We paid for a fast pass and has our tickets printed out. For some reason they showed expired and the guy at the gate told us this has been happening, to go to Town Hall and get the passes. So far I have been waiting in line with another 75 other people. One person is working g the desk. We have 5 hours in the park and so far 1 hour is wasted. We won’t be back.

I went to Great America with low expectations -- my experiences with regional theme parks (thanks, Six Flags) has not often been positive. However, Great America really surprised me with a few things:
1. The staff were courteous, interactive and positive.
2. The place was well-maintained. No dingy buildings with peeling paint. Sure, the park is a forty years old, but everything was well maintained and clean.
3. A great variety of rides -- something for everyone.
4. Food prices were high, but not outrageous.
So, I do recommend Great America as a great day during your visit to Silicon Valley.

Went on Halloween 2021. Had fun in general and was able to hit all the mazes and a couple rides in 4 hours. The only draw back are the people there. Pretty much every single rule in place is instantly broken by everyone. Smoking everywhere, most people wearing no masks, terrible line cutting and place holding at every single maze, and general obnoxious behavior. Getting out of the parking lot at the end was awful, tons of cars cutting the lines, going around and etc. Regardless, we still had a good time and didn't wait longer then about 20-30 mins for anything. Just sucks that others have to ruin good things for people.

Was a nice little park, but a little disappointed. But, I should say that was because I was with my 4 1/2 son. This may be a great place for older kids. I wished there had been a more his age could enjoy. We got there at 11am and had riden everything he could by 4pm. And by that time the lines were to long, the rides weren’t waiting for.
I wish they had more live entertainment. We saw the one and only show, and it was super cute. There were stages set up, but they must have been for the Halloween after hours event. If there had been more live entertainment to enjoy between rides I would have said the park was Awesome. But without this it was lacking.
The food was AWEFUL. Total lunch cafeteria 🤢

I try to be fair with my reviews. In these trying times I know some things are out of the control of the people or place I am reviewing, But there was no excuse for the terrible experience today at Great America. California has 6 Major theme parks, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, California Adventure, Legoland, Six Flags and Great America, right now Great America is at the bottom of that list. Most of the major rides were not working, people who purchased a Fast Lane pass were not happy that most of the rides on the pass were not working. Lines for the rides were long, over an hour, and there were few places open to eat. Those that were open served food that was sub par. I live 110 miles from Great America, I live 400 miles from Knott's Berry Farm, right now I would rather driver the extra 300 miles to Knott's, that is how bad my experience at Great America was today.

I used to come here as a kid and just recently visited again as an adult. I didn't really know what to expect since it no longer has the Paramount Pictures licensing. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised!!
I went on a Friday in mid-September. Maybe many kids had already started school because it wasn't that busy at all. The longest wait time being 45min for Gold Striker. Flight Deck at 7pm was only a 20min wait. We were able to ride all the rides we wanted and had a great time. My nieces also enjoyed the waterpark.
We dined at the restaurant near the water park. I enjoyed a beer and we all shared some chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and a fruit cup. It was all fine. During the day we snacked on popcorn, which was buttery and salty, as it should be.
Like some of the other reviews mentioned, it's true that some employees seemed like they didn't want to be there, but some were very pleasant and made our ride experience more enjoyable.
The app is not the best. It's great for navigating, but the wait times didn't always show up so in some cases we would have to walk up to the ride entrance to assess the line. However, when the estimated wait time was posted in the app, it didn't seem wildly different from the actual wait time. Overall, the digital experience could be improved and finessed a lot more.
We did experience of a group of teens trying to cut in line, but it didn't sour my visit. I really enjoyed myself. So much that I even bought a season pass and have since gone 3 more times! I'd say temper your expectations. As far as amusement parks go, it's not the best, but it has its charms. They recently bought the land from Santa Clara County and have big plans for growth. I hope they continue to invest in the park as I will likely be a season pass holder for many seasons to come.

