There is also a movie theater on 113th St:  http://www.moviefone.com/showtimes/ocean-city-md/21842/theaters

For a sweet treat head to Dumser's for an ice cream sundae and don't forget to pack along some board games to play late at night. :)  Have a great trip!

Here are some ideas from a post from my fellow Insider Darlene.  These are all open for business this weekend:

 play mini golf at two indoor locations on 68th and 136th St.
rent bicycles and ride on the boards. Try Dandy Don's on 2nd St.
go ice skating indoors at the Carousel Hotel
play laser tag at Planet Maze
drive go karts at Baja Amusements in West Ocean City
visit the Life Saving Station Museum on the boardwalk
take the historic Walking Tour of Ocean City. You'll find the brochures in your hotel lobby or at the visitor's center at the Convention Center
drive to Assateague and see the wild ponies there and visit the nature center on the way in
visit the commercial fishing district in West Ocean City
go bowling or see a movie
buy a kite or two and fly them on the beach

During your stay, you will most likely see many of the shops open only Thur - Sun with limited operating hours.  But a great time to visit, don't forget to have a nice bike ride/walk on the boards, take in all the beauty of the ocean and beach, play a round or two of golf/mini-golf, and relax and enjoy Spring in OC!

Thank you,

We are considering an early April visit to Ocean City and wondered if the beaches are open at that time and what kind of family activities/amusements are there? Thank you.

If you visit the first weekend of April, there is a great Easter Craft/Gift Show at the Convention Center.  You can find all the details at http://www.oceanpromotions.info/.

As for beaches and other activities, there is always something to do in OC!  Spring is one of my favorite times to visit.  Great time to have a seashell hunt, ride bikes on the board, shop in all the great stores, play mini golf or go bowling, and relax!

Trust me - you will enjoy your visit to OC in April!  Don't forget to use the trip planner on www.ococean.com.  It's a great tool.

Thank you,

The other Insiders gave you an excellent list of suggestions and two more I would like to add:  If the weather turns ugly, head to the movies on 113th St. and be sure to get an ice cream sundae from Dumser's Dairyland.  Have a great trip!

My boyfriend and I are visiting OC. I've been plenty of times as a kid but he's never been. We are in our early 20's but not into drinking. What other fun things are there to do besides the beach and boardwalk?

You dance the night away at Seacrets, the Party Block, Fager's Island, or BJ's.

We are looking to visit just for the weekend (March 24 and 25th) however I was wondering if there are any boardwalk shops/restaurants open this time of the year?
Submitted by Carrie C, Winchester, on March 21, 2012

If the weather is nice, many of the boardwalk shops will be open (however shorter operating hours). 

If you are looking for a place to stay on the boards, highly recommend Holiday Inn Suites or Quality Inn Boardwalk.

Have a great weekend!

You should find most stores and restaurants open on the Boardwalk.  The beach is very nice that time of year and you can actually lay out and get sun most days.  Most restaurants will be open by then as well.
