To get the impact of the famous images of the Santa Monica Pier, this is s fun stop, especially with little ones.

The Santa Monica Pier is a fun experience for the entire family. As a caveat, we are an active lifestyle brand and we don't do a lot in the theme park world. That said it's certainly good fun sometimes! For a once in a while or once a year kind of thing, this is a special place with old school charm. Having a carnival experience alongside the water with a breeze is also really special, and you can burn off those corn dogs and sweet treats with a nice long walk along the beach!!
