Magical! So much of the Carousel is hand-painted; and there's an ice cream shop inside, as well. 🍦
It's located at the bottom of the ramp when you enter/exit the pier; make this your first stop or your last; but don't miss it. 🎠

About time that they finally opened this place up $3.00 a ticket... July 1st I brought the Family 👪 ❤️ here to Santa Monica Beach pier... And it was Absolutely beautiful full of people...
My 6 year old loved it. I believe it was only $3. The carousel was not crowded for being a Sunday afternoon although the pier was packed.
Went on Friday, arrived at 2pm, lady was sitting there, said she was on an hour lunch break, and we'd have to come back in an hour... So lunch break just started? Open from 11-7? 8 hours minus a 1hr lunch break? No sign or indication about that. Shouldn't be hard to hit a button while you eat. Lucky her, 1 hour lunch break, bad for business though.
I've been to the pier before but didn't know this was here. Kids enjoyed the ride😁 $3 is a good price per ticket. The building is beautiful and historic. There's also an old fashioned soda place inside. Serving cream soda, floats, shakes etc. Old fashioned candy too. Plan on trying next time.
This awesome carousel is a beautiful piece of history reaching it's 100th birthday in 2022. It was a very fun ride.
I have been here plenty to tell you that it’s a great carousel. Never busy and it’s cheap. $3 a ticket will take you around and around. They do take credit cards so that’s great for those of us who don’t carry cash (fyi the ice cream parlor is cash only). The ride is fun and nostalgic. However, and this is why I didn’t give it five stars.
Is it just me or lately does it smell like pee inside?
I went to get ice cream and ride again last week but man I couldn’t stand the smell. It was pretty bad. Maybe the humidity lately has made it bad? Idk but they need to make it better. Also two weeks ago when I went again there was a person sleeping on the floor to the left when you walk in by some trashcans. Ghetto and weird. Anyways I won’t give up on the carousel but I will give it the sniff test before I buy tickets. The smell was strong and I smelled it as soon as I walked in so I left.
Maybe some fans would help.
Because it’s a beautiful carousel. They have the chariots for those who are scared or too heavy for the horses :). The carousels 100 year anniversary is coming up and tickets will be .25¢! Hopefully they give it a good scrub and purify the air for that event. Come here and enjoy a ride. I’ve been here many many times and have only smelled the pee once so hopefully it was an isolated incident.

We had a great time on the pier carousel! They allow you to ride with children on your lap. Ride lasts about 1-2 minutes. Indoor so it is not effected by bad weather. $3 per adult. Young children ride for free. Staff were very helpful. Ride was clean and sanitized. The carousel is pretty much the first thing on the pier. Fun little attraction.
