Theme Parks in California
Disneyland... Knott's Berry Farm... Legoland... Sea World... Why are they called theme parks?
A Theme Park is an amusement park that is designed to carry a specific theme throughout. Disneyland was the state's first major theme park, and is quite typical -- with a central theme based on Disney characters and films. Inside, there are different sub-themes, such as Fantasyland, Frontierland, Adventureland and Tomorrowland.
Visiting these famous locations is one of the state's most popular vacation activities. In addition to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, there are attractions based on Lego's (Legoland), a berry farm (Knott's Berry Farm) and a movie studio (Universal Studios).
Some destinations, like Six Flags Magic Mountain, are famous for their roller coasters and thrill-rides for older children and adults.
Others, like the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, resemble classic amusement parks.
Fairytale Town and Fairyland (both based on classic fairy tales) and Pixieland and Gilroy Gardens are geared to younger children. So, no matter what you're looking for, there's definitely something for everyone!
