Although Wildwood is primarily known for being a shore town, there are several historic and recreational sites.
Historic town hall is located in the center of Wildwood, as well as several small local museums. Many of the town's motels were built in the'Doo-Wop" era of 1950's and 1960's, which makes for some very unique looks. The interesting architecture and brightly lit signs sure makes Wildwood one of a kind to visit during your stay there.
Wildwood boasts beautiful landscapes, which can be seen by taking a helicopter ride, or a boat tour, both of which are available daily.
There is a miniature aquarium located on the boardwalk that often hosts interactive exhibits.
Wildwood is also home to one of the country's oldest wooden roller coasters and the tallest ferris wheel on the east coast, which can be seen from miles, especially at night when it is lit up with an array of neon lights.
The convention center, which is located at the end of the boardwalk, often has various activities, demonstations, and shows.
The historic Cape May Zoo is also a short drive away, which is home to more than 200 different species of animals in a quaint park setting, and is visited by more than 3 quarters of a million people annually. The Zoo features a playground, nature trails, and a pond for fishing.
A new attraction, only about 2 years old, is the movies on the beach. Right in the middle of the second and third piers they set up a large screen on the beach, only at nights. This is a very unusual experience because it's like an old- fashioned drive in movie but only one the sand, and no cars. They have the latest movies showing every night at 8 PM, and the tickets aren't that expensive either.
