World-famous for its rollercoaster. Busy in the summer and parking is usually a challenge. There is a trolly you can catch in downtown Santa Cruz that will take you here; the better option transportation-wise. :-) Fun for the family, right by the beach. The offer free music on the beach in the summer.

Great for date night. They have a little historic cable car "elevator" that is a hit with the kids (and adults). If you go, we prefer finding a seat in the bar area. Go early, they do get busy. If you'll visit the restaurant area, call for reservations.
