Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz

Website

The classic boardwalk experience. Lots of variety in rides and games. Gentle for kids, more exciting for big kids. When I just had one preschooler we had a season pass so she could go on as many rides, as many times as she wanted. We didn't go much once baby #2 was born, mostly because of the 45 minute ride, but its one of my favorite places that we went on my birthday anyway. Im not much of a thrill seeker so I love the swings, carousel, dragon coaster. Mini golf indoors is fun too but because it's indoors, and pirate themed, it can get noisy. That was hard for my four year old, as was the section in a black lit room.
