If you go to the pier expecting a super cool stretch of bars and restaurants out over the water then you're going to be disappointed. The pier is definitely not a place to go out to, but it is a great...

I get that the pier is one of the most iconic parts of Santa Monica and the L.A. area as a whole, but to me, it was no more special or different than any other beachfront amusement park I?ve been to. Typical...

You may remember this carousel from the movie The Sting or many other appearances. The original was a Byzantine-Moorish California style, designed and built in 1916. This one was moved to Santa Monica in 1939...

The pier is a landmark for Santa Monica, but it's good only for a peek. I was disappointed when we visited as it was dingy (I know it's old) and very average. It's also super windy which made it unenjoyable....

I've been down on the beach at night many times, and one night we decided to take a walk along the beach towards the pier fairly late. We were pleasantly surprised to find everything still open past 10pm and...

The carousel is quite beautiful to look at, it is also quite historic. I enjoy looking at all the beautiful old photos they have on display. Kids love it and it is not very expensive – so you can let...

The carousel at Santa Monica Pier is pretty big--you can get a group of your friends and ride it together if you wanted. And its only a buck for each person, so not too shabby. They also offer reser...

We recently attended a baby shower at the Carousel and it is the perfect place to have a party. All the kids got arm bands so they could go on the carousel as many times as they wanted. Which is great because...

It's a quaint ride with lovely painted horses. Love taking the little kids in the family to see the carousel. I also like the location because of the other attractions nearby.

The Santa Monica Pier is a classic place to go on a warm weekend night and/or when you have out of town guests visiting. The sunsets here are beautiful and it's a pretty safe place near the beach. They have a...

I live in Oregon now, but I was born and raised in Santa Monica. Nothing makes me as homesick as seeing the Santa Monica Pier on television or in a movie. I watch some movies (Falling Down, Buddy System, L.A....

The arcade is a good size, the carousel is always fun, and the ferris wheel offers a fun perspective of the beach from a different angle. Bike rental shops are nearby, and everyone from visitors to residents...

I just don't get it - why do people make a big deal out of such a rundown, trashy pier? I know it used to be famous so if you're going to re-live past pop culture that's one thing, but in and of itself, SM...

It's definitely a fun place to go, but it is quite expensive. Parking is somewhat difficult, and each ride costs a ton of money. It is fun, though. And it is beautiful at night time to go on the Ferris Wheel...

Santa Monica Pier. What's the hype about this place? There's nothing here that no other 'fair' wouldn't have. I'll admit, it's a nice beach, somewhere nice to eat, sit and talk, or even stare at the stars (as...

I love the Santa Monica Pier. It's definitely somewhere I always go when I have a day off work. My mom and I have had a tradition where she comes up from San Diego once a year just to go to the pier. There's...

I like Santa Monica, but the Pier itself is vastly overrated. Any New Jersey boardwalk puts it to shame. As an easterner, I was shocked in how little this pier offered. I notice the positive reviews mention...

Though a lot of work has been done to improve Santa Monica Pier's appearance, safety, and cleaniness, it is still ugly, gang-infested, a dirty. Rather than going there, try going south to the Manhattan Bearch...

This is a good place to visit once, but there really isn't a need to go back. Restaurants are average and it's usually crowded. The only thing that separates the pier from any other kiosk-laden area is that it...
