Poor Review for the restaurant Barbary Coast
By Unknown, 09/18/09
I love going to the boardwalk..it's awesome!! The atmosphere is alot of fun...but I went to the restaurant Barbary Coast recently and it was the worst food ever!! and for soo much money!! On top of that, their customer service wasn't good either. I would suggest going to a different place to eat...there are plenty of options :)

Love it!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/10/08
I absolutely love the Boardwalk. I've been going there since I was young, and have progressed from such timeless kiddie rides like cave Train to the thrilling Giant Dipper and Fireball. The park maintains it's Coney Island-esque charm while still keeping up with newer parks. Very inexpensive compared to Disneyland, and never as crowded! The local feel and beachy atmosphere will have you relaxed and having fun in no time1

Great time with my family!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/09/08
We had a BLAST at The Boardwalk!! Our kids loved it and so did we. The boardwalk is a great Historic Landmark, I would not change anything!! The rides were fun and the deep fried twinkle was GOOD. Everything from our hotel, tickets to the boardwalk, and the food was inexpensive. I spent way more money at Disneyland in one day than I did at the boardwalk for the weekend. We stayed at the Carousel Motel which was across the street to the Boardwalk. I paid less than $150 for the weekend. The hotel was Not bad. It was clean and the front desk was VERY nice. We went to town and yes, there are homeless people but to tell you the truth, they were cleaner than the ones in Los Angeles. Santa Cruz is VERY clean. I didn't see any trash on the ground. IF you go NORTH 6miles you will end up in the Redwoods. We went on a Train Ride at Roaring Camp. It was GREAT!! We had such a great time-- Can't wait to go back!!!!!

Boardwalk
By Ilene M, 04/30/08
I had alot of fun at the Boardwalk. The rides are very outdated. I felt the wristbands were way to expensive for what you get. I also played mini golf and laser tag with my kids. I think there is something for everyone. If you go out of season make sure the Boardwalk is functioning.

A Real Time
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/08/08
Something happens when you get close to the ocean, it became so easy to relax. I felt like I did as a kid visiting the beach. Fun time. Real experience, not contrived.

Great Place to visit
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/30/07
I have been going to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk since I was born. I love it. I also used to work there. The location is great. And you can walk the Boardwalk for free and only pay to go on the rides. The Giant Dipper is one of the best wood roller coaster around

Take me away from this place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/03/07
This place must be where all the homeless live. The place is full of undesirables and junky food. Also, it closed at about 7:30 on a Saturday evening.

Workers are slow to move!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/13/07
We had a great time, the only thing is when you go after 5pm with a pepsi product you can get a band good for all rides until 11pm. we had to stand in line and the young kids that work the rides are so slow to move for example the bumper cars, they have a hard time counting how many cars they have and then how many people they let in so they are always counting to see how many more people they can let in and then walk as slow as they can to check the safety belts on every rider, it was so time consuming that we only had time to ride 6 rides instead of everything and this was a thursday nite. Plus we could only stay one nite at Santa Cruz, come on workers move a little faster it really won't hurt you and you make alot more people happier.
