Reviews of Historic Gardner's Basin (Tourist Attraction)

Patricia Lyne

.Generous portions & generous owners. Went out of their way to please us. Great experience there.

Dolly Collins

Beautiful little space of restaurants and sites. The Atlantic City Aquarium, located here, is very nice. Beautiful view of a bag full of fishing boats and yachts! Lovely place! Don't miss it!

Maureen habeck

Fun day out. We road the ferry boat under Brigantine bridge for about 51$ with AAA discount, 3 people. Cute restaurants and bars.

Chris Giambrone

as fishing spot it's great, I definitely would not call it a tourist attraction. Unless of course you want to see people blasting music while they smoke weed and wipe down their tires.

Lynda Desouza

Ot too touristy just a fun place to go for breakfast. Drinks. Or diner. Take a boat ride or visit the aquarium. Ample parking. Gift shops.

Jeanette Reed

Went on party boat Captain George or Dave. It's was very nice. He was very accommodating and nice to work with.

Historic Gardner's Basin is right on the water and it is beautiful. There are many restaurants and a few bars. You may also take tours such as fishing, whale and dolphin watching and parasailing. The Atlantic City Aquarium is also located here. Everything is accessible by either driving here or you may also pull right up to the dock in your boat.

Quinton B

Nice

henry kuyon

The place was very wonderful, my kids enjoy watching the fish and playing with the stingrays. We had a good time, it is a fun place for a family to go visit.

Joseph Gillen

This is a cool little cul-de-sac with a terrific breakfast & lunch spot and a great bar located right across the street. Here, you will find all five of the recommended food groups by the U.S. Dept of Health,.. Sugar Starch Grease Fat Alcohol Gilchrist's is terrific and the Back Bay bar is awesome.. I've spent hundreds $$$ there!

Stephanie Langston

Love this place great fishing n food..reminds me of Cape May!! It's Alantic City's secret. Great dinner n it's on the inlet...sceenery is wonderful ....also a marina. Nice view of casinos..

Francis DellaVecchia

What they've done here is short of amazing!! It's now a beautiful day trip in Atlantic City. You can go for a boat ride, shop the quaint shops and get some eats! The latter consists of restaurant and other vendor offerings. It's quaint, but not disappointing at all!! A far cry from what the area used to be for sure

melissa parave

Love it nice place

Elizabeth Roberts

We drove here to bring the kids, when we get here we go inside, and one of the staff members, literally pushed the whole group of us out, including 2 other groups of people, with absolutely no explanation! Now we have a bunch of very dissapointed kids!!!! Ridiculous!!!!

Robert Keen

Nice experience!

Fransa Gatlin

A friend and I was there to remind people about how awesome Gardner's Basin was when we used to have the free R&B and oldies concerts. It was filled with love for music and friendship. It was a place for families and friends to enjoy the vendors, setting up tents and chairs and barbecuing delicious foods while enjoying great entertainment. We're praying that they will bring the concerts back!

Barbara Bethea

So happy the concerts came back☺

Alan Garrone

Good directed boat ride!

Latisha Crowner

If you like this place it was so crowded

AJ Johnson

Always enjoy going to Gardeners Basin for dinner at the Back Bay Ale House. It's great catching the sun setting too. It's a shame that the little stores had to close; still unsure why they were forced to do so.

Quinton Queen

Great place to fish... Relax... And enjoy the scenery! It's a great view of brigantine and abscond bay.... I love being there enjoying the best place to be in AC....

Tiese Rollins

Nice quiet and peaceful I love going there and listening plus watch the water and boats

Nick G

One of the "best location" for sunsets

Ralph S Scott

A lot can be done here.

MixedMedia Jenn

Great little place to visit. There is a bar and a restaurant. The aquarium is a great place for kids as they have a lot of touch tanks. Lots of little learning experiences for the little ones a long the way. Great scenery to take pictures, too.

Jenna Roadside

Beautiful views of the bay and a relaxing atmosphere.

Barbara Baker

Nice place to walk around. They have a restaurant and boats for activities.

Jason Howell

It's really nice there

Kellie Greene

Gardner's basin is a hidden gem of AC. There is an aquarium, a couple of restaurants & some small vendor booths selling various items. In the near future, the AC boardwalk will completed all along the inlet connecting GB with the main boardwalk. It should be a great walk/bike ride (maybe tram service). In the meantime, the basin area is a fun way to spend a few relaxing hours (Gilchrists restaurant is great for breakfast - best blueberry pancakes in NJ), out of the hustle bustle of downtown AC.

Gillian Eyde

Nice little spot..a few restaurants, an Aquarium, and a great place to ride bikes on way to boardwalk!

Sonia Latimer

The shops, boat ride and the food is all that

simone hardy

Always a great place to go to get some sun, spirits and great food with family and friends. And the boat rides are Everything!
