Arcade
About
Gateway 26 is a big prize arcade at 2512 Boardwalk, at 26th Street in North Wildwood. The games range from claw machines (the arcade says it has more than 150) to driving simulators and shooters, coin pushers such as the Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka machines, and casino-style games like Pokerino and poker machines.
What you win goes toward merchandise rather than cash. The arcade says its prize counter carries more than 25,000 items, from small toys to electronics and collectibles, and that it will special-order an item you ask for.
When to go
Gateway 26 stays open year-round and posts its hours week by week on its website, so check the current week before you go. The Wildwoods tourism guide says the off-season is quieter, with free parking.
Good to know
VIP membership is free, with no minimum to sign up, and staff can move your points to a new card if you lose yours (you need to show ID). Packages bought online should be ordered at least 72 hours before your visit.
Price
No price list is published, so check the website or ask at the counter.
