Active Older Adult Activities at the Wildwood Y

No. These trips are open to all!

Yes! The prices and itineraries you see available on our website cover the entire trip, starting from Wildwood. Our prices include round-trip motor coach transportation, all lodging (including en-route hotels), admission to all attractions, and some of your meals. *Souvenirs, alcoholic beverages, extra activities you wish to participate in, and “on your own” meals are not included.

Overnight parking is available at the Wildwood YMCA. Please park toward the back of the lot under the lights for added visibility and security.

We use only top-quality motor coaches that are less than 4 years of age, with at least 54 seats, and that are video and restroom equipped.

We stop every 1 1/2 -2 1/2 hours to stretch our legs and take a restroom break. We try to stop at historical or recreational points of interest. If those are unavailable, we may also stop at rest stops.

We are the “Fun Bus!” We play group games, watch fun movies, tell jokes, we have “wonderful” prizes, and snacks and waters are included! We also make sure to have quiet times for those who enjoy reading, talking to each other, and maybe even enjoying a nap.

In order to keep our trips as affordable as possible, we usually book non-smoking rooms with either two double or queen-size beds in major franchise hotels (Holiday Inn & Express, Hampton Inn & Suites, etc.).

We have flyers with the daily itineraries listed on our website and hand-held copies available at our Welcome Center. Our more detailed daily itineraries with times will be sent out via email to participating trip-goers 2-5 weeks before our trip.

We typically stop at well-known and traveler-friendly restaurants such as Cracker Barrel, Ruby Tuesday's, Olive Garden, various steakhouses, and unique local favorites like Lambert's Café. We also visit mall areas and restaurant hubs that offer a variety of dining options, so everyone has the opportunity to find something they enjoy. 

While most of our participants are Active Older Adults (50+), our trips are open to all mature adults. You are welcome to invite a friend or bring a family member with you, as long as they are at least 18 years of age. Please note that each guest must register and pay for their own trip.

Our group is usually a mix of couples and singles traveling.

Packing recommendations vary depending on the specific trip. We will review suggested clothing and gear during our pre-trip informational meeting. If you are unable to attend, we will email all participants a summary of the meeting, including a detailed packing list.

Yes! We will have space under the bus for a walker or cane. Wheelchair-equipped buses are available, but we will need to know as soon as possible in order to book the wheelchair-equipped bus.

No. There is no smoking allowed on the bus. We also ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfumes or colognes in order to help all passengers remain comfortable.

Yes, assigned seating is in place. The first four seats are reserved for tour guides and supplies. We kindly ask that the front rows remain available for individuals with mobility challenges or those prone to motion sickness. Seat assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis via a sign-up sheet available at the informational meeting held two weeks prior to each trip.

Yes, absolutely. You are free to call a taxi and go on your own if that is something you would be interested in. All expenses would be your responsibility and please let the tour director know if you will be leaving the group.
