Atlantic City Sightseeing

Boardwalk ToursAtlantic City's highlight is its Boardwalk, which can be explored on foot or by bicycle. Another way of seeing the Boardwalk is in the legendary rolling chair, which resembles a huge wicker chair on wheels. Pushed by an attendant, the chairs seat up to three people.

The chairs generally operate daily 8 a.m.-1 a.m. (also Fri.-Sat. 1-4 a.m.), weather permitting. Fares for up to two people start at $5 for 5 blocks and fewer; otherwise may vary.
