I have to come here and spend the day. I love the boardwalk rides, the food/drinks, the beach, and the wharf. It is so spectacular and so much fun. You have got to come and experience it😁‼️
Haven't been to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk in years. We were here on the weekend, so we thought we'd take a look see.
I am impressed. The last time we were here, the area was very sketchy. Loitering, crime ridden, etc. The city and the owners of the boardwalk have a tremendous job of cleaning up the area of trash, and crime.
I watched families and children gather for fun times. Security was saturated as well as police patrols. I felt very safe, but was during the day. In all a very satisfying experience.

A nice place to visit with kids and family. Enjoy the rides and play on beach with a nice view of ocean.
Finding a parking spot will take sometime but it’s the same at every beach spots.
If you can spare time, also club visiting Mystery spot on your trip.

Good place for a family outing by the sea. Many restaurants and entertainment options are available with rides, stalls,games and other entertainment options.
A clean and well maintained place with adequate and clean rest rooms make things convenient.
The sea beach is inviting and on a warm day one can wade into the water.

We went on a Sunday morning in November. Sunny, beautiful, fun! Children's laughter was the best! Shops opened slowly as we wandered through from one end to the other. Clean, safe. We had lunch in the Boardwalk then sat on the beach all afternoon. Rides for all ages. Shops, arcades, and a wonderful variety of food! Clean tables and benches as well as photo ops and info boards all along the Boardwalk. Highly recommend!
🌞⛱️🎢🎠 A Day of Pure Fun at Santa Cruz Boardwalk! 🌊🍦🤩
I recently spent a fantastic day at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, and I can’t say enough about the incredible experience! It was a true dose of California beach magic.
The moment I stepped onto the boardwalk, I was greeted with the sound of crashing waves and the scent of salty sea air. The vibrant colors of the rides and games set against the backdrop of the ocean were simply breathtaking.
And let’s talk about the food! I indulged in some scrumptious cotton candy, tried a variety of delicious treats, and relished some of the best clam chowder ever.
The best part was the genuine, laid-back, and friendly atmosphere. It’s a place where families, friends, and even solo adventurers can have a blast. Everyone was so cheerful, and the staff was incredibly helpful.
The Santa Cruz Boardwalk is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a perfect blend of seaside serenity and thrilling amusements. It’s a gem on California’s coast that never loses its shine. I’m already planning my next visit because one day is just not enough to experience all the fun and beauty this place has to offer. 🌅🎡🏖️🌊🎉

Amazing experience visiting the place.
The rides are decently priced as compared to famous theme & amusement parks.
There is not so much waiting time for ride to enjoy.
The food stalls in the area are good. However, I felt couple of addition of small souvenir shop can make it more appealing.
Because of my experience, would love to get the common room area (washroom) to be more maintained

Always a great time -- sun, surf, sand, and rides. Great food choices too! We rode the Giant Dipper and the Log flume with the kids (ages 8 and 12), got dizzy 🥴 o n the tilt-a-whirl and the swinger, and had a blast. Nostalgia mixed with thrills -- what could be better for a Sunday afternoon? -- Love that you can purchase points on a card; makes the day economical for adults and kiddos alike.
You must bring your kids here, they have everything you need, from small kids to teenage roller coasters, nice experience because they have wide range of experience from haunted castle to giant roller coaster ride, you must come try yourself, the nice thing was the line is between 10-20mins compared to Legoland and Seaworld average wait time was 30+ more, this summer when we were there waited for 1.5 hrs and 2 hrs for one ride. I think this park is nice they offer you the option to pay as you go $5-7 per ride or to pay seasonal pass $139 buy online is cheaper compared to $149 at gate. Parking $25 whole day or park on street $2.25 per hour if you can find spot which will be plenty, also you can enter this park for free, I keep mentioning park because I think this is an experience can compare to Legoland and Seaworld not very nice experience for the waiting periord, also you can enter the beach for free.
Grew up in Cali, never been to Santa Cruz till the last summer. Rode famous roller coaster, an Ariel tram. Was amazing! Would recommend getting the seasonal pass if you are going to go for more than a day. It takes more than one day to ride all the rides due to the wait times an lines. Did the freight walk.. awesome!!!!! Bought matching sweatshirts for me an my daughter. Had more fun in the 3 hrs we were there than at six flags.
Drove from Oxnard CA to visit this place. Family loved it. You have to try the Big Dipper ride. Fast!!! Little hot so sunscreen and hats. Parking was 30 bucks and show up early because it gets jam packed. Make sure to purchase the card for rides and games or the wristband. For older kids and adults there are on a few large rides so before you purchase the all dY pass see if you are going to get on all the rides. 3 of use got a $100 card and were able to get on big rides and still had enough for a few games.
Loved it!! I visited there on my birthday 🎂 and enjoyed a lot all day.. Beautiful place, shows, rides and good food. Beach ⛱️ is beautiful but there is no cleanliness like other beaches. But overall good experience!! I like horror show and skyline. Highly recommend as it's not so far and you can explore all day... Have to go again soon 💕
I’ve been dreaming to go this place since 2021 when I saw it on US (movie). My dream came true in August, 2023! It was a sunny day! Very hot btw, so please wear your best beach outfit (shorts, sandals, Sleeveless blouse or T-shirt), use sunscreen! The boardwalk is free! However, if you want to play you need buy a card or a bracelet. I do recommend to buy a card, because you can gain points in arcade and buy things with the points that you’ve gained through the day. Also, the card never expires ;)!
In arcade games, you don’t need to wait. But if you want to get on the roller coaster, you need to wait. I went on a Sunday, at 10am, there was no line but after 12pm, You had to wait around 30 minutes for each game.
Water and food: I recommend bring your big bottle of water and food! There’s a lot of places to buy food here but it’s not cheap and they give you a small portion. Imagine if you go with your big family, you have to buy A LOT, so it’s better if you bring sandwiches! :D
Parking: there’s a private parking that cost $30 a day. We parked our car in the street and it cost 2/hour but at the end of the day, they didn’t charge us anything ^-^ awesome!
After all that has been said, I do recommend this place if you want to play, spend your day with your loved ones and ending the day walking around the beach or if you only want a little adrenaline and escape :)
