The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is timeless IMO. My parents brought me here and now my wife and I have started making great memories here as well!! Nothing like the salt air, beach vibes, great food, and of course the pretty exciting rides!! Can’t wait to go back!! This is definitely a great staycation for us Bay Area Folks!!

This was our family's first time visiting Santa Cruz so we weren't quite sure what to expect other than what we had read online.
Being from Vegas, the weather was absolutely perfect! Upper 60's to low 70's with a nice ocean breeze...definitely a nice break from the Vegas heat!
So first off, parking. There were lots located in front of the park...all looked to be about 20.00 for the whole day so make sure to add that to the budget unless you're within walking distance.
We had purchased the all day ride bands for about 55.00 a person I believe and we were able to ride a lot of rides during the day, some even 2 or 3 times. Since the park is cashless, we also purchased a "fun" card with 200.00 to spend later ...turned out to be a fiasco but more on that later...
Rides: they ranged from kid friendly to high adrenalin which was nice since we had a 9 and 12 year old with us. Lines were doable, longest wait for us was about 15 minutes. Not too bad when compared to places like Disney or Legoland.
Food: your average boardwalk fare... deep fried everything, ice cream, hot dogs, burgers, etc.... They had a "special" on their plastic souvenir cup for 11.99, with 99 cent refills all day.... normally I would pass but since I had trouble with that "fun" card, I purchased one... its a tourist spot so highway robbery is to be expected.
As for the downfalls, there were a few unfortunately... We went on a Friday when its normally expected to stay open until about 9pm but we had gone a night designated for grad night so they closed at 6 instead so that was disappointing.
As for that "fun" card that was purchased... we weren't able to use it all
on food so we were under the impression that we could use the rest to buy souvenirs at the gift shop. Sadly, this was not the case so just be advised that when purchasing the card, you can only use on food and arcade. I ended up going back and buying one of those ridiculously expensive souvenir cups just to burn through some of the remaining funds.
Overall, minus the few hiccups, it was a good experience and a great way to spend the day with kids. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area!

A beautiful early morning stroll along the beach following a drive down from San Francisco the day before. The amusements were slowly opening up and it was the first day I really felt rested and "on holiday" Jetlag from our flight from London was diseappearing and this sea air was just what I needed. A great shame we were only here for one night and half a day as I would have loved to stay longer and explore further.

We just went here on a whim and rode a few rides (Giant dipper)and we’re only here for a few hours. We had a great time being tourists.

This is a classic old school amusement park! This place reminds me of a defunct park Crystal Beach from southern Ontario Canada that I grew up visiting! The main focus here are dark and flat rides as well as a world class arcade with mini golf! The beach is right there too! The coasters are smaller and older than most parks, but still fun! The Sky Glider is a nice way to get across the park! The three dark rides look fun, but unfortunately we were only able to ride one. They also have a scary walk through attraction too! One of the kiddie rides called Speedway was really fun! It’s a themed version of an old ride called the Whip! The arcade is full of new and classic games, pool, pinball a shooting gallery and more! I really loved this place and I can’t wait to visit here again!

This is an absolutely disgusting and terrible place to visit. Dirty, packed with people, and trashed filled. If you wanted to take care of the wildlife and the beaches around you, you would have trashed cleaned up and the beaches would be clean. Customer service is not welcoming either as the people are very rude.

Lots of things to do, staff was friendly, easy access, clean, lots of food options. Not worth the money, took 3 kids, paid full price for ride wrist bands but the lines were very long throughout the hole day. There was no discount for the 2 kids that couldn't ride 50% of the rides due to height. Would have been nice if they offered a discounted rate for the little kids....

We rode the Sea Serpent ride and the ride operator tightened the lap belt to an appropriate tightness but decided to go push more to the point that it was cutting into my legs. She walked away too quickly before I could say anything. During the ride, it started cutting into my legs a lot and I had to hold the straps up from my legs as best I could. At the end of the ride I noticed I was bleeding on my legs from the cloth lap bar. I told the ride operator not to tighten so hard next time and she laughed at me and said “ok” and walked away. I don’t think that is ok to be bleeding after a ride at the Boardwalk.

What rides are open weekdays? Where can I find a list of inside rides that will be open weekdays in February?
Cassandra F
סקרמנטו, קליפורניה15 contributions
The rides are open every day, including weekends unless there is inclement weather, but this may not be true during thw winter, so check their website.
Weather in February in California is generally cool and rainy, especially by the ocean, so if the Boardwalk chooses to be closed due to bad weather, it should be identified on their website.
Is there re- entry to the park with an all day pass?? Thanks

Can I buy my wristbands online the morning I'm going it was a last minute trip decision?

אוקלנד, קליפורניה469 contributions
Yes, I think so. Everything is offered on-line. Jan
When you buy a wristband from Santa Cruz, how much will it cost and how many rides will you get to ride on. Also how many times can you ride the same ride? Please help me!!!

I cant remember what the cost was but it will give you unlimited rides on all rides the entire time you are there.
I lost my season pass card… do i have to get a new season pass or am i allowed to get a new card.
I purchased wristbands online but don’t have a printer can I show proof from my phone if tickets?

Yes I bought tickets online and as long as you give the confirmation number they will accept it
What happens if I ordered 3 season passes from Santa Cruz beach boardwalk over a week ago and I go in a week and still have not received them in the mail? I have a record of purchasing them but nothing more. Now what? I have tried everything to get ahold of them via email and calling them over and over and nobody will answer me or call me back for days. Not sure what to do at this point. I am afraid that I will not have passes when I go soon.
