Amazing amusement park . Great roller coasters , big pizza and beautiful girls in the show at the center of the park . You can see Levi's Stadium from the most wild roller coaster hahaha.

If two of you go on Centrifuge ride, make sure heavier person sits outward, else lighter person sitting outwards gets crushed due to weight (they don't warn you)

pretty old theme park in bay area.. they host big events like memorial day, halloween .. but employees r careless... funnel cake was pretty good, all of my friends enjoyed it ;)

The Season Pass pays for itself--especially if you get the gold pass and use the free parking ! Definitely go to the ice skating show. It's fantastic!

Francine Sneddon

My kids are small, we are limited on what we can do. Still had a blast. Wait to buy the dining season pass till next year. They don't let you use it now.

Laurie Dalzell

Take the Amtrak from Oakland. It's a perfect way to save a ton of stress and just enjoy the day AND the trip home.

Acacia Glover

Goldstriker is worth the long wait ! If I could suggest a place to sit, it would be the back, because you get more air time. More air time means more time to scream!

Chris Griffin

Gold Rush was off da Hook.....Fast and longer than most Roller Coasters ......Get's your Heart Racing....and Boomerang Bay was Fun with the Kids.

Karsten

On a Saturday in spring or summer, buying the Fast Lane (if you can) is very much worth it!

Darlene King

Go online and purchase your tickets. Considerable discount ! Easy and fast! Includes parking pass.

Rob Von Bargen

Great place to have fun with family and friends weather your in the rides or enjoying a concert !

Monique Dear

Love working in security it has been a Great experience. Glad I chose here to get back in the Work force after being absent for 6yrs.

Jessica Jung

Overall an average theme park with an awkward patriotic theme, but Mass Effect New Earth is so awesome!!!

Jesse Dotson

This place is super fun! We went during the day today and it was a blast!

Arwa ????????

And lastly the most important thing is that the restaurants weren't that clean ???? but the good part that the rides are good ????????

Andrew Seroff

Gold Striker is the best wooden coaster I've ever been on. As smooth as Top Gun and as exciting as Stealth.

Maria Martinez

Carn-evil is THE best haunted house here year after year. It was super scary tonight! Got the juices flowing.

Just be careful when buying season passes as they tend to change rates for season pass ticket owners guests daily without showing those rates online.

William Torrey

Aerial Ice Extreme is far better than standard amusement park fare. Make a point of seeing it.

Dan Amrich

Funnel cake for $10? Okay, a splurge -- but they don't tell you chocolate sauce and whipped cream are $2 each when they offer them. Tasty treat, but not $14 tasty.

John Kidde

Buy online during the week, for a weekday visit, and save $27! You're stupid not to!

Todd Rezsnyak

It was fun! Not too crowded , some excellent rides, wait times were reasonable.

Angel January

So many great thrill rollercoasters . Definitely ride Top gun , Drop Zone, and the Grizzly.

Claudia Recinos

I've come to this place so many times. It's usually pretty empty so lines go by fast, which is cool.

Meinani Carrara

Chicken Tenders and fries were good from the main food court . Also, bring extra money because it's more expensive than Raging Waters.

Kalyan Narasimhan

Don't miss the flight deck , drop tower, delirium and the demon. Amazing rides!

Zack Stockton

Rides and people watching . Visit your chiropractor afterwards- these rides are no joke!

Saundra Allman

I have been with my daughter, it is fun especially the water activities. Bring a lunch , you will spend less!

Toom

Rode the Demon in the front row for the first time in 25 years. What a blast! Want to reclaim your youth? Go visit Great America.

Mia H

At haunt; pay the $1 for the 3d glasses at the clown maze! It is totally worth it!

Danielle Brown

The staff here has no sense of urgency and the rides tend to break down often. You'll probably get stuck in the air during part of your visit.

Ja

We are here for AAA members appreciation day!!Great!! Fun day with rides--Justine b- day weekend treat!!

Keith Smith

Get passes if you can, this place is expensive ! And be prepared to wait a LONG time while at the food court on weekends.

Mackenzie P.

Lots of great rides for all ages. Food could be better but not the worst.

Dom

Share the loaded funnel cake with a friend if you are enjoying it before a ride

Missy Kirtley

Go see the ice show. It's amazing.

Arwa ????????

.... There were in every game maybe two staff members maybe that what made them slow .. So we stand in the line for too long when it shouldn't be that much if there were more staff members

Zoe B

No cash. They do give you the option to turn cash into cards for use at the park , but this seems like a scam to keep unused monies.

Holly Shaw

Although it rained...We still had a wonderful time!

Theya Gular

Everything is great

Diana Arz

Get here early to avoid the lines and heat.

James Brent

The pizz a shack has 25 oz. cans of Fosters to go for 9 bucks.

Gina Coleman

You can't visit without riding Psycho Mouse . Old school coaster but lots of fun.

Steve B

Ride the tidal wave! Bummer they took it out like ten years ago.

Scottie Milagro

Fast lane was totally worth it!

Arwa ????????

The place is kinda dirty ... Specially the restrooms we went there and told the women who cleans to clean the bathroom and told us that it was clean and it wasn't... The staff are so slow ...

Melissa ???? Grant

This place gets crazy busy on the weekends

Jill McElroy

They have Panda Express & Subway! Finally, food that isn't completely gross! (Still redunkulously expensive , but at least it's editable.)

John Wallace

Gold pass doesn't give access to preferred parking anymore!

Lea Papa

Beware of the groups of line cutters.
