24th Annual Mattel Party on the Pier
The Party goes on -- in 2025.
The Annual Mattel Party on the Pier skips 2024 and will return for its 25th year in 2025.
UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital’s annual Party on the Pier is back at Santa Monica Pier.
The day's highlights include carnival games with prizes from Mattel toys (can you say Barbie?!), UCLA People-Animal Connection therapy dogs, unlimited rides for all attendees, and a Power of Play kids' activity tent with creative crafts and activities.
Celebrity appearances and photo booths add a touch of star power to the day.
General admission tickets are $150 for adults and $75 for children ages 3 to 12; children under 3 are admitted free. Meal vouchers and carnival treats are included. Tickets can be purchased in advance online; limited General Admission Tickets will be available for sale on site during the event.
Note: Tickets for carnival games sold separately. This is a cashless event; only cards will be accepted.
This fun-filled day benefits the UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital and is open to the public.
