People planning to go to California’s Great America in Santa Clara this weekend should be prepared for a big change in who’s allowed in and who’s not.
Starting this Saturday, the theme park will institute a chaperone policy. Anyone 15 years old or younger must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 21 years old to enter the park.
This is a policy started by Knotts Berry Farm in Southern California, but could be quite a surprise for those who aren’t familiar with the policy. Great America's owner, the Cedar Fair company, says it decided to start a chaperone policy because they say that over the past two years, there have been increasing incidents of unruly behavior across this entertainment industry.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
The teens must have a chaperone in order to be admitted or remain in park after 4 p.m. The chaperone cannot bring in more than 10 guests and any seen unaccompanied are subject to ejection, and chaperones must be available by phone at all times.“I do have a son, he is 10 years old, he can definitely handle his own,” said parent Richard Haun. “But I wouldn’t use Great America as a drop-off-like babysitting kind of venue. It’s just not the responsibility of the park.
