlift that runs the length of the Seaside Height's boardwalk north of Casino Pier, a figure 8 Go-Kart track, and numerous concession stands which serve typical boardwalk fare (pizza, cheese steaks, sausage sandwiches, ice cream, funnel cake, and lemonade).

Located in the Casino Pier Arcade, between the boardwalk and Ocean Terrace is the historic antique carousel built by Dentzel and Looff in 1910 named the Dr. Floyd L. Moreland Carousel. This carousel first arrived in Seaside in 1928. A Wurlitzer style #146-A Military Band Organ originally built in 1923 is also included to provide the carousel's music. The arcade also houses the Pier Grille, a restaurant. The arcade features numerous arcade games, including claw and pusher redemption games, many popular video games, as well as classic arcade offerings such as Skee-Ball, pinball, and video poker.

The pier itself also featured several games. Some are games of chance, such as spinning wheels, but more often, the games involved a rudimentary amount of skill, such as a ring toss, basketball shoot, and Ladder Climb.

Although most of Casino Pier's offerings have been on the pier itself, additional Casino Pier recreational and concessional areas are located on the boardwalk between Grant Avenue and Sherman Avenue. Casino Pier owns a water park across the street, Breakwater Beach, which was remodeled in 2003 from the original Water Works water park that once stood on the property. Breakwater Beach incorporates numerous water slides with a heavy focus on families. Breakwater Beach has undergone several phases of reconstruction, and several slides have been rebuilt.

The antique Dentzel/Looff carousel was acquired from Casino Pier in 2017 to refurbish and relocate it. The carousel has been closed and was shut off on April 7, 2019 and the disassembly and relocation process began in November 2019. The carousel will eventually be relocated to a new building which will eventually be built specifically to house it and to be a carousel museum. The building is planned to be located next to the boardwalk between Carteret and Sampson avenues.[3] The carousel is scheduled to reopen in its new location by 2021.[4]
