Sightseer Tram Cars
Boardwalk tram
About
The Sightseer is the yellow-and-blue tram that rolls up and down the Wildwood Boardwalk, with its familiar call of "Watch the tram car, please!" It covers about two miles, from Cresse Avenue at the Wildwood and Wildwood Crest line to 16th Avenue in North Wildwood. You can ride one way for about 30 minutes, or buy a daytime wristband and hop on and off as often as you like.
The tram office is at the Cresse Avenue end of the Boardwalk. Discounted tickets are sold in season at kiosks and stores along the way and at the three Morey's piers.
History
The trams have run on the Boardwalk since June 11, 1949. The cars were built for the 1939 New York World's Fair before a Wildwood businessman brought them to the shore. They are run by the Wildwoods Boardwalk Special Improvement District, a nonprofit of Boardwalk businesses.
When to go
The tram runs in season only. The tourism site says service starts on weekends in late spring and goes daily around mid-June. In 2026 it ran daily from noon until Morey's Piers closed, through Labor Day, then on a reduced Friday-to-Sunday schedule for a few weeks in September.
Good to know
The daytime wristband allows unlimited rides until 5 p.m. Tickets and wristbands are also sold at the kiosk at 16th Avenue and at the ticket office at Cresse Avenue.
