Six Flags Great Adventure Holiday In The Park #HolidayInThePark

December 7, 2015 by Diane Leave a Comment

Six Flags Great Adventure Holiday In The Park

This past weekend our family had the pleasure of checking out Holiday In The Park at Six Flags Great Adventure. This is a first for our New Jersey Six Flags and after a few minutes in the park we were already completely taken by the magical holiday atmosphere that surrounded our family. We already love Six Flags and visit every summer and fall. Now we can add winter to the mix. When you first enter the park you will be greeted by an incredible Christmas tree! Holiday Magic A Celebration of the Season is a spectacular light show on a 52-foot-tall tree in the heart of the park that dazzles nightly every 30 minutes through eye-popping effects and classic holiday music. The only show of its kind anywhere in the country.

There is so much to do at Six Flags Great Adventure during the Holiday in the Park! One great place to see a show and to warm up those chilly hands is inside at Jack Frost’s Magical Christmas where Jack Frost has an evil plot to steal Christmas is reversed by the warmth and magic of the holiday season in this live stage show filled with acrobatics, illusions and surprise guests. Fun!

Don’t miss Gingerbread Junction that features peppermint swirl-wrapped trees, dancing lights around the carousel pavilion, the Gumdrop Hop dance party and a giant gingerbread man towering above. Emm was thrilled to win a gigantic candy cane! It definitely made the night more fun. You can find out all about the roots of each holiday celebration if you walk down Joy to the World. It is a tranquil pathway of lit trees, luminaries and stained glass showcasing religious holidays from around the world. It’s really beautiful.

You will not want to miss the North Pole where guests are welcomed into the warmth of Santa’s home for a meet-and-greet and holiday photos by Kodak, plus kids can write letters to Santa, meet a reindeer and build a stuffed toy. There are even singing reindeer that are super adorable and plenty of affordable gifts, tees, and candies for you and the kids to enjoy. Poinsettia Peak and Skull Mountain roller coaster has been transformed into a mountain of dazzling red lights with a crimson beauty, the Poinsettia Princess, greeting guests nearby.

One of my favorite places in the park is Polar Point where you can find stunning, ice-blue trees twinkle with the illusion of falling snow up above, while the towering, larger-than-life Snow Queen meets guests below. Holiday Memories is a perfect part to see green, red and gold brighten this section filled with special photo opportunities like Mistletoe Moments, Wishing Tree and With Love giant greeting card, while nearby the Jingle Jammers sing holiday tunes by the fire pits as guests toast s’mores. Yum!

The sweet and savory tastes of the holiday season can be found throughout the park. Spiked egg nog, holiday-flavored coffee and hot chocolate, peppermint and mocha fudge, holiday beers, festive funnel cakes with peppermint eggnog and caramel pecan bacon toppings, specialty holiday platters of sliced turkey, smoked turkey leg and chicken platters with cranberry sauce, chili bowls, harvest salads and flatbreads and hot soups are available in various restaurants.

Holiday in the Park also features 30 thrilling rides such as SkyScreamer, Carousel, Big Wheel and Tea Cups. Children can enjoy 11 pint-sized thrills in Whimsical Wonderland. Coaster fans can challenge world-class rides like Nitro, BATMAN™: The Ride, THE GREEN LANTERN and SUPERMAN – Ultimate Flight, THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster and Poinsettia Peak. All rides and entertainment are weather permitting. Frontier Adventures including Safari Off Road Adventure, Bugs Bunny National Park, Golden Kingdom and Plaza del Carnaval do not operate during the festival. https://www.sixflags.com/

Mr. Patrelle’s body of work includes over 50 original ballets choreographed for Dances Patrelle, and spans an incredibly wide range of styles, from his beloved American Songbook collection, to such contemporary classics as Madame X,Macbeth and Rhapsody in Blue. Heralded by Lynn Garafola in Dance Magazine as a choreographer with “a personal vision…classical because it is rooted in metaphor and symbolic language [and] populist because of its legibility and broad cultural resonance,” Patrelle has also cultivated a long-time collaboration with composer Patrick Soluri, commissioning four original scores including 2009’s Murder at the Masque for dP’s 20th Anniversary. Known for attracting the great talent of each generation, Dances Patrelle is pleased to count ballet stars such as Marcelo Gomes, Jenifer Ringer, Donald Williams, Lourdes Lopez,andCynthia Gregory among its dancers. For 25 seasons, Dances Patrelle has tapped into the human experience, connecting intimately with the audience and continuously reinventing dramatic dance. In 2013, the company was named the resident ballet company of the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center.

“In Francis Patrelle’s ballets, the characters come alive. His choreography is full of heart and soul.” – Cynthia Gregory, Prima Ballerina

Nick’s Very First Day of Baseball teaches children about baseball using real coaching techniques. In this interactive storybook, kids will find hidden baseballs in the pictures, answer trivia questions, and there’s even a page for autographs from their favorite players. Fun, interactive and educational.

Nick’s Very First Day of Baseball was entertaining along with teaching my daughter about the actual rules of baseball. Em loved the questions at the end of the story!
