The upgrades have been amazing, I really enjoyed the golf course. The ride lines weren't longer than 5 min which was great. Got the wrist band from Groupon for a deal. Cost around $42 with the discount. My favorite is the rock climbing wall and it's even better now.

What a cool spot for kids and adults. Rides, games, zip lining and so much more. Right next to the boardwalk and beautiful ocean views and sands. Lots of eateries and shops. Nice day in San Diego. Highly recommended.

A fun day in the sun. This place is iconic to Missin beach. I spent the day trying treats and taking in the sights. I'm sad the roller-coaster was under construction yet I understand maintenance is needed. Games, rides qnd treats this place is a perfect place for family fun or a cozy date. Paired with the boardwalk and beach this place is picturesque.

A great, classic old style amusement park!! This year, Belmont Park is celebrating its 100 year anniversary. We were here during Memorial Day weekend, so this amusement park along with nearby Mission Beach was jam packed!! Plenty of rides, food, games, and activities going on here. We rode the roller coaster here long ago, and yes, it's the classic wooden style coaster. This place is just a good time overall, whatever you do here!!

I grew up going to Belmont Park. It looks a little different than it did back then. We enjoyed ourselves. They had their Christmas decor out and it made for some great photo ops. We stopped in the arcade and played awhile. The arcade is pretty much a rip off because anything worth using the tickets on requires thousands of tickets. It would be more affordable to go to the store and buy what you want. I still love Belmont park. The beach is right there and parking is free.

Still an awesome time at this small amusement park. This is a family friendly place, lots of shops, lots of food, an ice cream spot, an arcade, zip line, rides for little & big kids alike & much more. They are right next to the beach. Our family loves visiting here, we will definitely be back.

This place is so cute! Can't believe I didn't come here when I lived in San Diego. I never got to try any of the rides, but my friends and I did an escape room at Escapology. Parking was challenging to find, but we managed to snag a spot in the main entrance lot. With a map, Belmont Park is fairly easy to navigate. Or just wander. Most of my 5-star rating is for the "spicy" dole whip we rewarded ourselves with after making a successful escape. We sat at one of the public tables and people-watched as we hung out. I'm sure everyone's experience of Belmont Park has changed over the years, especially for those that grew up in the area. But I had a blast overall!

This week we visited Disneyland, California adventure, Sea World and the Safari Park. Well, let me tell you, this was the hit of the week! Which was unexpected. Belmont Park is celebrating its 100 year anniversary, Disney it's 70th and Sea World it's 60th. Belmont park is the original theme park. It has great rides, free parking, and solid food choices. When you look around you can see this is where California Adventure drew its inspiration. My nieces loved the rides! We got the wrist band, which is the best deal for teens and tweens that love rides. I felt the cost, wait time and ride satisfaction was the best for them here. Favorite rides are the giant dipper, zip line, beach blaster. But they are all good! Of the six parks we visited this week. This was a favorite (#1 ranked) with 1/3 of our group, everyone else had it a #2 or #3. Overall a solid choice and a winner! Good value, good rides, great family experience.

This is an old boardwalk type rides. $8 per ride for most adult rides , however the bulk of the rides are designed for small children. Like most tourist attractions it is overpriced . I will give it credit for it seems well maintained for something this old . It was crowded and many of the guest were rude. First place we have been to in CA where people were not friendly.

Accidentally stumbled upon Belmont Park after doing an escape room right next door, and I'm so glad we did! It immediately reminded me of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, just on a slightly smaller scale. There are plenty of fun rides to choose from and a great mix of food options to snack on while you wander around. It's a charming little spot with a laid-back vibe--perfect for an unexpected detour. Would definitely come back!

This was a fun throwback. It reminds me of Santa Monica Pier or Coney Island. It's a cute boardwalk with a cool arcade, decent food, and fund rides and attractions. Food - they have hot dog on a stick, Wetzel's pretzels, burgers, and pizza. We had pizza which was two BIG slices and a drink for $16. And we also had hamburgers and fries about the same price. The hamburger and fries were really delicious. *tip* if you can eat or will eat a plain cheeseburger get the kids one. It's the same Size and $5 less. Rides/attractions - you can put tickets individually in the amount for the rides you want to ride or you can get a season pass OR you can get a wristband for the day. We did the wristband and I totally was the best deal for us at least. In person it's $65, the online price is $55 and you can buy online at funex for $49. It covers all 14 rides as many times as you want, 2 trips on the zip line, and as many rounds of these attractions : Mini Golf, Laser Tag, Sky Ropes, Lasermaze, The Rockwall, Coconut Climb and Xanadu 7D Theater. While we were there we didn't personally have any issues with staff or any safety concerns. It was relatively clean as well. It was also nice that you could walk two minutes down to the beach boardwalk and be on the sand! There's a beach rental shop other restaurants and breweries out there as well. Oh yeah one note, parking IS AWFUL. if that deters you, don't even try to go. You'll have to circle for quite some time.

