Last Saturday, our little family took an afternoon to visit the Six Flags Great Adventure Theme Park in Jackson, New Jersey. It was Emma’s first time to the park, or to any theme park for that matter, and it was also a first for my husband and I to go as a couple. Both of us recalled going there back in our high school days, but we did visit Hurricane Harbor together a few years ago. We were anticipating this day for a few weeks, and it was finally here.
Once there, we picked up our passes and then went on through the gates. We picked a great day for this. The sun was out but it was still a nice cool temperature outside. We headed for the water fountain where we spent a few minutes to study the park map. Then we took a quick celebrity photo:
After the wiggles, we took Emma on another few rides and visited a little play area for awhile. We had planned on visiting the Wild Safari, but the pollen was in full force and my eyes got so irritated that I could barely see. It was bad, so sadly we had to leave.
Overall, I feel the park was a little advanced for Emma. I’d like to see a few more attractions for the very young people. She’s only 16 months old, but we still very much enjoyed our trip, however short-lived it was!
If you plan on visiting the park more than twice, I highly recommend that you buy a season pass. It pays for itself in less than two visits (day passes are $49.99 each but a season pass is $79.99).
