It depends on the type of theme park you are interested in. There is Sea World with dolfins and whales etc. and there is Six Flags parks which are roller coaster rides etc. Both are very interesting is you like this type of thing.

I'd have to vote for siges answer in that the original Sea World in San Diego has a lot of charm besides beign buried in, perhaps, the best medim-largish city in the U.S.

Secondly, I'd highly recommend Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado. Elitch's (as it's known locally), is about 100 years old, sits on 70 acres and still retains the flower, shrub and other plantings that prompted the 'Garden' part of the name. Lots of great places to eat, always new rides and great name enterntainment. It's in the northwest section of Denver and the Colorado Rocky Mountains in the distant background just sets it off!

Clanad - are there any theme parks in the DC area?

And lumination - can I come with you?

I'm tempted to state the obvious that Washington D.C. is the consumate 'theme park', but that's too snide... apologies.

Fact is there are some rather good nes near there...
1. Six Flags - http://dc.about.com/o...vities/a/SixFlags.htm

2. King's Dominion - http://dc.about.com/o...s/a/KingsDominion.htm

3. Hersheypark - Hershey, Pennsylvania - http://dc.about.com/o...rk-Visitors-Guide.htm (the kids love this one due to the relaitonship to Hershey Chocolate)...

If you want roller coasters Six Flags parks are the best
