I went to six flags great adventure in New Jersey for spring break. Granted since it was opening day the tickets were cheap, however, I would rather spend 10 times what I spent on a one day pass for a theme park such as Disney, where I would get kind and friendly service then ever go back to Six Flags...

Been there 1 year ago in a pleasure trip to america,couldn't go to Disney at the time because our visit to Florida is still pending,decided to go here instead.Most of the thrill rides give you huge amount of thrills and is completely worth the admission,do expect atrocious price for food as always,seek out beer vendors who are not working for...

I like the park and love the season passes. The park has tons of rides for all age groups. The little ones have two separate areas with kiddie-type rides. Kids 7 - 14 or so still have plenty to enjoy, even if they are not tall enough for the thrill rides. Adults and teens love the coasters! Stand outs for... More

We had a great time riding the thrill rides at this park, Only detraction was that Kingda Ka kept breaking down. We bought season passes so hopefully I will be able to come back when the ride is working. There are many fun thrill rides at this park, definitely worth the stop. You are allowed to bring in frozen water... More

My kids wanted to visit the park. We decided to give it a try. The park was not very crowded which was nice. We bought season passes and so we were not in a hurry to get on all the rides and attractions. We started in the Safari park. It was amazing to be that close to animals. Giraffes came... More

Single day passes to almost any amusement park are expensive and not worth it to me. So if you live close enough to Jackson NJ, then the season pass to Six Flags is a reasonable expense for your spring, summer and fall entertainment. For just over $300 you can get the 3-park season pass for a family of four and... More

This is the 4th year my family of five has had season passes to Great Adventure. Being the largest of the Six Flags parks there is quite a bit of walking to get from one side of the park to the other, but I'd rather it bigger than smaller. If you plan on going on the weekend, expect lines since... More

If you live close enough the season pass is worth it for sure and then get 1 parking pass for the family! More
