Just set up a last minute vacation with my sister and her kids. We leave for OceanCity, Md tomorrow. Any suggestions for kud friendly restaurants? Fun things to do with 3 and 6 year olds?
Thanks!

I grew up going to Ocean City each year-

Right now, I don't like the way the pizza at the Dough Roller (pizza place on the boardwalk near the end) tastes but I see tons of families loving their time there. I also loved their pizza as a child.

I always liked watching the long string of kites set up in front of the Kite Loft, 5th and Boardwalk.

Right down from that is a big playground with a wooden boat and stuff like that. I see young children climbing all over those.

There are several arcades along the boardwalk... give 'em a few quarters and let them go crzy trying to earn tickets to exchange for junky prizes. I always loved doing that.

There's a display at the very very end of the boardwalk with a giant stuffed marlin there. Pretty cool to see.

You really can't go wrong doing anything with the kids there. The beach alone holds a lot of fun... just buy a couple of buckets and a shovel, and you;ve got hours of fun. Just be sure to rent a beach umbrella. The sun can get pretty nasty.

Rides on the Boardwalk at Trimper's. I am 38 yrs old and some of these rides are the ones I used to go on as a kid.

We love to eat at Dumser's , they have great Maryland fried chicken! Kids love it and they have great ice cream!

You have to play mini golf, of course! Lots of great courses.

I second Fish Talesn also eat outside at Mackry's.

My kids are older now but we have done the OC Rocket and the boat trip to find sand crabs.

I like the beaches above 40th.

Sunsation is fun cheesy store kids can "shop" in.

Mini golf
Boardwalk (get Thrasher's fries)
Candy Kitchen
Ritas
Bowling
Fractured Prune donuts
Indoor mini golf and Movies (if it rains)

Assateague (spelling?) Has horses so if you go make sure your picnic is in a cooler.

Trimpers and Jolly Rogers has rides for little kids

Grab a newpaper or magazine from the 7-11 and they list stuff to do.
