Things To Do In The Atlantic City, NJ Area On A Rainy Day

It’s been a very hot stretch of summer weather.

Rain usually follows extreme hot patches like this … Which made us think about putting a nice list of things to do in the Atlantic City, New Jersey area on a rainy day.

We turned to our listeners, readers, family and friends on my Facebook Page to submit their rainy day activity ideas.

Our list will give you and yours some good ideas for the next time that Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate.

Joe Toland Suggests the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, saying that “You never have to leave your car.”

Here is a great photo (below) that Joe provided:

Christopher Michael Hammer submitted the “Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University with its rotating exhibits and shops plus an outpost of the African American Heritage Museum of South Jersey which is superb and a must see.”

Nancy Lynne Adler suggests, “Island waterpark at the Showboat. Took the grandkids and they were absolutely thrilled! We need AC establishments to focus on the family and how to occupy kids so they stay focused and motivated in a healthy mindset . It's a home run.”

Bart Blatstein has delivered a huge, new amenity, with the largest indoor water park in America, (see rendering below):

Here’s another great Bart Blatstein indoor activity, Lucky Snake’s Arcade at Blatstein’s Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City.
