While most California theme parks are looking at the Big Game of attracting summer crowds to new rides and attractions, several are doing something special for Memorial Day remembrances.

SeeCalifornia.com scoured web pages and press info (and maybe missed an event,) but here are some meaningful, yet fun Memorial Weekend activities.
