Santa Monica Pier Amusement Park Event Venue

Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier is an approximately two-acre amusement park positioned over the Pacific Ocean, offering a large-scale event setting built around rides, midway games and food. The property is used for corporate events, company picnics, wrap parties, premieres and sales-incentive gatherings, allowing organizers to build the event around entertainment that is already part of the location. Overall capacity information reaches roughly 1,800 guests. The venue is ADA accessible and provides on-site catering, outdoor function areas, Wi-Fi, waterfront access and ocean views. Outside catering is also allowed.

The Seaside Pavilion is a named event area for groups that want a more defined gathering point within the larger park environment. Unlike a conventional ballroom, Pacific Park gives guests activities to move through throughout the event, which can be especially effective for company outings and large social programs where interaction matters more than assigned seating. The Santa Monica Pier setting also provides a recognizable Los Angeles backdrop without requiring a separate theme. Because the venue is outdoors and integrated into a public destination, planners should account for weather, access and the operational details of using the park for a private group. Pacific Park is especially appropriate for organizations seeking a highly experiential waterfront event with built-in entertainment and substantial capacity.
