Atlantic City does not really go out of its way to promote itself as a family-friendly tourist destination nationally, but they do regionally and with good cause. Although the first things that most people think of when they think of Atlantic City is casino gambling and other adult-oriented entertainment, the city does in fact have a lot more to offer. Whether you are staying in a casino resort or not (which frequently offers the best deal for a hotel room), there are still plenty of things you can do with the whole family in and around Atlantic City that have nothing to do with gambling. Of course if you do want to spend some time in the casinos, the casino resorts all offer child care options as well.
