Non-ride attractions include Fright Walk under the boardwalk, a thrilling haunted house year-round (and we certainly got our thrills out of this recently!)įree daily entertainment too (magicians, comedians, live music, and more). The beach provides a picturesque backdrop, with ample space to enjoy picnics, dipping your toes in the water, or even some volleyball. Palm trees, colorful lights, the classic carousel and Giant Dipper roller coaster, plenty of decent food options including pizza, hot dogs, tacos, and more, the Boardwalk even has its own brand of beer. I used to come here for the classic theme park rides, arcade machines, midway games, and the pirate-themed mini golf inside Neptune's Kingdom, while enjoying strawberry and chocolate covered funnel cakes and other yummy carnival food in a laid back beach setting.īut over the years, I discovered just how much there is to appreciate about this amusement park, even as an adult.
Next time we make a trip out here, we'll be sure to bring a beach umbrella so we can relax at the beach. We were just exploring the boardwalk and played in the arcade! The arcade was a lot of fun, and it had AC! My boyfriend and I walked along the Santa Cruz Wharf and had a lovely dinner at Riva Fish House. It was only $5 flat rate! I remember parking used to cost much more. We got here on a Tuesday, found really good parking in the parking lot in front of Neptune's Kingdom. We didn't look at the business hours beforehand but kind of expected that it would be off season now that schools are back in session. I thought why not show the most touristy place of Santa Cruz. We wanted to spend the day out here because he has never been to Santa Cruz. This time around, I made a trip out here with my boyfriend. I used to come here a lot over the summers when I was a kid for family beach outings. It's been probably over 10 years since I've last visited the Beach Boardwalk. The Boardwalk spans a wide sandy beach along Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary where it's not unusual to see otters, dolphins, sea lions, and even whales swimming just offshore. Choices include corn dogs made from a secret family recipe, deep-fried artichokes, chocolate-covered bacon, and deep-fried Twinkies. There's also a family bowling center right across the street. Our indoor arcades offer the largest selection of games in Northern California with the latest video and redemption games, pinball machines, a vintage game collection, a two-story miniature golf course, and a laser tag arena. The 1924 Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster still thrills riders with its hair-raising dips and turns and the Looff Carousel's unique ring toss provides a surprising challenge. Two of our rides are National Historic Landmarks, but don't let that fool you. We believe in affordable family fun - that's why admission is free, summer entertainment is included, and ride tickets are affordable. The Boardwalk has been operating since 1907, and it hasn't missed a beat. Our vibrant, bustling amusement park is renowned for its great rides, remarkable history, spectacular beach setting, and friendly attitude. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is recognized as the best seaside park in the world. Buy your Ride Wristband online in advance, and save up to $20 per person.
