Theamusement park at Mission Beachoffers lots of old-fashioned family fun, plus a range of newer thrill rides andattractions.

If the flashinglights, pumping music and high-speed rides of modern theme parks areoverwhelming, then you’ll appreciate the gentler pace of the attractions inBelmont Park.Builtin 1925 by local property magnate John D. Spreckles, the park was an instanthit thanks to attractions like the Giant Dipper roller coaster and the Plungeswimming pool. These are the only two original attractions that were kept whenthe park was restored in the 1980s.

Despitethe dozens of newer rides, the Giant Dipper remains the most iconic feature ofthe park. Its curves dominate the skyline and you’ll see it from Mission Beachlong before you enter the park.

The Wave House is amore recent Belmont Park attraction and features two new surf simulation rides,the Flowrider and the Flowbarrel. Rush Laser Tag and Arcade is great fun forgroups, especially teenagers, but couples and smaller families may not get thesame experience and atmosphere.

You’ll find plenty ofother nostalgic attractions including an old-fashioned carousel and bumpercars. Unlimited ride wristbands are available for purchase at the ticket desk.Eateries at the park range from sit-down places like the Wave House Bar andGrill to fast-food options at the Patio Grill.Withno admission fee, free parking and cheap food, Belmont Park is an inexpensiveway to spend a day at the beach. Enter and leave as many times as you wantthroughout the day. In summer, head to the park at night for a great partyatmosphere it’s open until midnight on Friday and Saturday from mid-Junethrough mid-August. You’ll find the lines for the rides less busy, or evennon-existent, in winter, which makes the park a perfect holiday attraction evenin the cooler months.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Over priced, even with pre-paid wrist band.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Not many rides. Lots of food options. Not quite the turn of the century charm of most old Boardwalks, but friendly staff. Fun for an evening. Not a whole day.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Not enough to do for toddlers and small children.
