Six Flags Great Adventure is New Jersey’s largest theme park. It’s a full day of fun and you can even make an entire weekend out of it. You’ll find rides for all ages, a water park, live entertainment, and a new drive-through safari park! The park has been a favorite since 1974 and has had a safari for some time but it was revamped a few years back and it’s better than ever.

The safari at Six Flags is a surreal experience that will transport you out of New Jersey and into a world with giraffes, rhinos, tigers, elephants, lions and more. You’ll find 1,200 animals from six continents.
