Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier

Visit a California classic and get access to unlimited rides at the famous Pacific Park, an amusement park built right on the Santa Monica Pier. Opened in 1996, this seaside park boasts twelve rides, games and attractions, food outlets, and more.

You can take a spin on the world’s only solar-powered Ferris wheel and enjoy the bird’s-eye-view of the surfers and ocean below, take a ride on the “West Coaster,” the park’s steel roller coaster, and get a feel for surfing on “Inkie’s Wave Jumper,” a rotating ride that simulates actual waves.

When you ready for a break from all the fun, recharge at one of Pacific Park’s seven different food outlets like Whac-a-mole Tacos, Scoops Ice Cream and Treats, and Beach Burge.

Pacific Park highlights

• Inkie’s Wave Jumper – a surf simulation ride that rotates that lets you jump up and down and bounce as if you're actually riding a wave.
• Shark Frenzy – A new spin on the classic tilt-a-whirl. Hang on for a frenzy of excitement as you whirl around in the open mouth of great shark.
• West Coaster – Travelling at 35mph, this ride is the only ocean-front steel roller coaster on the West Coast.
• Pacific Plunge – a 9-story tower ride that makes you feel completely weightless as it whizzes you 150-feet over the Santa Monica Bay in a 10-seat gondola before dropping you in a freefall.
• Frog Hopper – this ride bounces young riders straight up and down to heights of 18-feet taking some exciting plunges.
• Seaside Swing – Enjoy a calmer ride as this swing gently rises up to 45-degrees to give you commanding views of the ocean from Palos Verdes Peninsula to Santa Monica Mountains.
• Pacific Wheel – The world’s only solar-powered Ferris wheel will lift you 130 feet above Santa Monica Pier.
• Sea Planes – Families will love hopping on this ride and controlling the height and speed on the plane.
