Jimenez Yesica: This place is very high priced for each ride. They dont have plenty of rides for smaller children so the wrist band was not the best choice to go for. By the way price $30 for wrist band under 12 years old over 12 $50..each ride by its own is at least $8 for like a 2 minute ride. This is very high cost for me. Definitely clean thats why I gave them a 3 star.
Gary Standke: A really cool museum of the area. A short walk up from the 3rd st promenade. Free for residents and seniors. Lots of rooms to explore going back to the native people, through the Spanish, rancho era, to the early land speculation. Great artifacts to look at. The staff was very informative in answering questions.
Darryl Thompson: This was an incredible, fun, very very informative tour ! Ended up being just me and my lady and the TG RON ! he made the tour such a fun experience ! in time and we are forever grateful! We definitely recommend this tour ! 100% Thank you!
Payman: Its the end of Route 66. Theres plenty to see and do. The pier has been used as a backdrop to many movies and TV shows.
Just make sure to bring a sweater if youre visiting in the later hours.
JO Hernan: Nice place to see, smell the ocean, and take some good photos. Itās safe, decent restaurants to try seafood, lots of street vendors of churros, which I would not recommend at all.
It could be busy, but will be a pleasant experience.
Maria Mahler: Their walking tours are incredibly interesting and educational! After having visited Santa Monica a couple of times I joined one of their Saturday walking tours and I have to say I experienced Santa Monica from a completely different point of view. Ive always loved the place but learning so much about its (in terms of years relatively short) history and opening my view up to the incredible mix of architecture allowed me to understand it in much more depth - and with so many funny and intersting details to share with others. Our guide encouraged us to "look up more" and this advise has not only deepened my love for Santa Monica, it has also impacted the way I travel and walk around cities. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
Highly recommended for anyone visiting (or in fact living in) Santa Monica.
