What family events are scheduled for June 2012? I'll be there with two toddlers in the second week of June, 6 - 9.
The OC Airshow is on the 9th.
Your toddlers will love Northside Park! They have a great park, playground and a pier. You should also consider a trip to the Salisbury Zoo. It is free, easy to walk, and fun. It is 40 minutes from Ocean City.

Any ideas where would be the best place to rent a speed boat for tubing with our teenage boys? Would need to rent the tube also. Thanks!
Last summer I rented a pontoon boat from Advanced Marine on 67th Street. It
was a great boat and an excellent place to rent from. We had 13 people on the boat and pulled a rented tube too with no issue. They may also have speed boats. They had a great morning special that
made it the best deal I could find. They also have a great central OC location.
They rent several different types and sizes of boats. We rented
their largest pontoon boat and we had 13 people on it. We all fit fine and the
boat still had plenty of power to pull a tube behind it. They rent
tubes, and will sell you the tow rope for a fair price. I highly
recommend them. Their phone number is (866) 577-3449.
No matter where you go I recommend calling ahead to reserve a boat.
Have a great time!

Our construction company is renting a large van and sending down 15 guys for a team building day in Ocean City. They are excited to do Go Karts and enjoy the restaurants. Any suggestions for the best way to find (legal)fun for a group of guys just on a daytrip? :)
Thanks!
It all depends on what the guys are in too.
You could go fishing on a charter boat for a day or half day.
Golf at some great golf course in OC. Ride go-carts or the zip line at Jolly Rodgers.
Spend the day at the beach, soak in some rays and just relax. Go to Seacrets, have lunch and check out the great scenery it has to offer.Stroll the boardwalk, play games, shop, hit the arcades or bar hop. There is plenty to do in OC but you'll need to decide what to do. Have Fun.

Where are some wave runner locations, hours and prices?. Also, what are the age requirements?
YOu have to be 18 pretty much to ride alone on a wave runner at the majority of rental places in town. Expect to pay a deposit as well. All Wave runner and jet ski rentals are guided trips now.
