Amusement park in California
About
Pacific Park is an oceanfront amusement park located on the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California. It is the only amusement park on the West Coast located directly on a pier, and the only admission-free amusement park in Los Angeles County.
Pacific Park faces the Pacific Ocean, towards the direction of Santa Catalina Island. The park hosts several food and retail outlets, as well a total of twelve rides, including a roller coaster that encircles the majority of the area and the world's first and only solar-powered ferris wheel. The park has appeared in over 500 films and television shows such as Fat Albert, Hannah Montana, Kidsongs, 90210, Bean, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, as well as video games such as Grand Theft Auto V. It is operated by Santa Monica Amusements LLC, which was acquired by SC Holdings in March 2024.
