By car, take the Garden State Parkway south to Exit 4, then follow the signs to Wildwood. From New York, use the New Jersey Turnpike to Exit 11, then take the Parkway south. From Philadelphia, take the Atlantic City Expressway to the Parkway.
The nearest major airports are Philadelphia (PHL), about a hundred minutes' drive, and Newark (EWR), about two and a half hours. Atlantic City Airport is closer but serves limited routes. There is no direct public transit to Wildwood — a car or pre-arranged car service is the most practical option.
