Does the WAP have any other means of security like a mac address filter?
Is the wifi icon showing a connection?  You may need to open the web browser and login or click a button on a landing page.  Other than that, if it's a public wifi, make sure the password is correct.  Public wifi hotspots generally don't have MAC filtering or any other form of authentication.  Also, check to see if the iPad can connect to a different network (like at home or a coffee shop somewhere you've connected before).  If it can connect to a different network with no issues, you know it's a network specific problem.  I hope this is helpful - good luck!
