Bethany beach with kids- things to do

[Anonymous]

We are thinking of a family vacation at a rental home for a week in Bethany. Kids are ages 2-10. How big of a hassle is it to get to rehoboth from there? Are there activities to do with kids if we don't have a boat?

Our family has vacationed in Bethany for about 35 years and that is how we've always done it: stayed in Bethany, took an excursion to Rehobeth Fun Land for one evening for the kids to enjoy. It's not hard to do; there may be traffic down Route 1 but that's not that big of a deal.

There is mini-golf, ice cream, toy stores, a boardwalk, etc. all in Bethany. My kids are far from bored in Bethany. Rehoboth and OC are both about 30 minutes away.

Playground right in town. There's a nice shaded one in Ocean View just up 26.

Ditto. Only difference now is more traffic when driving back and forth.

We also drove one day to a water slide in Fenwick. If it rained, we drove to a movie in Ocean City. Other than that we stayed out of our car. Bethany is not a boat place. If you want water sports, I think you would go to the bay side near Rehoboth.
