Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier

This was a very fun experience! It’s pretty pricey for adults but great for kids with the unlimited ride bracelet. The rides are super fun and safe. They have a good variety of rides for kids and adults. The Ferris wheel has incredible views. The staff were nice and friendly.

The amusement park situated along the Santa Monica waterfront is truly iconic and embodies the essence of the city itself. Visiting occasionally with my son, indulging in the various rides, and enjoying the whimsical arcade games, evokes a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of scenes from classic films. While the rides may not be the cheapest or the premier in California, the expense is justified by the sheer joy and positive atmosphere it offers for a delightful afternoon outing.

Really fun place to spend with the family, many food/snack options, and many little stores for new trinkets. It also has a very good view of the beach. Sunset/Sunrise is very beautiful.

Nice place to walk. Can get windy and chilly in the evening. Nice view of ocean and sunset. Lots of places to eat and if you enjoy the beach this is a special place.

When in LA, don't forget to visit Santa Monica pier. Be careful of the pier hustlers they'll get you involved in their show and then demand money. Just say 'No Thanks'. TRUST ME your wallet will thank you.
