Why you should go…

The Yard is a family recreation center on West Avenue in Ocean City run by the OCNJ Watersports group behind Totally Tubular Watersports. Its centerpiece is Sky Net, more than 3,000 square feet of elevated nets shaped like a ship where kids climb, bounce and slide between a crow's nest and soft obstacles, while parents watch from picnic tables and a La Colombe coffee bar. A simulator bay offers more than 50 golf courses plus soccer, baseball and other sports games for ages 5 and up. Open seven days a week in season; one adult plays free with each child admission.
