I have driven past this place at least 150 times over my lifetime in Southern California. So this time we decided to stop and take in all that the place had to offer. There are enough rides for ages 3 - 100 to enjoy. The area is small but you can enjoy the beach, views, attractions and food all in... More

Went to Santa Monica because it was a stopping point for other tours in the area. Stopped by Santa Monica Pier and Pacific Park because it was convenient. The ferris wheel lights make it very pretty at night, but the amusement park only has about 10 rides - and they are all either $4 or $5 per ride. Not worth... More

Could be a lot cleaner. Yes it's right on the water by Santa Monica pier but does that mean that maintenance is of no import. I don't think so. The trash cans were overflowing when we were there. YUCK.

The Pacific Park has several amusement options from games of skill to a roller coaster to a giant Feris-wheel. There are cafes and ice-cream outlets also. gives one a "Fair-Ground" feel.

Fun place overlooking the sea. Love watching the people play chess and outdoor exercise classes. One drawback - many panhandlers. It is a comfortable evening home for many homeless.

This amusement park was great for my son. He loved the rides and the price of the wrist band was well worth it. The people who operated the rides seemed friendly and cheerfull. My son is 7 and he was able to enjoy all the rides without a problem. Great place to kill a few hours.
