Mattel Party on the Pier Benefitting Mattel Chilren's Hospital UCLA

The 12th annual "Mattel Party on the Pier" is a fun-filled family fundraising event held at Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier to benefit Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA. Guests will enjoy a full day of amusement park rides, a silent auction, arts and crafts, and carnival games stocked with prizes donated by Mattel and manned by stars from some of today's hottest kids' television shows. Attendees will include hospital supporters, medical staff, pediatric patients and their families, and celebrities.   

The event will take place at Pacific Park, located on the Santa Monica Pier, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16.

General admission tickets are $100 for adults and $50 for children ages 2 to 12; children under 2 are admitted free. Tickets must be purchased in advance, as the event is expected to sell out.
