1 / 2Fantasy Island Amusement Park
📍 Beach Haven, NY
Beach Haven amusement park on Long Beach Island with 18 rides across kiddie, family, and thrill categories, a full arcade with fair crane machines, and 13 midway games. Free park entry with individual ride tickets or wristbands.
I’m usually pretty critical of Arcades with their crane machines and their weak grippers! It’s like trying to lift a cinder block with a feather! Usually $50 to win a $3 stuffed duck! However, my hat is off to the owners of Fantasy Island and their Arcade! Not only was our 13 year old grandson who’s here visiting for the summer having a blast winning so many stuffed toys for his much younger cousin, so we’re so many other lucky kids. ! The kids truly have an excellent shot at grabbing their prized critter by the …….horns, while not exhausting their “allowance” in one night!! The whole Arcade and Amusement Park is spotlessly clean with so many pleasant young people working there. I watched as the young workers were constantly walking around wiping all the Arcade games down. Definitely an enjoyable night out to treat the kids or grandkids to. Business is business but they definitely seem to care as much about the families visiting as they do their bottom line. I was waiting for them to throw him out!!😂😂😂
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids aged 4 through early teens who want a classic boardwalk amusement experience with an honest arcade. The crane machines alone set this apart — reviewers with decades of experience single out the fair calibration as exceptional. Multi-generational families appreciate the immaculate cleanliness.

“My family loves visiting Fantasy Island when we visit our family in New Jersey! My boys especially love the arcade which is stocked with their favorite games and new ones popping up every year. The staff is always so helpful, friendly and the prize counter employees are endlessly patient. I highly recommend!”
