About

About
California's Great America is a 100-acre (40 ha) amusement park located in Santa Clara, California. Owned and operated by Cedar Fair, it originally opened in 1976 as one of two parks built by the Marriott Corporation. The park has appeared in 1994 films Beverly Hills Cop III and Getting Even with Dad and features over 40 rides and attractions. One of its most notable attractions, Gold Striker, has been featured as a top-ranked wooden roller coaster in Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards publication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the season pass available ? And if yes how can I purchase it ?
We do not offer a season pass on our website.
I am a caregiver and not doing the rides and also assisting a 103-year old lady, do we have to pay admission?
Totally understand you guys are not riding but unfortunately California's Great America has a set admission price for all of their guests. You both would have to purchase a ticket for admission.
Do we need to be vaccinated to enter the park?
You do not need a vaccine to enter the park but we do ask guest who are not vaccinated to please wear a mask.
If vaccinated, do we still have to wear masks?
If vaccinated, no need to wear a mask. Guest who are not vaccinated is required to wear a mask.
Are wheelchairs and strollers available for rent?
A limited supply of wheelchairs, electric convenience vehicles (ECV), and strollers are available for rent at the Rental Center inside the main gate and to the right. However, since wheelchairs, ECV’s, and strollers are rented on a first-come, first-served basis, we urge guests to bring their own. Wheelchairs, ECV’s, and strollers may not be taken out of the Park gates or to the parking lot. However, a Park associate will be happy to provide any assistance you may need at that time. Anyone using a personal Segway, should stop by Guest Services.
What's the bag and camera policy?
NEW BAG AND CAMERA POLICY New for 2021: Guests may not bring bags of any kind, including purses, backpacks, or diaper bags, into the park during Halloween Haunt. No cameras or photography is permitted inside our haunted mazes or scare zones. To learn more, click here https://bit.ly/3zYwoYX

The theme park isn't the biggest but that's also good because you can finish all the rides without too much waiting. The new one (Rail Blazer) does take a little time to wait, especially at noon (12 - 2), so save it til the end where the line is shorter. My favorites are Xtreme Skyflier (which u have to pay), Flight Deck, and Demon. Notes: Waterpark only opens from May to August (I think), so don't bring your swim stuff in September like I did.

Thanks to a really nice discount for Great America, a park I have loved for years, I was able to provide tickets for my grandchildren during a summer with a limited budget. Just go to their website and start looking at what they have to offer. The list includes dining, parks admission, and various types of experiences all over the country. Just start looking and find what's right for you. It is quick and easy!!!
