Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum provides fun for the entire family by offering visitors a great opportunity to learn about aviation history through a “hands on” approach. Exhibits, displays and aircraft are specially designed and located to encourage a truly interactive experience. Bring the kids and the camera and travel back in time to a 92,000 square foot sampling of the 1940’s. NASW Aviation Museum is located at the Cape May (New Jersey) Airport inside historic Hangar #1. The hangar and the museum’s centerpiece, a TBM Avenger aircraft, are listed on the National and State register of historic places. The all wood, double wide hangar was one of six dive-bombing training facilities in the United States from mid-1943 to January, 1945. The defining architectural feature of the hangar is the open wood truss construction used to expedite building time as well as conserve steel during the war years. Guests are in awe of the extensive span of the roof system and giant overhead sliding track doors. In an ongoing effort, great care has been given to restore the hangar to its original 1942 condition.Today, the museum boasts a collection of 26 aircraft spanning the period from early WW II, with the Boeing Stearman, to the jet powered F-14 Tomcat used in Iraq. Visitors can actually sit in and touch many of the aircraft including a Mig-15 and Huey helicopter! In addition to the aircraft, the museum has a wide range of exhibits to entertain and educate visitors of all ages. Children love to climb into the Bader Field Air Traffic Control Tower and talk to other visitors on the museum floor. Many visitors enjoy learning about the Tuskegee Airmen, music of the 1940’s or simply taking pictures everywhere possible.

Every visitor to the Shore should climb the 199 steps to the top of the Cape May lighthouse. The viewing deck affords sightseers an unrivaled perspective on the Atlantic and Delaware Bay. The surrounding state park is great for picnics and enjoying the beach.

Complete with all the lights, sounds and rides you can ask for, Morey's piers is a great place to spend an afternoon. With three large rollercoasters, waterslides and amusement games, Morey's Jersey Shore boardwalk tradition holds the place together and will keep you coming back.

A family friendly boardwalk in a peaceful setting, the Ocean City Boardwalk is an inviting stretch of shops, restuarants and amusements right along the shore. Ocean City itself is a dry town, so unlike other boardwalks, this one has no alcohol, but plenty of kid-friendly attractions.
