Gal pal groups can experience a psychedelic all-senses dinner and award-winning spirits
Atlantic City getaways cater to everyone from gal pal groups to family reunions. Situated along the Jersey Shore, this magical place evokes images of crashing waves and towering casinos glittering in the sun. But the history of the seaside gaming capital of the East Coast is more than that. Atlantic City is home to the first boardwalk which opened in 1870 and is the birthplace of Salt Water Taffy in 1880. In 1935, the beloved board game Monopoly was created based on Atlantic City streets and its coveted boardwalk. It wasn’t until 1978 that the very first casino was erected, cementing the city’s gambling legacy. Since then, AC has maintained its thrilling appeal, especially to girlfriend groups looking for unconventional activities along the Jersey Shore.
Atlantic City getaways can consist of many exciting activities, an obvious one being gambling. But with so much going on in Monopoly City, here are a few must-experience amusements to add to your itinerary.
Surrounded by famed casinos and bustling avocations, the Island Waterpark at Showboat Hotel is a welcome reprieve with unparalleled relaxing amenities.
Island Waterpark at Showboat Hotel
A trip to Atlantic City must include a trip to the Island Waterpark at Showboat Hotel located in the heart of it all. Surrounded by famed casinos and bustling avocations, the Island Waterpark is a welcome reprieve with unparalleled relaxing amenities. The Bliss Pool lives up to its name as an adults-only pool facing the untamed Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy two dry bars and DJ entertainment or grab a seat on a submerged bar stool at the Swim-Up Bar for stunning views.
For daring groups on Atlantic City getaways, the waterpark features an indoor zero-gravity coaster and a zipline with incredible panoramic views of the park and ocean. The Tree House, a 30-foot-tall indoor adult tree hangout, offers phenomenal views and tropical vibes. Groups can rent the canopy retreat for private parties and events for a memorable time.
The resort hotel offers 477 guest rooms, 36 Balcony suites (the only balconies on the Atlantic City Boardwalk), two Super suites and 16 Junior suites for diverse options. Also on-site are 11 food and beverage venues to satisfy everyone. From VIP cabanas and cocktail services to an outdoor boardwalk with a Seasonal Festival Market and amphitheater, the options are endless.
Little Water Distillery
Groups looking to tickle the senses with libations should stop at Little Water Distillery. Their award-winning craft spirits will impress your troop with sophisticated and unparalleled flavors. Take a tour of the historic enterprise to ascertain prohibition-era history and partake in tastings. Your gal pal group doesn’t need a reservation as long as you arrive during operating hours. A jaunt to the distillery will fit into any Atlantic City itinerary, so plan on reserving a table and sharing a few laughs over craft cocktails. On your way out of town, stop into a liquor store in the tri-state area for take-home bottles of your favorites.
Spiegelworld’s THE HOOK Show
An off-beat live performance experience awaits galpal groups at Spiegelworld’s THE HOOK. This is another must-do activity on Atlantic City getaways. The epic entertainment venue is the magnificently restored former 1929 iconic Warner Theatre, or “Wonder Theatre of the World.” Located in Caesar’s Atlantic City Hotel & Casino, the magic happens 365 days a year with dinner and live entertainment. Before the show, dine at Superfrico serving up Italian-American Psychedelic cuisine in a one-of-a-kind all-senses atmosphere. The menu features Old World Italian classics with a modern twist. Accordingly, their cocktails reflect the flavors just the same in drinks like Good Cop, Limon Drop and Midnight Rambler.
Afterward, get ready for a one-of-a-kind performance from leading British comedy director Cal McCrystal. The HOOK Show is a riot, filled with raunchy and seductive adults-only content. A cast of international stars wow audiences night after night and never disappoint guests. Certainly, this is a memorable way to cap off Atlantic City getaways with groups.
