Absecon Lighthouse

"This is the tallest lighthouse in NJ. I believe it's the 3rd tallest in the US. You do have to purchase a ticket to go up to the top. Nice little museum inside as well. You can get a stamp here as well if you collect a stamp in your booklet, too. Parking is right in front on the street. It's definitely worth going up. Very friendly staff. 228 steps to go up."

"If you have any interest in lighthouses and can climb stairs this is a great place to visit. They have lot of history and pictures of the light house and the First order Fresnel lens is still in the top. I forgot to take a picture of it though. The stairs are a copy of the original cast iron stairs and the rebuilt keeper house is the gift shop/ museum. I spent a few hours there but I read everything. If you just go to the top and come down you could do it in less then an hour."

"Absecon Lighthouse is the tallest Lighthouse in New Jersey, and 3rd tallest in the U.S. it's cool to see and if you come to Atlantic City, you should see it. $10 will allow you to climb to the top. The money goes to the museum up keep. There are volunteers that help here to keep it nice for people to visit. Check it out!"

"I visited an hour before closing time on Saturday. I got my ticket right away, had no issues. I did the light house climb at the top they had 2 older gentleman. They where very sweet and knowledgeable. They give you a cute little card at the end. If you are scared of heights it can be a little scary. I did this tour on my own and I was little shaken up coming back down. I had no issues going up. It was a beautiful view and a really nice breeze! I would definitely recommend!!"
