💬 What Parents Say

• 🕐Visit during sunset for the most iconic experience — ride the West Coaster as the sun sets over the ocean for breathtaking views that make the experience unforgettable
• 💡Purchase an Annual Pass to get 20% off food and retail on every visit — especially valuable if you plan multiple trips, and consider buying during the Spring Break Annual Pass Sale for extra savings
• 🕐Expect crowds, especially on weekends and peak season — arrive early or choose weekday visits for shorter lines and a more relaxed pier experience
• 💡The free experiences are the highlights — the ocean breeze, sunset views, beach access, and the historic Route 66 landmark don't require ride tickets, making this an affordable outing even without paid attractions
• 💡Be aware of parking lot safety concerns and general pier safety — avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuables, stay alert in parking areas, and plan your visit during well-populated daylight hours when possible
