“Charming!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2012 NEW

I don't understand some of the negative reviews below. What were those people expecting, Disneyland? The Santa Monica pier is charming and good fun! Some of the rides were expensive, but the Ferris Wheel offered great views and it was very romantic, despite the chilly september night. We played air hockey, and my finger got squished! So we ran to... More

“Blah”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2012

If you've been to any Boardwalk on the East Coast, then the only excitement may be the Ferris wheel, otherwise...dirty, expensive and nothing rides and games. More

“A theme park on a pier”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2012

It's quaint and charming, but not impressive. It seems like a lot of local teens hang out there. It has games and rides. The roller coaster is fun enough. More

“Good for a old dirty amusement park”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2012

This place would be extremely better if they would clean up the place. The place needs more adequate lighting and the rides need to be updated. More

“Decent park”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2011

They have wristbands to let you ride all day long and it pretty much rocks. The coaster is a kiddie coaster but they let you ride twice and blow snow on you as you climb the lift hill More
