Reply to comment by TimSPC in Follow-up: Does the Atlantic City boardwalk have enough to entertain a group of 14 year olds for 2-3 hours? Just wanting some beach shops, an arcade, ferris wheel, go-karts, etc. Closer and cheaper than Wildwood, not sure if there's a noticeable difference for that brief of a visit by garbageeater
Yeah they're not leaving these kids all day, it's a couple hours. Steel Pier is fine for that. There's an entire college dorm on the AC boardwalk now- while the reputation isn't entirely unearned it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.

Depends on the kids and how street smart they are. Are you from a city? Do they have a lot of independence typically? There's certainly enough to do on the boardwalk to kill 2-3 hours but if they're not used to seeing/handling panhandlers or being heads up while wandering around it's probably not the best choice.

Tweens are like 8-12, 14 year olds are at least in high school. Steel pier probably a decent idea for them.

I see kids that age at Steel Pier all the time fwiw. I wouldn't let them wander off the pier but for a couple hours it should be fine. Up the boardwalk is a different story.
