My family bought a season pass. I was disappointed to know that they took out the Ferris Wheel and the swing ride that was replaced with a picnic table area that no one uses. There aren't very many… Full review by Sunshine328951

Extremely run down version of the place I adored 25 years ago. Half of the rides were closed due to lack of staffing. That says a lot about the area, no local employees anymore, all from overseas on … Full review by Aaron M

The Great Escape used to be the place to go back in the 80's and 90's. Ever since Six Flags bought it, it has gone downhill and is overpriced. To make it worth it, I would suggest buying a season pas… Full review by Morgs623

Q:
How is this park for kids under 5?

I think this park should be converted to a park for only small children. Its a smaller park. It is a very nice park for children. Not so many bigger rides for the big kids.

Q:
We are looking to go to the main theme park in July for one day only but online tickets are not on sale yet. Does anyone know what the typical daily rate is if you buy online in advance ? The six flags website suggests the gate price is $66 plus tax but it does say we can save money by buying online. Thanks for any help !

My 2016, 2018 and 2019 Six Flags Season Passes each cost around $65. This park is the lowest rated in the area compared to other Six Flags parks. I'd recommend trying to get to at least a couple of parks and buy a season pass. This park alone isn't worth the cost of one day passes and parking alone is $20-25 per park but almost always free with a season pass. Our home park is SF Great Adventure, but last year we also visited SF America, SF Darien Lake, SF Great Escape and SF New England. A great value for $65. I can also recommend the food and drink passes. We did have a good time at Great Escape, though we went late Summer on a Sunday and we mostly wanted the coaster credits.
