What time of year did you go? Was there alot of neat things to see & do? How were the beaches? We are in our forties have two children 23 & 16. Is this not a place you think they would like to go?
A short ride to The Wildwoods is a great teen age "Hang Out" with a Boardwalk full of Amusement Rides and Water Slide adventures, & a free beach. Cape May is a Victorian paradise. Not much fun for kids but there is the Cape May Zoo that is well stocked.
Forgot to mention. A.C. has a great beach and limited Amusement area on the Boardwalk. We stay at the Borgota. The gaming area is full of old fogies, like us. but there are families all over the rest of the hotel.
