Morris County families looking for a summer getaway have a chance to win one for free. The 2026 Wildwoods Ultimate Family Vacation Contest is open now, and the spring drawing closes on May 25, 2026 at noon EST. Enter the contest here before the deadline.
Two winners will be selected this year, one in the spring and one in the fall. Each prize package is a five-day, four-night vacation for a family of four, and the total package is worth nearly $5,000. According to the Greater Wildwoods Tourism Improvement and Development Authority, this year’s giveaway is nearly double the size of previous years.
The prize includes a four-night mid-week stay at the Madison Resort in Wildwood Crest, four general admission tickets to Barefoot Country Music Fest, a 90-minute Back Bay boat tour aboard Sandbar Joe’s Wildwoods Cruises, and combo ride and waterpark passes for four to Morey’s Piers and Beachfront Waterpark.
Winners also get $50 gift cards to MudHen Brewing Company, Poppi’s Brick Oven Pizza, and Dogtooth Bar and Grill, a $50 gift to Lime Ricky World Arcade and Ice Cream Bar, a bike or surrey rental for four from Surf Bike Rental or Ocean Cycles, Dragon’s Lair Blacklight Mini Golf admission, a $125 shopping certificate to Wildwood Customs, Sightseer Tram Car passes, and free Wildwoods Convention Center parking for the duration of the stay.
Entry is free and takes about a minute. Anyone age 25 or older can enter once at WildwoodsNJ.com/win-a-family-vacation. Multiple entries will disqualify the submission, and a single entry counts for both the spring and fall drawings.
The fall drawing closes October 26, 2026.
