From ongoing family-friendly events like Sand Crab Science and Feeding Sea Stars at the Aquarium to special events like Wake up with the Waves (https://santamonicapier.org/wakeupwiththewaves/) and the Otis Kite Festival (https://www.otis.edu/creative-action-integrated-learning/otis-8th-annual-kite-festival), there’s always something going on at the Santa Monica Pier. Even better: It’s just a short metro ride from 11724 Culver. Hop on and enjoy a summer of fun at the pier. https://santamonicapier.org/events/
