Give your dad a boost. Pacific Park will soar to heights of more than 55 feet to honor fathers with a free ride on the West Coaster roller coaster on Father’s Day.

To enjoy the free ride, a father 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.

“A father contributes so much to his family throughout the year that it’s a pleasure to be able to recognize him with a free ride on the West Coaster,” says Jeff Klocke, director of marketing of Pacific Park. “It’s a small gesture of thanks to all fathers on this special day from the entire team of employees at Pacific Park.”

This 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.

Pacific Park is located on the Santa Monica Pier and is LA’s only admission-free amusement park offering rides and attractions for kids and adults.

This free event takes place on Sunday, June 19, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. For additional information, daily hours of operation or driving directions, call (310) 260- 8744 or visit www.pacpark.com.
