If California theme parks conjure up images of long lines for attractions and food, visitors to the San Francisco Bay area will find nirvana with a stop at California’s Great America, a Santa Clara sister park to famous Knotts Berry Farm.

During our formative years in the Pacific Northwest, we relished the opportunity we had every few years to visit California and, in particular, Disneyland.
