Took my soon to be 7 yo son on this adventure with my mother in law. We go there 30 minutes early. It's on the bay side of Ocean City and about a few minutes from where we stayed (15th and Central). There was parking on the street but the lot was full because the Aquapark was going on at the same time. You get there early and go to the store, which has gifts and the bathroom and the person at the register will provide you with tickets for the ride. They do face paintings and tatoos, some pretty simple stuff, so don't go asking for a Picasso or anything cause it's the talented kids who basically covers the register, provides the pirate entertainment, and does the face painting. The ride was really entertaining as the crew consists of the captain and two high school girls providing entertainment (jokes and stories). If your kid is say 10 and under they would really enjoy it. I think the older ones would probably snicker a bit. But yea, great activity to take your kid on if you're here for a week! read more
