Voted the World’s Best Seaside Park

Two-year-old thrill on the Carousel, 1972

At age 2, nothing could be more exciting to Jeremy than riding the Zebras on the Carousel! Check out that enthusiasm! We were relatively new to Santa Cruz, and this was his first trip to the Boardwalk. Jeremy eventually graduated to other rides as he got older and tall enough (bumper cars! Cave train! Giant Dipper!), but this was a memorable intro to Boardwalk fun.
