4.5Disneyland Park(27.8k reviews)from $285.00 - Great family experience Friday: 8:00 AM - 12:00 AM Amusement & Theme Parks
Disneyland is one of the funnest places I’ve taken my family to. The amount of thought that goes into every last detail there is amazing. Staff are all very friendly, happy and helpful. It definitely gets busy, so arriving early is a good idea. Security lineups moved very quickly, which is nice having bags ready for inspection helps speed up the process too. Food inside the park can be a bit pricey so sometimes packing a lunch is a good option. Rides are so much fun. Very small children can be taken on over 50% of the rides. Genie pass is most definitely worth it. My only complaint is that the volume seems to have been turned up 100% since we were last there 7 years ago. So if you have a child with sensory issue, be sure to bring along noise cancelling ear protection, I sure wish I had.See more..

A little pricey and wish that you could order tickets online and fill out waiver online (1 time preferred instead of each day) and can pay with card (cash only accepted) Just to get tickets and fill out waiver took us 1 hour. The kids did have an amazing time but for a family of 4 to spend $200 for tubing and 3 rides seemed excessive but overall a good time. Go early during peak season...parking was a nightmare...See more..

4.0Pixieland(71 reviews) - Small, Needs Some Updating, Fun for Toddlers Amusement & Theme Parks
I bring my son here when we need to change it up a little. It's big enough for my 2-3 year old to run around and burn some energy on the rides. As an adult I can recognize that it needs some TLC/updating but the kids don't care and it gets the job done. I'm glad it's close to home and serves a purpose. Sure it'd be nice if it was fancy and new but I'm sure the economics don't warrant that. If you've ever owned a business it's about choices and I think they're doing a good enough job to have me go back again.See more..
4.5Golfland USA(66 reviews) - Loved it Friday: 10:00 AM - 12:00 AM Amusement & Theme Parks

I had a great time and it was a good workout because I was sore the next day!See more..
Storyland is so cute. If you are expecting Disneyland, don't go. It is small and you can do the entire park in about 4 hours if the lines are not long. They have older kiddie rides and figures of dinosaurs that are just adorable. The prices are reasonable and parking is easy. It has been refreshed, but still an older type park with typical fair type rides. But is is fun, your kids (3-8) will love it. If you are in town go there. You will like it.See more..

4.0Uesugi Farms Pumpkin Park(3 reviews) - First time here!! Friday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Amusement & Theme Parks We were invited to attend a STH Event with the San Jose Sharks, we were able to shoot the bazookas, go through the corn field and a voucher for a pumpkin. The bazooka guns were fun to try hit the bullseye, but the kid working was not a happy camper, he acted like he hated being there, which was a shame. We then did the maze and it was alot of fun. We found all the check points except for one, not sure how we bi-passed it, but it really was a lot of fun! As for the pumpkin picking, I guess I misread the voucher, I though we could use it for the whole $10 on any pumpkins combined, but apparently it was only good for 1 pumpkin, the lady at the cashier was kind of rude about it. I just paid the balance and was on my way. All in all, it was alot of fun and who knew there were so many different pumpkins! Oh, I almost forgot, there was also a hay ride, which was really cute, we had a great time!See more..
