If you have ever visited Wildwood on a Vacation, you must visit the museum. Everything past & present is available for you to check out. If just curious about your favorite hotel, motel or amusement ride, they will provide you with the history. It is free to look around but a donation would be appreciated. Just a fun place to... More

Stopped by the Museum 2 summer's ago and was in tears within the first 10 minutes of being there. As a kid of the 80's, the MAJORITY of my Wildwood memories are of my sister and I as kids on Hunt's Pier!! To be able to sit down, look through old photo albums of Hunt's Pier, brought back so many... More

The curator was friendly, knowledgeable and funny! The binders in the reading room are amazing--I could've spent all day just looking at the Hunt's Pier Binder. If you want to dig just a little deeper into the history of this magical place, you've got to hit the George F. Boyer Museum.

I can spend HOURS in this place looking at what WW used to be and what it is now. Staff is very nice. Unique artifacts, lots of pictures and stories. I try to visit every time I come down.

Any resident of The Wildwoods should visit this museum whenever they can. There is SO much history of the area in this small building plus it's free (but you can make a donation).

If you have any interest in history, spend a few hours here. If you're a fan of the Wildwoods, you'll have a hard time pulling yourself away from it. Many museums are small rooms with a few items, but the Boyer is many rooms filled with photos and other assorted memorabilia, not to mention what seems like a few hundred... More

A rainy day gets crowded but it is a must on cloudy day! It gave us a wonderful experience. The staff is really knowledgeable.

It was a walk down memory lane for me, I was able to find pictures of family members and their businesses. I even found a picture of myself from when I was on the Queen's float from the Baby Parade in 1969. Found pics of my Dad when he played football in Wildwood...the history is amazing, I want to go...

A person can spend hours in this place. Photos from every generation and a staff that love their job. If you have had enough sun go inside and step back in time.
