Santa Monica Pier
Follow America's most famous cross country highway to the Pacific Ocean, and you will find yourself at the Santa Monica Pier. Designed as a pleasure palace and park a century ago, currently this restored family playground is gearing up for its 100th Gala in 2009. |

Even if you can’t join us then, you’ll enjoy the gift shops and boutiques, see a faithfully restored vintage carousel and working merry-go-round complete with leaping horses, and live concerts (every Thursday evening throughout the summer). If you have the time during your visit to Los Angeles, come back to see the outstanding exhibits at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, or you may choose to explore the pier by bicycle, offered for rent near the entrance. |
