5 /5 Samansa: Very timeless and beautiful! As an adult, I didn’t think I’d get the chance to ride a carousel again, but during my visit to the Santa Monica Pier, I stumbled upon this lovely, historic gem and was thrilled to see that adults were welcome to ride.
Tickets were just $3 USD, and the staff were kind, welcoming, and had no issue with me joining in. The building housing the carousel also featured other well-preserved historical pieces, along with informative displays that added to the charm.
The experience was truly joyful and brought a wave of childhood nostalgia. I had a wonderful time and left with a big smile on my face.
Highly recommend visiting if youre at the Pier! Its a special little piece of history.
