What's inside
“Just wish they were set by the company to go a little bit faster, the ones at Eagleswood are a little faster than these but the clean emissions is far better than gasoline karts!”
“We also played a bunch of arcade games and was able to win a bunch of points and prizes.”
“There is even a hotel if you choose to stay overnight and the restaurant is top notch!”

From the reviews
The Mainland Adventure Park was absolutely an adventure! You have 2 hours to do the obstacle course and you can do any of the "trails" or the zip lines more than once! It was totally worth the admission, I went on everything at least twice and did the zip lines even more!
Fun place for families. The Go Kart waiting area can get really hot in the summer. Recommend bringing cool drinks as there are no vending machines and the water fountain does not work. 2023 update: If management is reading this, please turn on the fans in the go kart waiting area.
Had a great time on Go Carts and in arcade..3 adults and 1 12yr old...can't wait to go back and watch the child do the ropes course
My husband and I saw this attraction from route 72 while heading down to Barnegat lighthouse Back in June. We had no idea what it was but were determined to find out. So I looked it up online and planned an entire Weekend vacation around this park.
