Not bad for being in the middle of town This amuzement park lacks the diversity and depth of Marine World and the notoriety of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, but it's still not a bad place to take the kids once a year or so. The best part of it is that you don't have to drive forever, and for younger kids it can be pretty thrilling. PROS: Convenient and good for younger kids CONS: Not as fun as some of the other parks in the Bay Area

Lots of rollercoasters! Great America was a great time. The park isn't big enough to visit for more than a few days, but there is plenty to do. Like Disney or similar parks, there are themed cartoons and rides for all ages. Teh big draw is definately the rollercoasters though. There are tons of thrill rides, and some of the wildest coasters I've ever been on. From old wooden coasters, to newer inventions were riders are standing up or flying in the superman position. I definately recommend Top Gun, that was the best coaster ... read more

Top Gun is still my favorite My family are roller coasters fanatic. We have gone to alot of amusement parks in California and top gun is still my favorite. GA is the best amusement park in the bay area so this place gets packed during the summer. WOW card is a must for G' Force lovers.

Not impressed. We went to Great America in June for the first time in 15 years and brought our 6 yr. old. The place looks dirty and run down. Most of the staff were unfriendly and lazy. The food choices are unhealthy and, of course, overpriced. And the lines were incredibly long for most rides. There’s nothing real special about this place. Although the water park looks fun, I wish it was not connected to the rest of the park so we could just go there and maybe pay less.

used to be fun it used to be tons of fun but i got sick of it because they never get any new rides and their water park is really tiny. its kind of dirty there. most of the rides are kind of uncomfortable (the headrests kind of hurt) the only reasons i go now is because of the classic favorites like top gun and well...to scope out the guys. hehe.

Family fun Great America is a great place for family fun. You can catch live shows, mingle with the park characters and enjoy the thrills of the many rides in the park. Boomerang Bay is my favorite area in the park.
