California’s Great America in Santa Clara Announces Its Final Season for 2027

California’s Great America to Close After the 2027 Season

California’s Great America, a major theme park in Santa Clara, has announced that 2027 will mark its final season of operation. This comes after over five decades of serving as a significant Bay Area attraction.

Reason for Closing: Park Lease Expiration

The theme park will close because its land lease is expiring in June 2028, and the lease will not be renewed. In a statement, officials said, “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision that 2027 will be the park’s final season.” This decision brings an end to operations that began in 1976.

Farewell Season Details and Important Dates

The farewell season will begin in March 2027 and conclude on Labor Day 2027. California’s Great America noted that further details about the 2027 operating calendar, including specific hours and days, will be shared at a later time. Visitors will have one last opportunity to experience the rides and traditions that have helped define the park for more than 50 years.

Opportunities for Guests in the Final Season

Park officials encourage generations of guests to return and make the most of the farewell season. According to Park Manager Dave Vosejpka, “The Farewell Season is an opportunity for generations of Bay Area guests to return, spend time with family and friends, and revisit the attractions and traditions that have made the park in Santa Clara, California such a meaningful part of the community.”

Group outings, corporate events, and visits from students and youth groups will continue throughout the final season. Guests can choose 2027 Gold or Prestige Passes for unlimited visits and passholder benefits during the farewell season.

Gold Pass and Prestige Pass Benefits

For those interested in maximizing their experience, both Gold Pass and Prestige Pass options will be available for the 2027 season. These passes offer unlimited visits throughout the park’s final year and provide valuable benefits for passholders.

Additionally, Gold and Prestige Passholders can access Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. There, families can explore a combined experience of animal encounters, marine life discovery, and a day filled with attractions at another popular Bay Area destination.

Looking Back on Over 50 Years of Memories

Since its opening in 1976, tens of millions of guests have visited California’s Great America. The park has been a significant site for creating family traditions and memorable moments across the Bay Area community.
