Thrill rides & waterslides. Family-friendly theme park with thrill rides, water attractions, live entertainment & food options.

💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Skip parking at the venue lot due to high costs. Instead, use public light rail or park at Santa Clara Convention Center for free parking options.
• 🕐Avoid visiting on days when Levi's Stadium has events, as the park becomes significantly more crowded due to shared traffic and parking.
• 💡Plan to spend a full day at the park. Most visitors recommend reserving your entire day to experience the rides and attractions without rushing, and consider returning for the water park area.
• 💡If you don't have a seasonal pass, ask about discount ticket options. Friends with seasonal passes can help you get reduced daily admission rates.
• 💡The park's roller coaster lineup (Gold Striker, RailBlade, Flight Deck, Demon, Patriot, and Grizzly) can be experienced in just a couple of hours during less crowded periods.
