Joyland Amusement Center

TERRIBLE!!! I am LIVID. We bought towels and a bunch of games from them. On our way to the parking lot I went back to wash my hands in the bathroom to get the sand off of my hands for the long drive home. I went in, and the employee followed me in there. She then said this isn’t a shower, you need to leave the property. I started laughing assuming she was joking with me, because who says that?! Then she said if you don’t leave, we will call the cops and have them escort you out. She then followed us out to our car and continued to cuss us out. We then asked to see a manager and they all refused. We called the manager and he also refused to do anything. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Oh, and did I mention that it’s my BIRTHDAY?! Nobody deserves to be treated like that, especially when they didn’t do anything wrong.

Don’t waste your money at this place, especially not on the Sling Shot. The staff are not professional, specifically the guy with with the goatee. I don’t care if the weather is poor — it should not affect how you interact with customers. The ride operators need to be trained in customer service as well as safety protocol. The center itself is dirty and dingy. Do not recommend.

Really awesome place. My husband and I went down to the Boardwalk with our kids last Saturday night. We enjoyed a free concert and a fireworks display! Joyland provided all the entertainment for our children, while we enjoyed a Philly cheese steak and a footlong hotdog. The «Fat Tuesday’s» frozen daiquiri was great and the 32 ounce draft beer was around $ 5.00. Wasn’t fine dining but it was fun. We sat on the boardwalk overlooking the beach. Can’t beat it!!!

Walking into this place is like walking into the 1950s. Seriously, some of the machines in this place have been there at least that long. If you’re into hard-​core vintage stuff, you should definitely stop in; otherwise, keep on walking.
