All four Santa Monica markets are Certified Farmers’ Markets (CFMs). They are organized and managed by the City of Santa Monica for the mutual benefit of all who enjoy them. An estimated 900,000 shoppers visit the markets every year. Collectively, they provide customers year-round with a selection of fresh, seasonal produce that is pre-eminent among market programs in the state.
Located on the world famous Santa Monica Pier, Pacific Park is a great place for the family to play. It’s the West Coast’s only amusement park located on a pier. There’s a lot of stuff to do here and a great view of the ocean. The pier is absolutely huge and has restaurants and shopping. It’s a classic east coast feeling to walk around the ferris wheel and the roller coaster. They also have bumper cars which was my favorite as a kid.
The Pac Park website has a few things for kids too. There’s a gaming section which lets you play puzzle games, matching games and many others.
