Insider tip
Walk-on admission is cheap if you skip rides. Seawall parking is paid; use the ParkMobile app.
Before you go
What they actually say
- There are two different tickets and the cheap one is easy to miss: an all-day ride pass is $30.99 for anyone 48 inches and over and $24.99 under 48 inches, but a Pier Walk-On Pass that gets you onto the pier without rides is $12.50, $11.50 under 48 inches, and $10.50 for seniors.
- Individual ride tickets start at $6.00 each and still require a Walk-On Pass on top, so two rides cost about the same as the all-day pass. Pick one approach or the other.
- Every ride has a height requirement and height is checked at entry, so measure a small child before paying for a ride pass.
- Seawall parking outside the pier is paid, not free, and is handled through the ParkMobile app.
