Halloween Fun At Six Flags Great Adventure-Thrills By Day Fright By Night!!

 

Every family has traditions right? One of our Halloween traditions here is to visit Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. Less than two hours from NYC makes it a great day trip and a great way to have some Halloween fun! Since our family has kids of all ages it’s great to know we can go to Six Flags and enjoy no scare fun all day and then total scare fun at night. Recently we packed up the fam and headed down the NJTP to exit 7A! Of course Emily was dressed to the nines in her Halloween witch costume and ready to hit the trick-or-treat trail. It was our first stop. The trick-or-treat trail is so adorable. The treat bags are prefilled so you can spend time with the characters that line the trail. Besides the Trick-or-Treat Trail we had some fun with Bad Bob the Bone Butcher, The Spooky Kooky Magic Show, Just My Rottin’ Luck and more!

Our day was filled with non scare Halloween fun and rides galore. All the rides are open during the Halloween dates so you can spend the day riding all of your favorites. Since we missed the safari ride during our summer visit we decided to check it out. We have never gone to it during Fall and it was really a different experience. The animals were very active and there were babies everywhere. If you do go on the Safari be sure to feed the giraffes. There is an extra charge of $6.00 a person and well worth it. One person can usually accompany the kids on the feeding as long as it is not overcrowded. Our entire family enjoyed the experience. Besides the giraffes there are other hands on opps at the stop. The giant anteater entertained us by coming out and investigating everything in his surroundings. There were snakes to touch and more. It you want an up close animal experience Six Flags Safari has it waiting for you. You also have the option to stay on the safari vehicle if you do not want to stop and just want to continue on.

Now, if scares are not your thing I strongly suggest to RRRRUNNNN to the exit gate before 6pm!! Although there are scare free zones where you can wait and not worry about being spooked you have to securely be in those zones by 6pm. If you LOVE FRIGHTS- Oh yeah, this is the place for you! If you are not in a scare free zone you are fair game so be warned. New Big Top Terror 3-D clown maze, Blood Shed terror trail, Demon District scare zone and the return of Hypnosteria and Doc Swan’s Sideshow of Oddities! Plus favorites like Dead Man’s Party, Voodoo Island, Asylum, The Manor, Wasteland and more! Check out more details about #FrightFest in our other post here: 3decades3kids.net/frightfest

Halloween Fun and Scares At Dorney Park! Snoopy and Haunt- Something For Everyone.

Looking for a great Halloween trip with fun and fright for the whole family? Look no further than Dorney Park! With brand new experiences at Snoopy’s Halloween Party for the young and young at heart as well as great and terrifying new additions to Halloween Haunt, Dorney Park is the place to be this Halloween! Our family is always on the go and could not wait to check out all things Halloween at Dorney Park. Since my kids vary in age we need a place to go that features both kids’ non-scare activities and down right scary for the older ones! We found both at Dorney Park.

The family fun at Dorney Park begins during the day, when Snoopy’s Halloween Party is in full swing. Located in Wildwater Cove, Snoopy’s Halloween Party is home to classic favorites for kids like Linus’ Pumpkin Patch and the newly-expanded Trick or Treat Street, but also a host of new entertainment and spooky fun! This year’s new additions include Franklin’s Monster Mania– which is home to a collection of activities like a foam play area and a kids-only monster funhouse– and a Character Breakfast Bash every Sunday with your favorite Peanuts characters! The Character Breakfast Bash in particular is an awesome addition to any scare-free trip to Dorney Park, offering the opportunity to share a delicious Halloween breakfast with classic characters like Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and more! It also comes with early entry to Snoopy’s Halloween Party (granting your little ones extra ride time) and a Souvenir Character Photo with every ticket. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Halloween with your family!
