Palace Amusements
The memory
Established in 1888, Palace Amusements was a cornerstone of Asbury Park's vibrant boardwalk scene. From its iconic carousel to the funhouse and the grinning face of "Tillie," the Palace offered a century of joy and memories. Though it closed in 1988 and was demolished in 2004, its spirit lives on in the hearts of those who experienced its magic.
