About This Event
Pacific Park is the amusement park on the Santa Monica Pier, featuring the world's only solar-powered Ferris wheel (the Pacific Wheel), a roller coaster, and over a dozen rides and games. The park is open daily year-round, with extended hours on weekends and during summer. Walking the Pier is free; you only pay for rides and games. The Ferris wheel offers the best views of the coastline and is especially stunning at sunset and after dark when it lights up.
