Gillian, Mita families work together to enhance Wonderland experience

OCEAN CITY – The Gillian and Mita families announced last week that they are joining together to enhance Gillian’s Wonderland Pier’s guest experience. 

The two families with deep history in amusements and hospitality are partnering to create a unique experience and better serve guests of this premier destination.

“We are thrilled that the Mita family is joining us in continuing the great tradition of Gillian’s Wonderland Pier, an Ocean City landmark,” said Jay Gillian. “Last weekend our park saw record-breaking numbers and we are looking forward to welcoming even more guests back to Wonderland this summer. We know in partnering with the Mita family that the best is yet to come.”

“Living in Ocean City for more than 40 years, Gillian’s Wonderland Pier has been a favorite place for not only my wife and I, but also our children and now grandchildren,” Eustace Mita said. “We are looking forward to working alongside Jay and his family as both families are committed to providing a wholesome guest experience.”

The Gillian family has been on the Ocean City Boardwalk since 1929 providing families with lifelong memories and many more to come.
