Six Flags Great Adventure Description
Call it a big, fat slice of paradise for any kid in your family. The only problem with Six Flags Great Adventure is deciding whether to start your day catching your breath on a pulse-pounding roller coaster, chilling out on one of the cool water rides, or getting the lay of the land from the park's 150-foot Big Wheel ride or Dream Street Skyway (where you travel over the park from one side to the other). Stunts, music, marine life, and interactive shows offer a fun way to rest for a bit.
Kid Tips
Babies: The park has air-conditioned stations with massage chairs for tired parents.
Toddlers & Pre-K: Wiggles World and Bugs Bunny Land are two of the kiddie areas that will keep your tots occupied.
School-Age Kids: The park has rides for every age -- plus, you might run into Batman, Robin, Superman, or Wonder Woman walking around.
Pre-Teens & Teens: Two words: Kingda Ka. At 45 stories high and traveling from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, it's the tallest, fastest roller coaster on earth. Wahoo!
Planning Notes
- Pack some food in the car. Park refreshments are pricey, but you can save some cash by packing a picnic lunch. You can't bring it into the park, so use a cooler and be sure to get your hand stamped on the way in.
- Wear comfy shoes. Most of the park is flat, but you're still going to do a fair bit of trekking around, so wear good walking shoes.
- Avoid summer weekends. The park is usually packed on Saturdays and Sundays. If you have the option of going on a weekday, lines will be much shorter.
