The longer I live on this planet, the more proud I am to be California native - and more importantly, a California resident as well. After all, you can't control where you where you were born, but at this point in the United States, women and men still have the right to choose where to live.
California offers some of the world's best attractions in addition to its robust economy that offers a wide range of services to people from all around the nation and the world. So I hope that many readers around the U.S. will remember that California is here for you, whenever you might have the need, or desire, to visit.
Of course, our focus here on Theme Park Insider is theme parks, so let's take a look on this day at our readers' top 20 theme park attractions in the Golden State. Links are to our reviews of the attractions, from when they debuted or returned.
No matter how bleak things may feel in the moment, please always remember that there are people out there creating wonderful, welcoming spaces for you - especially in those moments when you need them most. And while theme parks are often among the most notable of those spaces, many, many more exist and are waiting for you!
