Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced that California's Great America will close permanently after Labor Day 2027. The Santa Clara park will operate its final season before shutting its gates for good.

The park will open for its last year on Saturday, March 27, 2027. Its final operating day is scheduled for Labor Day, September 6, 2027.

“For more than five decades, this Santa Clara theme park has brought people together, created family traditions and served as the backdrop for unforgettable memories.”

— Dave Vosejpka

California's Great America first opened in 1976 as Marriott's Great America during the nation's Bicentennial year. Since then, it has welcomed tens of millions of guests.

The park changed ownership over the decades. Paramount Parks bought it in 1992 and renamed it Paramount's Great America. Cedar Fair acquired the park in 2006.

Park Manager Dave Vosejpka said the park has brought people together for more than five decades. He called the Farewell Season a chance for Bay Area guests to revisit attractions and traditions.

The closure ends half a century of operation at the Santa Clara site. Six Flags has not announced a replacement plan for the property.
