Pacific Park

Fodor's Review:

Built on Santa Monica Pier, extending over the bay, this small amusement area harks back to the days of the grand Pacific Ocean Park (1957-67). Its attractions include a tame coaster, a large Ferris wheel, and a handful of rides that wildly satisfy the under-six crowd. This isn't squeaky-clean Disneyland, so expect real-world litter and watch your personal belongings. Since the pier is riddled with nails and splinters, opt for sneakers over flip-flops.

  • Cost: Rides $2-$6, all-day pass $20
  • Open: Hrs vary, weather permitting. Call or check Web site for schedule.
