1. Shrivers Salt Water Taffy

I visited Shrivers with my husband and family. The whole experience was great. They have tons of different flavors of taffy (I like the peppermint) which you can mix and match as you please. I have had taffy from a bunch of different spots in the US and this definitely tasted fresh. You can even see the taffy being made in the back of the store which is fun to watch. The atmosphere is great and there are fun other types of candy as well - I brought back some fudge for my mom which she liked. Definitely a good stop if you are in the area and craving sugar.
2. Encounters
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 93 reviews
There are 3 attractions at Encounters. First, there is a one of a kind, alien themed mirror maze. There are thousands of reflections, black lights, LED lighting effects, and even a few aliens to greet you along the way. Second, there is a laser maze. It's like in Mission Impossible, you try to avoid the lasers, complete 3 objectives, and escape the space vault in the fastest time possible. Lastly, there is Time Freak, which is a real life whack-a-mole game. You try to hit the lights on the wall as quickly as possible in order to achieve the high score.

This was my third visit to Glazed Over Studio on Asbury Avenue in Ocean City, NJ. Just as my prior visits, they did not disappoint. Overall, a truly outstanding experience. a) The studio is warm and welcoming. The studio is well lit and there is plenty of room to get creative. The tables are large and create a comfortable, creative environment. b) the workers were very attentive to my needs. They had an excellent selection of colored glazes and wide selection of brushes and materials. The workers were very knowledgeable and approachable. The staff was not pushy or overbearing. c) they stock a WIDE variety of different ceramic pieces from which to choose. From simple plates and coffee mugs, to beach /surfboard style items, to elaborate holiday pieces, to cars and trucks, to pieces geared toward young children, Glazed Over Studio had it all, in many price points. I recently painted a mug and an antique "light up" holiday truck. (See photos). d) My pieces were ready when promised. They have two on-site kilns and my pieces were beautifully fired and ready when promised. e) I never felt rushed. This place was very busy and they did not rush me at all.

10. Liberty Escape Rooms

Reviewed By loves2explore2015 - Emmaus, United States
I had several questions before booking the Escape Room, and Sam was great at answering all of them and made arrangements so that my family could enjoy the room privately since we booked an early time slot with our rambunctious one year old son, this was so appreciated and great customer service (thank you)! The room was fun, it was different than what we expected but it was our first escape room and we enjoyed the challenge and would definitely recommend others give it a try!
