Wildwood Live

About

Ed's Funcade has two locations on the boardwalk: 3700 Boardwalk at Lincoln Avenue in Wildwood, and 2216 Boardwalk at 23rd Avenue in North Wildwood. The two share one card system, so you can play at either and cash in your prizes at either. Each has its own mix of games and its own prize selection, which makes it worth a look at both.

You pay with a PLAYcard rather than cash. The arcade says a new or replacement card never costs anything, that reloading earns bonus play credit, and that the best deals are in the Ed's app, which can hold up to seven family cards and reload them from your phone. Every 30 minutes, at both locations, there is a free prize drawing, and the winner picks a bonus game: a cash grab machine that pays prize points, or a fortune wheel that pays play credit.

History

Ed's Funcade marked its 50th anniversary in 2026, according to its own website.
