Anything special going on april 11, 12, 13?
This time of year during the week, there is very little going on. Fagers will be having a live band on the 13th, Lima Bean Riot plays on stage at 10 p.m. Also on Friday, DJ Hook mixes at 9 p.m.
But there are so many things open. The outlets are open during renovation, take a drive to Assateague, play mini golf or laser tag, or just check out all the little shops on the boardwalk.

Are there places that you can rent bicycles from in Ocean City so I dont have to lug 3 bikes from NY? We'll be coming down Easter weekend and staying for the week following.
So many places. Try Dandy Don's Bike Rentals on 10 North Division St. and 12th Sts, Wobbly Wheels on 1st St. to name a couple.

Are there any boat rides, whale watching or dolphin watching excursions available? Also are there any dinner theaters or other kinds of night life available? Or even boat rides somewhere? We are planning a trip July 7th. Thank you!
Sure. First thing I suggest is to send for these visitor guides to help you see what all Ocean City has to offer:
www.ococean.com/visitor-guide
www.oceancity.org/vacation-guide
There are no whale or dolphin excursions specifically in OC, but if you take a ride on either the OC Rocket or the Sea Rocket you will almost always see dolphins. The drivers slow the boats or stop them so people can snap pics of the dolphins at play.
For dinner theater, try the OC Jamboree in West Ocean City. They have different shows during the week and holidays, so you might want to check their schedule ahead of time at www.ocjam.com
You can also try the Globe Theater in nearby Berlin (about 20 minutes away) It's lovely.
www.globetheater.com
Try dinner at the Angler Restaurant at 312 Talbot St. on the bay. They include an evening boat cruise with their dinners and it is very pleasant.
Enjoy your stay in OC!

we are going down to Ocean City MD the first week of September, and wondered if everything is still open on the boardwalk? also, can you still parasail and rent jet skis in September?
It's truly all weather permitting - this past fall/winter was exceptional, but not sure we'll get that lucky again.
You will see some businesses with reduced or limited operating hours after Labor Day, meaning they may only be open weekends or close earlier than during the summer or have reduced menus.
As for parasail and jet skis - weather permitting again. I suggest contacting your preferred location before your visit so you will know all the specifics (hours, prices, days, etc.) before you arrive and perhaps even schedule in advance.
Don't forget to check out Sunny Day Guide and the various websites for money saving coupons and specials.
Otherwise, great time to visit.

Is there alot to do during the easter week for children?
There is a great Easter Kids Fair at the Convention Center (visit http://www.oceanpromotions.info/ for all the information).
Plus Trimper's Indoor Rides will be open, as will the boardwalk arcades, mini-golf (indoor and/or outdoor depending upon weather), biking on the boards, kite flying, etc. Perhaps have a "seashell hunt" as a variation to an egg hunt.
You will have fun as will your children!

I am going to Ocean City tomorrow and leaving Sunday but I don't know what fun things I can do. (Mar.23- 25) There are four of us going, two teenagers and two seniors. What can we do ?
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

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,

I will be arriving April 28th til May 2nd. What will be open on the Boardwalk at that time?
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!
