About 2 1/2 – 3 hours.But if he is under 21 Atlantic City is not that exciting. There is not much to do there. At all. xena locks . The city is pretty dirty other than the casinos. And the beach there is nothing great. Go down further to Wildwood and Wildwood Crest for better beaches. It may not be worth it too much to go there.

Hi I live in NJ – I would give yourself 2.5 hours. I’m sure the trip could be done in less time, but the NJ Parkway (you’re most direct route to A.C.) tends to have heavy traffic, particularly this time of year. Have a great trip!
Best bet is to take a train from newark, NJ to AC, then take another train from AC to NY then a train from NY to Boston.
NYC to AC is about 3.5 hours w/o much traffic.
NYC to Boston is about 5 hours w/o much traffic.
Add traffic and these times can EASILY double.
There really is not much in AC but bad casinos and bad strip clubs. Its not like Vegas at all.
Boston is a good city.
If you want to go to AC first, I would fly into Newark this way you can get right on the NJ turnpike and head down to AC and save some time. If you go to Laguardia you have to fight NYC traffic. Fly into NJ and it will be much easier because you can avoid NYC traffic and get a much better view of NYC.
2-3 hours.
Atlantic city – nothing other than casinos. Dont stay there too long else you might have to cut short your remaining trip for financial reasons. I lost a 1000 bucks last time when I went there.
2.5-3hours max is doable > Traffic is not on issue on Saturday . Early evening traffic returning to NYC on Sunday may be an issue so leave AC early enough to beat it..Don’t use or trust mapquests directions , trust mine bc they are much better.
To AC
Grand Central Parkway north one exit
Brooklyn Queens Expressway -278- towards the Verazanno Bridge -great views of manhatttan but be careful bc there are a couple of left handed exits on the BQE
over the VZ bridge pay $ 9.00 cash toll
across Staten Island
Use 440 SOUTH!!!! to Outerbridge Crossing
over Outerbridge and find the Garden State Parkway shortly thereafter
GCP to AC
TO Boston 6+ hours
GCP north until it ends at the NY State Thruway I-287/87
Take the Thruway South towards NYC crossing the Hudson on the Tappan Zee Bridge
Once you pay the toll you will want to follow 287 to White Plains
I-684 N
I-84 E thru Danbury , Waterbury & Hartford and finally finding the Mass Pike into Boston
Personally on the way back from Boston I would stop in Newport RI and do ten mile mile , the waterfront area and go swimming -great beaches .Newport is just a great town to explore
If you route it thru Fall River Mass ,The USS Massachusetts -a WW2 battleship is docked there and open for visiting.
And then it’s back to LGA
I-95 S to NYC find the Hutchinson River Parkway as soon as you cross into the Bronx on 95
Hutch south over the Whitestone Br following signs for Shea Stadium /LGA
Exit right
Keep the LGA runways in your right eye
and the Shea in your left eye and then continue bearing to your right to LGA
You may want to check the NY Mets schedule so that your trip over the Whitestone Br doesn’t conflict w/ their fan traffic. If you cross the bridge 90 minutes or more before game time you should be fine
about 3 hrs.
