We went with teens: let them just wonder. Usually for my wife and I, we just walk around, do a few rides. This time of year it’s great as you can just enjoy great weather with a nice breeze. For the rides, when we first got there it wasn’t busy but only a few rides were open. It got busier after lunch and more rides seemed to open up. The meal plan is not worth it. We did the Funday ticket which gives you all day meals every 90 min without drinks plus on top of admission. It’s a great price if you really think you’re going to have more than one meal. My experience is young kids rarely would eat enough to make a meal plan worth it, and teens don’t care to wait for the food that long as there are usually fairly long waits. Usually I find these very limiting-only some entrees included and for the money, I would have rather had something else. You basically choose from burgers, pizza, fried chicken and hot dogs. Snacks like churros, pretzels,nachos are not included. The website is very misleading when it comes to that. The churro and funnel cake place takes the premium dining meal plan only, but only other snacks are included not the actual churros or funnel cakes.

It is a great little park. So sad that it’s is going to close. The Bay Area needs a decent amusement park and CGA is so much more family friendly and better themed than Six Flags in Vallejo. CGA’s parking situation is also so much better than Six Flags. Food prices are exorbitant and options are limited. $90 for 6 pretzels and 5 drinks. $80 for 2 hot dogs and 5 icees. $12 for popcorn. You can bring your own water bottle and refill at the park. Restrooms aren’t the cleanest but they get the job done. Lines aren’t long but they move pretty slowly. Despite it all, we love the park and want it to get better and would pay the price to go. This is not Disneyland, so we have much lower expectations. Kids always have fun spending the day at the park, and we are grateful that we have an amusement park in less than an hour drive instead of having to drive 5-7 hours to get to the nearest park. Please please please keep this park open.

We participated in the Great America Food and Wine Festival, and we want to say that this park is a very good experience! All the staff were friendly and professional, the grounds were clean and well kept. The entry fees are very reasonable. There is plenty to do for the youg kids in the section towards the water park. We recommend the Cantina for lunch. When we return we will visit the New Orleans section.

We took our kids (6 and 10) and had a good time. I came here trying to find info on food--for a meal, it currently costs about $18 plus drink plus tax. Buying a meal plan is also about $18, but comes with the (small) drink. However, we got two Premium meal plans and ate in shifts. It came out to $65 or so and we got 6 meals from our two plans. We could have gotten 8, since we were there all day, but we were all full and burnt-out on theme park food. (The food is typical for a theme park, nothing fancy, but it works.)
