When was the last time you took a ride on a Ferris wheel… let alone a Ferris wheel over the Pacific Ocean?! Hightail it to the Santa Monica Pier before 6pm Monday - Thursday (September - May) and ride the Ferris wheel for only $3.00 per person at Pacific Park Amusement Park! Time it right and you can enjoy the sparkling city lights of Santa Monica from high atop the Santa Monica Pier Ferris wheel for 3 bucks! Or make it a sunset ride for those romantics out there. Running a little late, that's ok, after 6pm the Ferris wheel is still only $5.00 per person.

Need to get a little angst out after a long day at work? Grab a friend (or loved one) and take out your frustrations on the bumper cars for only $3.00 before 6pm Monday - Thursday (September - May).

Cheap fun starts at Pacific Park around 11am or 12pm weekdays on the Ferris wheel and bumper cars - each just $3.00 per person until 6pm Monday - Thursday (September - May) - children 3 and under are free. Double-check times on the Santa Monica Pier Pacific Park calendar.

Can't resist the speeding roller coaster? It's just $5.00 per person.
