Mariner's Arcade - Arcades Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

This is truly the best arcade on the boardwalk! My family and I love coming here in the summer. They have awesome prize options and games that you can really win big on. Their claw machines are fun too and actually work! So many are rigged and I've won multiple times here. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It does get crowded, but it is definitely worth it! Be sure to ask about their VIP card. If you get a certain number of tickets, you can get a VIP card! They keep track of your points so you don't need to worry about losing the slips if you decided to save your points and not get a prize right away. You also get 10% off when getting prizes! This is the spot for summer arcade fun on the Wildwood Boardwalk! read more

Spent about 2 hours a day at the wizard of oz game + woke up early for open + ended up getting 5 of the Toto cards on Memorial Day weekend. 10/10 read more

Mariner's Arcade has always been the best on the boardwalk, or anywhere for that matter! I am not at all a fan of the new card system, but even so it is still the best arcade around when it comes to redemption and claws that actually pay out! read more

The best arcade on the Wildwood boardwalk! Here you will find a clean, friendly environment with staff and management that care about your experience. All the games are new and working! There are prizes for everyone, or they will get you what you want! read more

This place is ADDICTING!! I would bring like $200-300 just to play games here! THE PLACE IS HUGE!! The games are so much fun it will make you feel like a little kid. From skee-ball to the circus game or wizard of oz game everything is a blast. You can accumulate your points if you visit yearly and save them for the year to come. The prizes they have are SUPER COOL. That includes everything from sports memorabilia to jewelry and kids toys... hands down best prizes on the boardwalk!! The only place I do prefer to play the "crane games" is Ed's arcade. Other than that I love mariners! They also have great poker machines which are so much fun and addicting so beware!! I love how some of the machines give you actual tickets and it's not just added to your card, brings you back to the 90s! read more

Mariner's Arcade - I'm a ticket queen! - Arcades Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

My favorite arcade on the boardwalk for the last 15 years. It has a great selection of ticket and coin-reward games including skeeball, video poker, claw machines, scoopers, video games, Deal-or-No-Deal, and more. However, unlike other arcades on the boardwalk, they invest in bringing in repeat customers with frequent buyer cards to store your points (and give you bonuses), extra points for changing quarters there, and special bonus-point games every hour on the hour for either skeeball or video poker. The prizes offered are also better than your average boardwalk swag, so you can actually get more than a mustache comb and a wax mustache to bring home for souvenirs. Mariner's is centrally-located on the boardwalk as well, and air-conditioned, serving as a ready-made spot to stop when you need to sit down and cool off from the summer heat. You can't find a better spot on the boardwalk to rack up points, and get your prizes to show off later. read more

25 cent pinball is where it's at. That's the biggest attraction here and it's no surprise! Plus it's usually not as crowded as some other arcades on the boardwalk which is odd, since this is one of the nicer ones. Tons of claw machines though, but it's best to avoid that frustration since I've never won anything here and only saw someone win once. Still worth a look though. read more

For those with small kids not able to ride all the bigger amusement park rides, this arcade is where to go. They kids can find plenty to do and see in here, and there are plenty of games for the adults to get into as well. Between the lights, large arcade video games, spinning wheels, quarter dozers, video poker, and plenty more, there is something for everyone. As with any arcade that dishes out tickets to later exchange for cheap prizes, it can get frustrating winning enough tickets for anything worth while, but thats all part of the fun. Lines at the ticket/prize counter were very short, even for a Saturday summer night, as there were plenty of employees ready to help. Had an issue with one of the machines taking quarters and not working, but it was promptly fixed. Huge crowds of people moving in and out of the arcade, but traffic seemed to flow well and it wasnt too difficult to gain access to the games. Inside was clean. read more

THE arcade to visit on the Wildwood Boardwalk! Mariner's Arcade has the best games, incredibly fun skee-ball tournaments and the best kept secret soda machine for miles (only 50 cents!) Sign up for a VIP card. It's free and it sure beats carrying around all those ticket/point receipts in your wallet. It'll earn you bonuses too. I love the scooper machines. One night last year I earned like 10,000 points on that thing! read more

This is the best of the arcades in Wildwood. It has a good selection of games, all in working order and a surprisingly hard-working and friendly staff, quite helpful in picking out prizes for the tickets you have earned. The value proposition here is good; I figure that at retail you can expect to get about 35% of your money back in prizes, depending on which games you play. Our favorites (based upon playing time of our 7-year-old and the adults in our party) were Yahtzee and Wizard of Oz. Hint: On Wizard of Oz, the rare card is Todo (you must get all seven cards to win 50,000 points - about $20 worth of prizes). read more

This is probably the best arcade on the boardwalk. Tons of different games. Tons of fun. Tons of prizes (from candy to beats headphones to Xbox one and ps4 to small appliances to bicycles and a lot of sports memorabilia). Very helpful staff when you encounter a problem, however some are a little difficult to understand as most are not American and have thick accents and may not speak English very well. Still a great arcade to visit and will visit every time while in Wildwood! read more

THE ABSOLUTE BEST ARCADE ON THE WILDWOOD BOARDWALK! So many games to choose from, including The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, skeeball, video poker, and slot machines! It's so awesome! And you get awesome prizes that you can win with the tickets! I love to come here to play arcade games every summer! It's the greatest! read more

stay away from the arcade on the Wildwood Boardwalk by the upper Moreys Pier. My sister and I went in two nights to honor her son's memory who passed away 2 years ago and that is one of the things he enjoyed . After her spending 40 in the two nights and myself spending 40 in the two nights and spending probably at least 40 alone on a claw machine that had small monkeys (which was one of her sons favorite things to make while on vacation) and no luck we took our arcade cards with our points to the cashier. Once she told us our points I asked her if instead of picking something if we could get one of the monkeys. she told me to go find someone on the floor to open up the claw machine and bring one to her. We explained to her how important this was and thanked her for allowing us to do this. After her and I crying she proceeded to tell is that we need 500 more points if we purchase a 30 card that would give is enough. i cannot believe that after we told her how much that meant to her she could not do that. You can put a dollar in that machine and with luck you can win one. how can anyone see the pain someone is In and that just a little stuffed animal would mean the world to them. Please do not support such inconsiderate and unsympathetic people. read more

Do NOT play the small claw machines. Played twice ($1 each try), the claw picked up the charmander the first try and pikachu the second. Both times right before being dropped in the bin, the toys fells through the claws grasp. Clearly rigged to be unable to even support the weight of the toys in the game. Waste of your money and I can't even imagine having a kid play this and being so disappointed after clearly getting the toy they wanted. The video games are fun and everything else was fine- the claw machine is just a scam . And for a toy that was probably ten cents, it is just ridiculous. read more

I'm not picky when it comes to arcades,but, they are the best. Always a variety and the latest games. I even commend them for their cheap-ass soda machine, though, I'm not sure if they've changed the prices since last year. read more

Love this place! There are tons of different games to play, I could spend all night here! They have some terrific big ticket items to win, but their lower ticket trade in prizes aren't that great. They give you a receipt to save your points from turning in your tickets, so you can save up and get something really good! read more

Best arcade at the shore. Clean, well kept equipment, friendly and attentive staff, wide range of games and prizes, good spacing between machines, daily specials. We love to hit the arcade and have been to every other one. None can complete. read more

Staff was nice, but the cranes were not. Who would program these things to grip solid and lift the object, but then open up completely at the top? I know these things are all "rigged" to payout every so often but to make it blatant to children and adults alike is just depressing. read more
