We take our children who are 3 and 6 and they love that place. They have lots of rides appropriate for their ages. more

It's not to the caliber of Disneyland, but its a great amusement park. It's got Nick charaters for the kids, and scary crazy rollercoaster rides for the adults. You also can use the water park if you want to (we did not use the water park its was just too much to try and fit both in). You can rent... more

I took my daughter and her friend to ca Great America and they had a blast. There were only a couple issues with the park. First of all, there are many teenagers cutting in line and swearing. Secondly, most of the rides were way too crazy for my daughter and her friend and usually they love roller coasters. more

I am spoiled by being near Disney Parks. The lines here were long and in some cases the rides were not friendly for what they call "people of unusual proportions". In other words if you are not skinny this many not be the park for you. Unfortunately you do not find that out until after the long lines. There were... more

This is a great theme park. My wife and I took our son here and had a great time. We especially enjoyed the Nickelodeon area as our son is big SpongeBob Squarepants fan. He was able to take a photo with SpongeBob and also Patrick, his two favorite characters. My wife and I enjoyed a break watching the park's new... more

This place has the sickest coasters in the Bay Area! Invertigo is still my favorite, though I actually enjoy Flight Deck (formerly Top Gun) more now that I don't have to listen Kenny Loggins in line. Apart from the coasters, the park is definitely geared more toward kids. I've taken my nephew a few times and he loves the water... more

If you do go to "Great??" America, please do not bring a purse. You will not be allowed to take it on roller coasters and will have to leave it in unsupervised cubbies. My daughters' bags were stolen today. According to security, this happens every day and they don't care enough to do anything about it. Other reasons not to... more

We recently went to Great America and had a great time! It's nice that there is a waterpark there too! If you plan to get a locker, get one closer to the waterpark side so that it is more convenient to get to. They do not let you switch lockers if you've had it over an hour and it's $12... more

The park is beautifully laid out and maintained. Most of my experience is with East Coast Theme Parks, and this one was above average in cleanliness and ease of finding your way around. The Invertigo and Delirium are some amazing rides, and there are several choices of major roller coasters in every category. Great America is owned by Cedar Fair... more