My daughter said it looked like they were having a round table meeting lol

October kids are free with a paying adult. My daughter friend had her bday party there. Invited us. We had so much fun!!!! Totally worth it!!!! Our party tried the funnel cake delish, corn dog pretty good, pizza was so good, churros are Americanized. Hard find a good chorro. Milkshake was delish. Only has a few bites of each thing but it filled me up for the whole day. Lots of water, take a bottle and they let you fill up at the soda fountain. I recommend sticking to water. Stay hydrated. Bathrooms were decent given the crowd. - [x] roller coaster 3x amazing views - [x] beach blaster(airscrambler)4x everyone's fave - [x] tiki typhoon(gravitron) not as fun as it use to be - [x] flipOut 3x get ready for a head scrabbler - [ ] 3 different drop rides (zero gravity, not for large busts nor bellies. - [ ] ship wrecked, (CLOSED ) the rope pull part was open... again not for large busts nor bellies. - [x] mic drop)2x fun kiddie version. - [x] 2 bumper cars (Krazy Cars, always fun - [x] Overdrive, very difficult to climb in and get seated for an adult thats not fit lol but I did it. Fun to go in circles. - [x] tilt-a-whirl, hilarious!!! - [x] dip n' dive kiddie ride but funny for adults - [x] Carousel, fun. Interesting character on it - [ ] 2 little rides (wave jumper, not even trying to fit lol - [ ] speedway) not even trying to fit lol - [ ] Mini Golf. Didn't try it - [ ] Laser Tag it was CLOSED *cry* - [ ] Sky Ropes, didn't try it - [x] Lasermaze (open 10am-5:30pm) 2x super generic but kids had fun. - [ ] The Rockwall.

Ask the Community - Belmont Park

Lugares ricos para comer cerca de Belmont Park?

¿Depende de lo que consideres? Sin embargo, hay muchos lugares para elegir.

Is it better in the evening Or day time?

For those over 21 they have security that does check IDs bringing more ds is better during the day .

How many tickets does each ride require if you buy a ticket bundle rather than purchasing an unlimited wristband?

Is it safe to bring kids here in the evening?

Yes, but it gets pitch black sometimes during the winter and there's a few homeless and shady folks roaming.

Does Belmont Park allow service dogs?

Yes, they allow all dogs.

Parking at Belmont park?

Yes there is a lot of free public parking.

Are the rides open in January/February or just over the summer?

This will be a two part review and will check at the park with the high surf they have been having in the beach area ill find out what rides are open.

Is it going to be open this weekend?

Yes.

Is there a mini golf here?

Yes there is

Is it dog friendly?

Yes it is

Does the arcade have Jurassic Park 2015?

Not sure didn't visit the arcade

Do they have dance dance Revolution at the arcade?

No DDR machine.

Are pups allowed in? Obviously not on rides but just to walk around?

Yes ... must be leashed at all times.

We were considering buying a Ride and Play combo wristband through Local Flavor, and the offer said "premium" rides not included but I couldn't find anywhere that listed what specifically were the "premium" rides. Are bumper cars/big dipper premium?

As far as I know, the Premium attractions are the Zipline and Go Karts. Bumper cars and Giant Dipper are included on the daily wristband.

Does the arcade at Belmont Park still have skeeball?

Yes it does

Is Big Dipper Open? I am planning on going next weekend & I have been looking on the website for all the information but it doesn't state the ride is open under the schedule with all the other rides.

Yes ... we were just there on April 7th

Is there anything to do at night? Other than eating.

Walking, and enjoying the sunset.. There's plenty of bike rentals around Belmont Park.. I think they have live Dj on Friday's as well

Do they have turkey legs there?

Yes, they usually do but I'm not sure if they have them all of the time.

When you get the unlimited ride wristband is it specific for that day (ie particular color etc) or can you activate/use it any day?

When purchasing an unlimited ride wristband it will be given on the day of arrival and have a specific scan code only valid for that day's use. Thank you for your inquiry!

If I do pay as you ride, if I go to a ride, can I give cash or do I have to pay for the tickets and use tickets for rides? If it is tickets to use on rides, how many tickets is it for rides?

You have to buy tickets!

Compared to the downtown location it is much smaller however, it had all the nostalgic games to keep us entertained between pin ball, basketball as well as the classics like street fighter, ninja turtles, etc. Since it is a smaller location we ended up chatting with the staff and they were extremely friendly. For an unexpected night it was a great night. The only problem we did have is my friend dropped his credit card and the phone number online and on Yelp are the same and it was disconnected so it was frustrating since parking is difficult in the area.

The ambiance is casual and low key during the day. It does get packed at night. There's a multitude of games / ping ping, pool, bowling etc... if you're in the mood for that. The only thing that really got on my nerves was the first time I went it was pretty late & I asked the hostess if they were still serving food. She told me she didn't know & she just started working there (this was around the 1st week of April 2026). I asked her if she could find out for me & she told me to go ask at the bar. I think the management needs to FILL IN your staff as to when food is being served & when it stops. Because I didn't appreciate this girl just looking pretty at the hostess stand & and then telling me to ask somebody else at the bar that worked there. I was tired from moving & it just felt like she was being lazy & didn't care about me as the customer I will be back, because I like the food but the staff needs to know nuanced questions like this and not make the customer work, when we are paying YOU.
