At the Atlantic City Aquarium, guests can become personally acquainted with marine life. The aquarium features a touch tank filled with baby stingrays, a 1000-gallon tank filled with live corals and a daily live feeding of some of the aquarium's biggest inhabitants. At the Absecon Lighthouse, visitors with a strong constitution can trek up the lighthouse's 228 steps to experience a complete panoramic view of the Atlantic City skyline. The lighthouse also features a replica of the original lighthouse keeper's quarters, a small museum and a first-order Fresnel lens.

Families will enjoy a visit to Lucy the Elephant. This quirky structure, made of tin and wood, is constructed in the shape of an enormous, 6-story-tall elephant. Visitors can walk through the structure and even climb to the top Lucy's howdah for a view of the city. At the Pinelands, a national reserve covering more than a million acres of land, visitors can trek through gentle hills, ford streams and explore the dense pine forests that give the park its name. The park also offers regular activities, special hikes and festivals.
