Marine park rents them out if you live in Brooklyn....
Was no line when we went, but we went earlier in the day about 11 o'clock. When we left, it started to get a bit more crowded

Ferry boat ride today (and an arcade place while we waited for the ferry to go back)

Yesterday was the boardwalk and arcades

Day before was rides and arcades
(My kids love arcades)

Tomorrow we’re staying home.
Maybe a local park.

We rented a pool tonight thru swimply. Thanks to the great idea from this thread..

Yesterday my husband did baking with the kids- let them each make any cake or cookie they wanted. At night we went bowling.

Tomorrow we will prob sleep late a bit and then shop and get ready for yt.

Did you take a car or train to the dock and is there parking there?
What's the name of the arcade place?

We drove to cape may ferry.
We paid to park the car in the lot under the boat.
The cape may ferry is a large boat with places to sit sit indoors and outdoors. There is a shop selling snacks, drinks and souvenirs.
The kids had fun going upstairs, downstairs and all around the ship.
The weather was beautiful so it was a stunning ride.
The cape may ferry ride is 1.5 hours. It goes to Delaware.
In Delaware we drop to a place 20 minutes away from where the ship docked called- shell we bounce. It was a trampoline place on one side and an arcade place on the other side.
Then we drove back to the ferry for the ride back.

If you are in New York then this trip is far for you. We are in New Jersey.
In New York you can go to the Staten Island ferry to manhattan. We did that once. In Manhattan we took the kids to a park right near the ferry. We left our car in a lot in Staten Island.
Both ferry rides are nice especially in good weather.

Do you have the link of the pool you rented?

The one we rented just closed up now for the winter.
We did use those two recently though that I can recommend

https://swimply.com/pooldetail.....35978 - this one was amazing - we went in the beginning of this summer. They had everything and I mean everything you could think of. Goggles, lifejackets, waterguns, tubes and endless amount more..... kids keep begging to go back.

If that location doesn't work, we did this one as well and was also good even if it cant compete with the one above -
https://swimply.com/pooldetail.....45734

Was nice and clean. Floaties for the kids and a small basketball court there as well as places to sit. We had a good time

Both pools are heated without extra cost so can be used even if not so hot outside which is a big plus now that it's getting colder....

Both will cost closer to $20 then $10 in the end after the $50 off code ( https://swimply.com/referral?r.....11719) .... there are cheaper ones you can try depending on where you live.... (I just posted those bec we tried them)
