We had a great experience and will definitely be back the next time we're in Wildwood.

Welcome to mini-golf course #26!…read more Duffer's is now my favorite mini-golf course in the Wildwoods, and it's not because I scored a hole-in-one. Even with summer winding down, the course is in fantastic shape. It's a fun course with holes that seem to chat to you, others playing music, and one even has a volcano eruption! There's so much to see and do for kids of all ages. They don't have stairs to climb, but some holes have hidden slopes that are worth keeping an eye out for.

We came here around 11:30am on a Sunday. The arcade was little busy. Their price for chips was really good, I bought 120 chips for only $30. Most of the arcade games required 6-10 chips. 120 chips lasted about 15 minutes for us playing different games non stop. The arcade had good variety of games. The prize counter also had lots of prizes to redeem the winning tickets. Prizes ranged from 50 to 10,000 tickets. For our stash of only 400 tickets, the kids in our group were able to get multiple items. After the arcade we went to the ice cream store. The store looked really nice. It was only for to go, but some benches were available outside. They had about 34 different flavors and whole of different toppings. For base, cones, waffles and cups were available. We ordered two different ice creams flavors in waffle cones. The staff members assembled them right away and handed to us. They put so much ice cream and it was so hot, the ice cream started to melt and drip. So they gave us cups to hold them upside down. The ice creams had really tasty flavors. They were creamy with no icy parts. They were also very pricey, each costing around $10. But overall we all had a fun time here between the arcade and ice creams.

If you're in Wildwood and craving ice cream, The Dugout is an absolute must-visit! This place isn't just an ice cream shop--it's an experience. The entire spot is decked out in an epic baseball theme, from the decor to the menu, and it's perfect for families, baseball fans, or anyone who appreciates a fun, nostalgic vibe. The ice cream? Out of the park! Rich, creamy, and served in generous portions. They have a fantastic variety of flavors and creative sundaes, and the staff is always friendly and quick to serve even on busy nights. It's clear they take pride in both their product and their atmosphere. There's even fun seating and baseball-themed photo ops that make it more than just a quick stop--it's a destination. Whether you're cooling off after a day at the beach or just in the mood for something sweet, The Dugout hits it out of the park every time. Definitely a GRAND SLAM AND 5-star spot. Can't wait to come back next summer! read more

Also, a reminder - cash only! Every time I've walked by here, there were always plenty of people waiting in line, even 10 at night. Sometimes out the door and near the parking area. Now, I understand why. The ice cream here is worth it. Plenty of great creations. Really nicely decorated ice cream store. It's perfect to bring your family or your friends. It's everything you would imagine from an ice cream store. We chose the Brownie Sundae. It was delicious! Really well made, with the brownies around the ice cream. It was big enough to be shared or eaten alone. I'm excited to try more when I'm here again. We will definitely be back!
