About Pacific Park
Pacific Park places an amusement park over the Pacific on Santa Monica Pier, making the setting as important as the rides. It is a natural fit for a coastal Los Angeles outing, especially when the group wants a little riding alongside time on the pier and nearby waterfront. The best plan takes advantage of that combination rather than treating it as a miniature resort park.
The Pacific Wheel and West Coaster give the park its recognisable profile, with family rides and games filling out the visit. The coaster is a different proposition from a destination thrill machine: part of its appeal is riding in this particular location. Decide how many attractions you want before choosing individual rides or a broader riding product.

Planning your visit
Allow time for the walk onto the pier and plan parking or public transport before reaching the busy beachfront. The operator's directions are more useful than driving towards the map pin itself. A few rides, food and time to enjoy the ocean can make a satisfying visit without an ambitious schedule. Check the operating calendar for your intended session, especially if you are fitting the park around another booking.
