Steel Pier
A seaside amusement pier opened in 1898 with a Ferris wheel and roller coasters. It is the most classic landmark on the Boardwalk.
Steel Pier extends from the Boardwalk out over the Atlantic. It opened in 1898 and in the mid-20th century was famous for its diving horse shows and star performances. Today it is an amusement pier with dozens of rides, games and snack stalls. The most popular attraction is the observation Ferris wheel, about 70 meters tall, whose enclosed cabins offer views of the coastline and the casino skyline. It is especially beautiful at night. Entry is free, and rides are paid individually or by package. It is located across from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
