GARDNER’S BASIN and the ATLANTIC CITY AQUARIUM

The Atlantic City Aquarium, an ocean life education center with eight huge tanks, is home to more than a hundred varieties of fish and marine animals along with interactive exhibits focusing on the maritime environment. It’s a great place to see live jellyfish, poisonous and venomous species and an octopus up close and personal – behind the safety of a glass wall, of course.

THE FLANDERS 13
Enjoy the grandeur of the 1930s and ‘40s mixed with the modern
touches most guests want at the Flanders Hotel on Ocean City’s Boardwalk, just steps away from the beautiful beach, shops, restaurants and amusements – and just a short drive to the excitement of Atlantic City. And, in case you’re wondering, the hotel is named after Flanders Field in Bel- gium, a site made famous by the John McCrae poem that commemorates the poppies that grow over the rows of grave- stones of soldiers who died in World War I. The hotel with its Spanish Mission Revival style has graced the city’s skyline since it was built in the 1920s. 866-OCHOTEL.
