California's Great America Coupons

A resourceful way of visiting California’s Great America, without paying the full admission price, is to utilize the many coupons and discounts offered. Some of these discounts and promotional offers are made available directly from the Great America park, while others come in the form of coupons or discount cards available at a number of affiliate outlets.

California's Great America is an amusement park located in Santa Clara, California, approximately 50 miles south of San Francisco, California. The park covers 364 acres, and operates yearly between March and October. http://www.cagreatamerica.com/contact.cfm

Built by the Marriott Corporation, California's Great America opened as Marriott's Great America in 1976. While the park did attract visitors, its profits were considered too low for the Marriott Corporation to continue operations, and they sold it to the Caz Development Company in 1983. After a lengthy series of legal issues between the park and the city of Santa Clara, Great America was sold to then Paramount Pictures owners, Paramount Communications in 1993. http://santaclaraca.gov/index.aspx?page=515

Many thrill rides and attractions were added during Paramount’s ownership of the park, including shows featuring popular characters and themes from the Nickelodeon television network. http://www.cagreatamerica.com/contact.cfm In May of 2006, Cedar Fair Entertainment Company purchased the Great America Park, including licensing agreements with Nickelodeon and Paramount in the deal, so that the park would be able to continue to operate under its current themes. On October 25, 2007 the park was officially renamed California's Great America. http://www.cagreatamerica.com/contact.cfm
