For many fathers, life is a roller coaster. But on Father’s Day, that experience can at least be a free one. Pacific Park, celebrating its 10th year, will honor fathers with a free ride on the West Coaster roller coaster on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

To enjoy the free ride, a father simply needs to go to the West Coaster entrance and notify the attraction’s operator and Pacific Park will provide a complimentary ride for the guest.

The steel roller coaster climbs to a height of more than five stories and trails from one end of the two-acre amusement park to the other providing unparalleled views of the Santa Monica Bay and Pacific Ocean.

Pacific Park is located on the historical Santa Monica Pier and is LA’s only admission free amusement park offering rides and attractions for kids and adults. For additional information or daily hours of operation, please call (310) 260-8744 or visit www.pacpark.com.
