I like the Steel Pier. Even though I'm old enough to gamble, the pier still has enough appeal to pull me out of the casino and out into the sunshine. At the entrance, food stands sell everything from funnel cake to popcorn to cotton candy to ice cream. Enjoy. You've earned it.
The entrance is lined with games of chance...water race games, knock over the milk bottles with a baseball, get a softball in the basket, nearly every one you've ever seen. The prizes are pretty good, but beware of game vendors who will try to convince you to keep playing, will promise you prizes no matter what as long as you try and try again. If you don't win, you will probably end up with a stuffed animal the size of a keychain, and will have to win 20 more so that you can trade up for a medium sized prize.
The rides. There's the Crazy Mouse roller coaster, bumper cars, bumper boats, a kiddie go cart track, and lots of others. For adults, a ride called the rocket may have you wishing that you'd stayed on the blackjack table. ($20 a shot). You can also get yourself a helicopter ride over the Atlantic, see Atlantic City from the ocean, the air, the way the seagulls do. ($25 per person).
