Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier 

This special day is Sponsored by Mattel, Inc., the fun-filled family day includes unlimited rides; plus carnival games stocked with prizes donated by Mattel; a brand new kid’s fun lounge which will include a place for kids to relax and participate in various new activities; and a VIP area featuring lunch donated by Wolfgang Puck Catering.  Generous support has also been given by the Toys “R” Us Foundation.

 Stars from Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, as well as other popular TV shows and movies will sign autographs for fans, take pictures at the event’s first Selfie Station and help out in the game booths.



Every year, Mattel Party on the Pier attracts a sellout crowd of all generations, and receives such generous corporate and foundation support. It has grown into a must-attend event for local families, and a day which former hospitalized children look forward to attending. 



Last year’s event raised a record amount for Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA and has allowed us to not only fund many high-priority programs for the hospital, but also to provide the children with continuity of care at our Westwood and Santa Monica locations. In addition, it enabled Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA to augment our telemedicine program which works to connect our world renowned pediatric sub-specialists with partner hospitals locally and globally," said Dr. Sherin Devaskar, physician-in-chief of Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA

The event is expected to once again attract a sellout crowd with general admission tickets available at $150 for adults and $75 for children ages 3 to 12; children under 3 are admitted free.  All net proceeds benefit Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA.
