What to do and see in Atlantic City, New Jersey (NJ): The Best Free Things to do
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.

May not be the biggest arcade in the state with newly announced upcoming hotel renovations but this arcade will always be the best in Atlantic City. If you are from AC or a return visitor, you don't have to be told. This boardwalk arcade IS AC. Its the stuff the history of AC is made of and that will never change. The best arcade ever and part of the memories, past and future, of every kid and adult who ever has or ever will walk the AC boardwalk.
