With views of Catalina Island, Pacific Park sits proudly on the Santa Monica boardwalk and charges a whopping zero dollars for admission. The park is home to thirteen rides, including the world’s first (and only!) solar powered ferris wheel. Pacific Park is also a star in its own right, with appearances in over 500 movie and television shows. The West Coaster runs around the perimeter of Pacific Park and reaches speeds of 35 miles per hour. Hold onto your hats!