I have made a bit of a tradition of coming to Halloween Haunt. I knew it was going downhill but this year this is definitive proof that I will never be back, and if you have any sense- you won't go. Don't waste your money.
They have rules at the front such as no vapes, no weed, no smoking, yadda yadda yadda. The first smell in front of every Halloween maze is marijuana. You can watch kids in line vaping with their friends. There's rampant line cutting and no security. There was a false gun scare two years ago, this year after talking to a security guard there's a fight almost every hour. I witnessed one first hand.
A group of girls (high school age) were cutting in line- probably seven or eight of them- when one was grabbed by her hair and a fight started. The one who was cutting retreated and then came back fifteen minutes later with ten or eleven of her friends. I rolled my eyes and realized that this event is just attracting trash humans. No manners, smoking in line making it everyone's problem that they vape or smoke, and they have minimal security.
(On the night we went, October 1st, they had 58 security officers for an event that had THOUSANDS of people).
It's not worth your money, time, or energy to even be near great america. It breaks my heart because I used to love this place, but I'm never coming back.

Never knew about this park, I visited recently and they seriously have the best rides. I strongly suggest fast pass cause the lines are slow. Enjoy!

This is the worst experience out of all the times we attended. We been going since we were little kids (over 25 years), now we are bring our little ones. We went last Sunday.
Shops are either closed or empty shelves.
Rides either broken or closes.
Limited food and most of the kiosk does not work.
Bathrooms are just gross, no soap.
Staff looks so unhappy.
Arcade games : over prices which we understand. What was really upset. It is already hard enough to win. We played most of the games.
1) Throw the ball into the tub/bucket. After winning, I'm sorry these prizes are out of stock but clearly have 20-30 of them on the racks/ shelves. We are unable to give them but your choices or limited to just these 2 prizes.
2) Throw the ball and knock down the clowns/cats. Hit three and win your choice. After knocking all 3 down. You can pick from these 5 ugly prizes. We ask for 3 different prizes which are on top of the rack/ shelves. They claim they are unable to take off the rack unless we are completely out of stock. After they are completely out of stock, they can start taking off from the rack. (FYI) I saw one of the staff take one prize off the rack to give to another person. They would not exchange or switch it out. What is the difference? They claim so many people won today. Really? Most of your games look empty and clearly that day was not packed at all. I also talk to a few people that won prizes as well. They all had the same issues. I use to work at an arcade and our goal were to satisfy the customer if they prizes are visible. False advertisement and very misleading. This is a scam.
If you guys would let us know before we play that you are currently out of certain prizes. We would never play. People play for the prizes.
We spent $300 for tickets and probably another $500 on food and games.
Very disappointing. This place is garbage. Looks like Great America is going out of business!!!

Deben respetar las líneas, está bien los que pagan fast pass, tienen su derecho a prioridad, pero que aparte metan sus amigos por atrás donde salen las personas, me parece una falta de respeto con los que duramos en línea

If I'm planning on staying in the park to eat, lunch, dinner, snack and/or dessert, how much money should I budget per person?

Buy the meal plan. I’ve always bought 1 for 2 people to share. You can get an Entree and side every 90 mins. I would set my watch timer. Lol 😂. Same with the all day drink cup. Honestly a small drink seemed like it was $4 or more. We took turns choosing the meal each time and drink. Actually fun!

Yes you should however we travel very light so I never bring more than a small waist pack with me. There is a water park so you can store bags in lockers there or larger bags at the front.

Does Great America offer towels or do I need to bring my own? Also, should we do the water park at the end of the day of the beginning. We would only want to go on some of the great water slides. No children involved. Just two adults looking for fun. Any tips on how to plan for this visit would be great!

Hands down six flags magic mountain! There is plenty to do for kids of all ages. We are a family of four with children ages 8 & 13. There are a couple of water rides to cool off, although on busy days I'd recommend a fastpass. If you have time to go next door to Hurricane Harbor I'd recommend checking it out too. Hope this helps!

No it is included in admission which makes this a good option for a hot day. Ride the rides in the morning, cool off in afternoon. Disclaimer I did not actually go to BB just looked at it and it seemed good. We didn't have time on our one quick day.

I’m thinking of maybe visiting next Thursday for a few hours. How are the lines for Gold Striker, Flight Deck, and Railblazer on weekdays as those are the rides I’m mostly would go there for.
TravelBug
تشارلوت, North Carolina75 مساهمة
On a weekday if you get there early there are no lines. We road railblazer first and there was no line (for the front no lines early either). About noon - 1pm lines start to form, Railblazer was the longest at 40 minutes. None of the others had lines. We went on a Wednesday in July. No need for fast passes if you get there early.
