Pacific Park

Experience the Thrills at Pacific Park

Whether you're traveling with children or seeking an adrenaline rush, Pacific Park is the place to be. Located on the Santa Monica Pier, this ocean-facing amusement park is brimming with arcade games and thrill rides.

Classic Games and Heart-Pumping Rides

Much like annual carnivals and fairs across the country, Pacific Park offers a variety of classic games, including Whac-A-Mole, ring toss, and water races. However, the park's main attractions are its 12 exhilarating rides. Guests can:

• Soar above the pier on the world's only solar-powered Ferris wheel;
• Swing back-and-forth on a sea dragon-themed ship;
• Plummet 44 feet on a tower ride;
• Race around the pier on the West Coast's only oceanfront steel roller coaster.

When you're not enjoying the park's thrilling activities, consider purchasing a souvenir from the gift shop or grabbing a bite to eat at one of several quick-service food stalls.

Visitor Reviews and Entry Information

Many previous travelers have praised Pacific Park for its family-friendly atmosphere and superb setting. However, some mentioned that the park can feel crowded at times due to its small size and popularity. While you can pay for rides individually, several reviewers recommended purchasing the unlimited rides wristband to enjoy multiple rides more than once.

Cost and Pricing

• Rides typically cost $5 to $12 each.
• Unlimited ride wristbands cost $20 for children younger than 8 and $40 for those aged 8 and older.
• Arcade games cost $3 to $7 each and are not covered by the unlimited ride wristbands.

Admission to the park itself is free.
