Palace Playland

Established 1902

Perched directly on the sandy shores of Old Orchard Beach, Palace Playland stands as New England’s only remaining beachfront amusement park, offering a beautiful blend of nostalgic charm and modern excitement. Stepping onto the midway brings an immediate sensory rush, where the ocean breeze mingles with the scent of fried dough and the whir of classic rides. The park’s crown jewel is its giant Ferris wheel, which lifts riders high above the beach for spectacular, unobstructed views of the Atlantic coastline. It remains a quintessential seaside escape, where the transition from a day on the sand to an evening under the neon lights is practically seamless.
