About
Absecon Lighthouse is a 171-foot lighthouse in Atlantic City with a replica keeper's house museum at the base. The climb is 228 steps, so it suits confident walkers around 4 and up while a parent stays below with younger siblings on the grounds. Admission is modest and kids under 4 are free. Off season it is open Thursday through Monday; summer hours expand.
