Theme Parks in CaliforniaFun Northern California Attractions
Theme parks in California's northern region include unusual offerings, like Trees of Mystery, which features a gondola ride up through the redwoods. There are very few theme parks in this region, but there are more in the San Francisco Bay Area. And, of course, the biggest and best places are in Southern California. Trees of Mystery: This is one of the few theme parks in California's North Coast, and one of the most unusual. It's all about the majestic coast redwoods, with a few fun elements thrown in. You'll be greeted at the entrance by a 49 foot Paul Bunyan statue, and his 35 foot pal, Babe the blue ox. After that, there's an interpretive trail through the redwood forest ending with a gondola ride (the Sky Trail) that takes you up to a viewing platform. On a clear day, you can enjoy some outstanding views. There's also a shuttle to the Sky Trail, and a fine Native American museum. Located on Highway 101 south of Crescent City, near Klamath. Sonoma Traintown: This family-owned theme park in California's wine country appeals primarily to the younger set, and to train enthusiasts. The park features a narrow gauge scale railroad that takes you through tunnels, over bridges, past waterfalls and stops at a petting zoo and miniature town before returning. Other rides include a carousel, ferris wheel, roller coaster, and more. Admission is free. Tickets for the train and for the rides are sold separately. Located on Highway 12 in Sonoma.
