Playground Pier
What people are saying
This was a fun place to visit with our family. We visited shops and enjoyed the games and beach, though some maintenance could be done on the planks on the boardwalk. The view and experience is likely to be a repeat vacation for us again. The food everywhere we ate was tops!
Last time I was here was 15 years ago and it was a great time. Loved the fountain show at the end of the pier. It's now just an abandoned mall. Nothing really in it. It was very sad. Don't know if COVID hit it hard or what but there's nothing to do in there now.
Nice looking mall, but barely anything to do. There are only about 3 or 4 stores open in the entire mall and the restaurants were closed too. I'm not sure if more things will open up during the summer but I was here during April 2023 and it was pretty dead. Definitely do not go out of your way to come here. It's nice to stop by if you're passing though. I still gave it a very high rating because there was good music playing, the views are nice, and I managed to get myself a ring from one of the stores that was actually opened. I've wanted a cheap, silver ring for a couple of years now but never actually got around to purchasing one so I'm glad the opportunity presented itself here. The store owner was nice. Basically everything in the store was $10, but because we purchased a lot of things, he told us that we can pick out 4 rings for $10 so I ended up getting my ring for only $2.50. My sister picked out the other 3 for herself. I hope more places open up here and it becomes busy again because it's honestly a really nice building and has a nice ambience.
This place has potential but it really doesn't matter when practically all the stores aren't in business. It was nice to have the place all to ourselves. (except the security guard that practically followed us around, and probably wondering why we were there in the first place.) I say if you're filming a movie and need an empty set location that looks beautiful, this is your place. Shopping? Not so much. I DID see a poster of an old prop comic of The Legendary WID, who I use to work with in my early days of burlesque. So my trip was unexpectedly fulfilled with a personal surprise.
Unfortunately a deserted well decorated area BUT a very nice view from the 2nd floor!
