Paramount’s Great America is located in Santa Clara, about 45 miles south of downtown San Francisco. One of many theme parks owned by Paramount, this one boasts a traditional park as well as the Boomerang Bay Waterpark Resort.

Thrill rides are plentiful, including a number of coasters, but there are also lots of attractions and rides that will delight the younger set as well. KidZville has 18 rides that children and their parents can enjoy together and the littlest ones will want to make a stop at the Nick Jr. ® house, where they can visit favorite Nickelodeon characters.

Boomerang Bay also accommodates the whole family, with a special area for small children. Many of Paramount’s Great America’s live shows feature Nickelodeon characters like SpongeBob ™ or Blue’s Clues ™, as well as characters from movies distributed by Paramount. You may even catch a parade or two!
