Located on the world-famous Santa Monica Pier, Pacific Park is the only amusement park on the West Coast to be located on a pier. There are dozen rides, games, ocean front restaurants and lots of shopping along the pier. Also located on the pier is the Route 66 End of the Trail Sign. The 2,450 mile long Route 66 was originally built to connect Chicago to Los Angeles. The actual end of the legendary highway has long been debated. But the sign officially marks the end of the highway. Along the pier we found Katherine Terrien singing and selling her CDs. There was also an aquarium and a trapeze school among all the shops and restaurants.Â
