The legendary Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk welcomes visitors this season with rides, games, and nonstop fun! Ride two National Historic Landmarks: the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster and the Looff Carousel, in addition to thrill rides, family rides, and kiddie rides.
- Arrive at the Boardwalk early. Crowds build fast, especially on weekends. The more crowded the Boardwalk is, the longer the lines for rides and food, and the harder it is to wander through the Boardwalk with kids in tow.
- Plan out your day in advance. Check the Boardwalk website to map out the age-appropriate rides and attractions for your family. Pre-planning will help you determine how many tickets you will need to buy, how long you are planning on being there, and where you should park.
- Buy ride tickets in bulk. If you plan to go on rides, purchase your tickets in advance to save yourself time at the Boardwalk. Tickets cost $1 each, and most rides take 5-6 tickets.
- Pack snacks and lunch. We brought snacks to enjoy while we waited in the long ride lines and while walking between rides. If you’re into fried foods, the Boardwalk has some delicious options, such as corn dogs, hot dogs, pizza, fish and chips, fried potato rings, funnel cakes, deep-fried twinkies or oreos, and garlic fries.

The wide beach and splashable waves of Santa Cruz are always inviting, but add a colorful boardwalk with rides, games, and music—and how can you say no? Not many do. The popular Santa Cruz Boardwalk has been a summertime ritual for families since it debuted in 1907.
