10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Atlantic City That You Shouldn't Miss
It's the East Coast's answer to Las Vegas. Atlantic City's casinos draw tourists by the car- and bus-load, but even if your main objective is to play some blackjack, you'll want to save time for sightseeing. Stroll along the famous boardwalk with its numerous amusements and eateries or visit the historic, recently restored Absecon Lighthouse. Several fine courses attract golf enthusiasts, and in summer, local beaches are popular with families. Water-based activities include parasailing, charter fishing and tall ship cruises. Casino hoppers have 12 establishments to choose from, which run the gamut from elegance to a Wild West theme, so there's something for everyone's taste. Those who remember Atlantic City in its pre-gambling days can wax nostalgic with a taste of saltwater taffy, which has been an Atlantic City specialty for over 100 years.

This was such a fun activity, initially we were four people getting ready to go in and three people spontaneously walked in and were placed in our group. Initially I wasn't sure how it would go being we didn't know the people that were added. However, we bonded quickly under the circumstances and worked together very well! Everybody had a great time! We did NOT escape the room, unfortunately, but we had a fantastic time trying and are already planning our next Escape AC adventure! The staff and our game master Nick were very kind, patient and accomodating (since most of us were first timers, we had tons of questions/comments....a very chatty group!!). This is an awesome super fun experience, do not miss an opportunity to experience it!

We were staying in a town, nearby, for a long weekend & were looking for fun things to do & decided to check out Little Water Distillery! Our visit truly exceeded our expectations! Mark & his staff are amazing! First off, do the tour, hear the passionate amazing story behind this family venture, & you won’t be disappointed! All of the cocktails are very tasty; the “mules” are made with their own ginger beer & spirit of choice! The spirits are all very good! I love the story behind the names! We will return the next time we are in NJ! I encourage you to also support this small business!

MADE Atlantic City Chocolate Bar is a bean-to-bar chocolate shop. Husband and wife, Mark and Deb Pellegrino, have joined forces in the kitchen to create single origin chocolate and a unique environment for their guests to enjoy it. In addition to great chocolate, guests can indulge in wine by the glass or bottle, local brews or a dessert and cocktail menu: all of which incorporate MADE chocolate.

Highly recommended. The "bar" was empty on the late Sunday afternoon we visited, and we were treated very well by the servers and owner. My wife had a chocolate martini and Philly style pretzel with a chocolate dipping cup, I opted for the wine and chocolate pairing flight. Every bite better than the one before. A lot of fun and so, so rich!
