What’s Open This Weekend In The Wildwoods July 3rd – 5th

As we head into the 4th of July weekend let’s do our recap of what will be open this weekend in the Wildwoods.

Please keep in mind that with covid-19 rising some of these things could change. 

Currently New Jersey is in Stage 2 of the covid-19 reopening plan with a new list of things opening on July 2nd.

Those include;

  • Museums
  • Aquariums
  • Libraries
  • Bowling Alleys
  • Indoor Batting Cages
  • Boardwalk Arcades
  • Outdoor Waterparks
  • Casinos
  • Playgrounds
  • Outdoor Amusement Parks

In addition to these the Governor has allowed boardwalk games and pools to reopen last month.

So does this mean for down here.

At this time our Boardwalk is allowed to be open. Waterparks, Rides, Games, Stores and Arcades can open with restrictions.

These restrictions include;

  • Arcades only allowing 25% capacity
  • Amusements only allowing 50% capacity
  • Restaurants only allowing outdoor dining or carry-out

Morey’s Piers will be open but only offer LIMITED rides. At time time only Mariners Pier (with limited rides), Raging Waters water park and the Runaway Tram will be open this weekend.

Morey’s Piers had to make a ton of changed to ensure everyone’s safety. One of those changes is a gate and reservation system.

With the rising of cases the Governor has postponed the opening of indoor dining.

Most restaurants on the boardwalk and off the boardwalk are open for business. Restaurants have already started their outdoor dining. If you want to watch a video on how that looks click the link below.

Wildwood Restaurants Prepare for Outdoor Dining

Many boardwalk businesses do not have an outdoor seating area which would mean that they are could be take-out only.

The beaches are open to sit and enjoy! Be sure to swim near a lifeguard.

Bars are open for drinks to-go. This is something very new. If you want the full article click HERE but the gist is that now you can get drinks from your favorite bar and take it home to drink it.

Mayor Pete Byron used his executive power to close Pacific Avenue to traffic to help businesses be able to use the Right-of-Way in front of their stores for dining tables. From Schellenger Ave to Spicer Ave the streets are closed creating a “Pacific Avenue Mall.” You can watch a video tour of this mall below.

As a reminder, It is STILL required to wear a mask when visiting ANY businesses even if it’s on the boardwalk.

Governor Murphy is also urging people to wear a mask or face covering while in more crowded areas or on the boardwalks.

Please again keep in mind that these rules and orders do change quickly. Tune back later for more info!
