Fright Fest Can Be Kid Friendly
Disclaimer: I was not compensate for this post. I was invited to a press day. All opinions are my own.
Visiting Six Flags Great Adventure is always fun for the whole family even when Fright Fest (September 24-October 31) rolls around! The Thrills by Day and Fright by Night offersa variety of age-appropriate not-so-scary fun for the youngest park visitor!
During the day there are done fun, interactive dance parties at the Spooktacular Street Party or you can check out the Just My Rottin’ Luck magic show staring Raoul the Duke of Deception. There are lots of rides and activities for little ones to enjoy and get into the Halloween spirit!
The pumpkin patch out front provide ps the perfect backdrop for your Halloween pictures and the Trick-Or-Treat Trail is perfect for children under 12 to explore, collect treats and even meet some of their favorite characters for more fun photo opps!
Beware for those who stay after 6pm because the Fright by Night festivities begin when swarms of decaying zombies, crooked clowns, freaks of nature and monsters of the night emerge in The Awakening parade, and then Dr. Fright unleashes these horrors into the streets. As the night creeps on, guests can enjoy one of three new “Monstertainment” shows, a new haunted maze, and fresh takes on park classics.
