Hotel Near California's Great America
4.5 Miles | 11 Minutes Drive
California's Great America is the amusement park on Great America Parkway in north Santa Clara, right next to Levi's Stadium and about 11 minutes from Granada Hotel. It mixes big roller coasters with rides for younger kids, live shows, and the South Bay Shores water park in the warmer months.
The park runs on a seasonal calendar with special events through the year, so the days and hours change. A room with a kitchenette is handy here: keep snacks and drinks in the fridge and have an easy breakfast before a long day at the park.
Tips
- Check the official calendar first. The park is not open every day.
- Buy tickets online ahead of time, and watch for season pass and bundle deals.
- Avoid Levi's Stadium event days if you want lighter traffic on Great America Parkway.
