Can Great America tickets be used at the Paramount Great America in Santa Clara?

Question

Is PGA a branch off of Great America? If anyone who has ever bought Great America tickets to use in Santa Clara, and can share their experience, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Answer 1

Paramount's Great America located in Santa Clara has always been PGA ever since I can remember and unless you bought tickets specifically for a park called just "Great America" there is a possibility that it is not the same as the one in Santa Clara.

It depends where you purchased the ticket but if the ticket has somewhere that says Paramounts Great America; then it will work for the one in Santa Clara.

Normally, I would buy either WOW passes or the VIP pass to PGA during the summer and both passes give you unlimited times to enter the park. The only difference between the VIP and WOW is that VIP cardholders get free parking and also unlimited entrance to a park in Gilroy called Bonfante Gardens. Arrive early and try to eat either later or earlier than most people to avoid long lines (for example, most people eat from 11-2PM; so if you are not eating during those times, you can usually get on rides with much shorter lines.)

Answer 2

I am not sure where the other park is that you bought tickets for...but I would assume where they are from the same company they should accept them...but call them and ask.

I actually live right behind GA and i love the park as do my kids...we got the WOW passes and the kids go all summer. and now they have the water park and my kids give it rave reviews. Go early in the morning as most people show up about an hour after it opens....I find Thursdays seem to be lighter in crowds and weekends in May are lighter as well. I have taken kids from 3 years up to teen and all have found rides and had fun there.

Great America in Santa Clara is part of the Six Flags empire.
