The Santa Monica Pier is a great place to take the family. It offers an arcade, food, amusement rides, and carnival games. It also has a great carousel ride at a great price. We love going there and riding the bumper cars. My daughter loves the rollercoaster. One downfall is that everything is pretty pricey, so you have to go with a lot of cash. The parking is pricey as well. The food isn't that great, not a lot of selection. But, it is a great place to take your kids and out-of-town visitors!
