Santa Cruz 🎡 California’s Candy-Colored Summer Amusement Park

🌅 Beach 🌊 Ocean 🎠 Amusement Park 🌴 Palm Trees 🇺🇸 Summer in California is incomplete without a visit to this pastel-colored beach amusement park 🎡 🎠 Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk 🎢 This place combines beach, amusement park, and arcade all in one, where you can enjoy the sea view 🌊, take a cable car 🆘, and savor delicious food 🍔. The entire park is vibrant 📷, with photos naturally taking on pastel tones 💙💜💛🧡💚🤍. The colorful cable cars and roller coasters 🆘 are perfect for photos. I highly recommend visiting on a sunny day; it’s truly stunning. 🎟 Ticket Information: 🆓 Entry to the park is free. You can either buy tickets for individual attractions or get a rechargeable card. 🎫 All-day Pass: The $69.99 ticket gives you access to all attractions. 🌟 You can also get a rechargeable card. Each dollar equals one point, and for $50, you get 55 points. 🅿️ There’s a large paid parking lot right next to the amusement park. On weekends, it’s $30 per day. 🎢 Rides and Attractions: 👭 For Big Kids: Swing carousel, U-shaped skateboard, 🎃 haunted house, various roller coasters 🎢, pirate ship 🏴‍☠️, water park 🏞️, drop tower ⚓️, Ferris wheel 🎡, and aerial tram 🆘. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For Little Kids: Mechanical games, spinning cups, carousel 🎡, and various rotating rides... 🏝 Beach: Just beyond the park is a beach 🏖️.
