Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall
Boardwalk Hall
A National Historic Landmark concert hall completed in 1929. It houses the world's largest organ and was once the venue for the Miss America pageant.
When Boardwalk Hall was built, it was one of the largest column-free indoor spaces in the world. Its arched hall can hold more than ten thousand people. For many years it hosted the Miss America pageant, and today it is used for concerts, sporting events and trade shows. The Midmer-Losh organ, with more than 33,000 pipes, is considered the largest organ in the world. After restoration, it holds free lunchtime recitals and tours on a regular basis (check the official website for times). When there are no events, you can only admire the Art Deco-style façade from outside.
