Reply to comment by garbageeater in Follow-up: Does the Atlantic City boardwalk have enough to entertain a group of 14 year olds for 2-3 hours? Just wanting some beach shops, an arcade, ferris wheel, go-karts, etc. Closer and cheaper than Wildwood, not sure if there's a noticeable difference for that brief of a visit by garbageeater

I think if you stay with your kids you should be fine. I would not let them roam unattended. There are some shady individuals on the boardwalk.

So we went to AC this past summer. Walked the boardwalk with kids, both teens. They had some things to do, rides, candy shop, etc. would I leave my teens to roam the board walk while I went to a casino. Definitely not. Numerous drunk/ high individuals roaming the board walk. One or two where visibly agitated and punching walls. This was around 11-2 am so I only imagine the evening would be worse.

Yeah. We almost stayed because we were fine with Irene, But when they said 12 foot storm surge, we weren’t going to risk it. Storm surge is nothing to F with. Got 2 feet of water on our first floor. Would have been terrify to watch that come in. My street has never had that kind of water before. Crazy.
