Family Boardwalk Fun
The children of Los Angeleans have been going with family for boardwalk fun at the Santa Monica Pier and Carousel (santamonicapier.org) since 1909. Built as an outdoor family fun center on the 1,600-foot long Santa Monica cement pier, this landmark attraction includes game booths, an aquarium exhibit, restaurants, arcade games and rides including roller coasters, bumper cars and the giant carousel. Families can fish off the pier with proper licensing and various preforming act concerts and street entertainer shows are available for viewing enjoyment. The pier is open daily year round.
Roller Skating
Kids who enjoy roller skating can still find roller rinks in the Los Angeles area to bring the whole family to facilities such as AMF's World on Wheels (amfworldonwheels.com) on Venice Boulevard or Skateland in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge (skateland.net). Both establishments offer children pricing and free viewing for parents who don't wish to skate. Skate rental, arcade games and concessions are available for purchase and both facilities can be rented out for birthdays or private parties. Both skating centers are open daily as of 2011 except during hours rented for private events.
