Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - Review/Rating

We visited the park and it was a truly great experience. We enjoyed the sweeping views when driving down Highway 17 to cross the mountain past Scotts Valley into the beach town.

The parking opposite the park is $10. We loved the fact that you can walk right into the park without purchasing a ticket. Only the rides cost money. And, they have a variety of purchase options for tickets. There are 60-ticket strips for $37.95 and unlimited ride wristbands for $28.95. On the average rides are 4 tickets with the smaller rides 3 tickets and the most popular (and scary) ones 6 tickets. The snack prices at the stalls seemed relatively reasonable when compared to other parks with a good size ice-cream cone costing $3.50.

The best part of the rides was the fact that the lines were very manageable with the most popular ones having a 10-minute wait. The most enjoyable ride was the Logger’s Revenge with its big-splashing finale.
