    It’s good, sort of feels smallish compared to some other parks I’ve been to. For example, I like the Arlington TX Six Flags Over Texas slightly more. Medusa is a great warm up ride, having a good blend of speed, smoothness, and g-forces. The Superman and Batman rides are a touch more intense, and both excel in different ways. Superman has the speed and a “flight” feel. Batman is crazy in all the different forces, and seems to fit Batman’s style. I was excited about trying Flash but… closed. Same for Wonder Woman, also down for maintenance once we got in line. Joker is the most bonkers, and turns it all up to 11. When we went, this one had the longest line by far. If you’re in the area and have the time… wow. Check it out Bathrooms were clean. The food at Johnny Rockets was actually good, the Burger and chicken strips didn’t task like park food :-)

    We went on a weekend :/ First mistake. But, we live close and ended up splurging for the season pass as after 2 uses it pays for itself. Next outing with be during the weekday. Lines were pretty terrible. When you start looking around the park more closely everything is covered in weeds and cobwebs. The overall appearance of the park is run down and dusty. Disney would never let their parks get so run down. Flow of parking was set up really well; although it was a haul to get to the park (you’ll definitely get your steps in just getting from the parking lot to the park!) They do offer bus service we just didn’t want to wait for it. You can bring in food and beverages we saw many strollers bringing in their own items. They also have refillable water stations so we will absolutely bring our water bottles next time. (We spent $30 in just water alone). Overall, it was a fun experience but we have some tips and tricks to have a more enjoyable experience next go.

    I understand Covid must have hit the economy of this park hard, but it really needs a makeover. It’s tired, dirty and needs a clean up and a lick of paint. A lot of attractions are still closed, food options are just junk food and long lines, nothing healthy available. The animals look depressed and enclosures look old and withered. We appreciated the staff that were working, you could tell they were getting by being short staffed (probably a reason so many attractions are closed) it’s an amazing location and could be a phenomenal experience, six flags just needs to invest back into it before it becomes really bad.

    The park isn't what it used to be, but they do have incredibly fast roller coasters and definitely worth the discounted ticket price of $40 during a weekday! I hope they bring back the Looney Tunes show for the kids and fix the broken rides. Some rides need more than 1 employee working it because the line moves really slow... like on the Gorilla Ride.... It's a great value for the family, for sure. Every kid would love coming here especially during summer break.

    This place have lots of potential. If they make everything new and put more rides and more of there rides to be active. I promise more people will come. This park is kinda sad. Most rides are not working and everything looks really old. Please bring the park back to live so more people can enjoy it. I hate to see parks likes this look like this. Although they do have some cool animals.

    The kids and I had lots of fun when we went during black history month last year in February 2022! The lines weren't too bad, and the price of the food was just a tad bit pricey but not too heavy on my pockets, lol! We got season tickets and can't wait to attend again for a family trip!

    There wasn’t any long lines that really needed the flash pass besides Superman which was my favorite ride there. It is cheaper to buy online that way you know what day is available including on blackout dates. We were able to feed sea lions with a purchase of food and see the other animals available

    I read multiple reviews and still decided to give the park a try. The three pictures is what I was looking for on the six flags website. Simple and helpful for the day. The app was helpful 80 percent of the time in regards to the wait times on the rides and locating the food shops. I wish there was a filter of what is open and closed that would be updated through out the day. The wait times on the different rides helped us navigate and plan the day out better. The four stars are for six flags having a lot of the closed rides working this weekend for Father’s Day. The shows were a good break from the adrenaline pumping rides. It is good to see the staff optimistic for the future of the park.

    This place is over priced. If you get there right when they open the lines aren’t too bad. But as the day goes on the lines get longer and slower. They shut down rides with people still in line and don’t say anything to anyone. The food is horribly over priced and very bad. They don’t have very many smaller easier rides for people or small kids who don’t like the big crazy ones. Some of their attractions were shut down. The animal shows were amazing though! Watching the dolphins and seals perform was a beautiful sight.

    The rides were a great experience! Most of the lines went by quick. The food was not good, neither was the food pass, purchasing a food pass is not worth it, you can't eat at all the food places, there's not much options to chose from that include the food pass.

    My family and I live in Idaho and visited Sacramento during Covid where lots of places were shutdown. The park wasn't in full operation. We Bought the tickets online. Two adults tickets and two for our kids. We tried to get there per the schedule on our tickets. For unknown reasons they weren't going by that schedule time on the tickets. We thought were trying to control crowd by giving out those schedules. I'm not sure why the tickets have those time slots if they're needed. We arrived late afternoon and they were done with almost all of the shows for the day. We were lucky to enjoy the dolphin show. We loved to watching the dolphins display so we decided to put it on our to do list anytime we visit Sacramento again. We were there again in 2022 . This time too we missed our favorite dolphin show. The did the dolphin show earlier that day were visited. We were sad that on two different occasions we never got to enjoy to the fullest. I recommend if you want to visit the place and get full benefits then plan to go early regardless of the time you see on your tickets so you don't miss some of the shows. Plant to spend the whole day there should in case you have to stay later to enjoy all the shows. I will suggest the management put the schedule of their shows for each day online so people can plan their trip accordingly. Aside the rough schedule,the kids enjoyed the seeing the marine kingdom

    Despite the outrageous prices of EVERYTHING nowadays we took our daughter here to spend a couple of days for her most recent birthday and there was something for the whole family. It was our toddler’s first time going and he LOVED IT. Our daughter had been before but was very hesitant about rides — but this time she got on all of the looney toon seaport rides AND took on most of the moderate thrill rides! As a parent it was very cool to watch her have so much fun and evolve. Season passes and dining passes made the experience more affordable and the new additions to the amusement park - more animals, excellent animal shows that were educational, and rides - made it a great place to have lots of fun. Plus the firework show was fantastic! We spent two full days there — one where the park was open later for the fire work show and one where it closed on time — from 11 am to closing and we STILL didn’t experience everything there was to see! We will definitely be going back and hope to try the new hurricane harbor also.

    We had a great time here! It's like sea world,but with more rides. My boys loved the wonder woman ride and batman ride. We also got to feed seals. The lines were not long wait times and it was all decorated for Christmas. Lots if gift shops and games.

    We had a fun first experience here during Oktoberfest and the kick off of Fright Fest. It took some time orient ourselves but we got lots of walking in and toured the entire park. No paper maps available just digital. Being the first night Fright fest haunted houses were a bit delayed and staff was confused about the one you had to pay extra for (which was a big disappointment after spending so much already) and we didn't get to see that one. The houses themselves were done well with some scare actors inside. Some lines moved quickly and some were very slow. The halloween park decorations were pretty good overall. Oktoberfest food kiosks were incredibly slow. One person taking orders, money AND getting the food while others were around but not helpful. And the next day we bought the sampler pass but when we came back in the evening everything was closed so we didn't get to use it. :( Overall the butterfly house and big coaster were our favorite, it was nice they were close together. We'd go back, you can do most all of it in a day.

    This was from October 2023 visit. You cannot walk in to purchase tickets. You have to purchase online. The weird thing is, I tried several times to get tickets online but the thing is, the website is not accepting my card. They should do something about this and either accept payments upfront (what the hell are the terminals there for?). But they did make consideration for us when I explained to them that the site does not accept my card. So ⭐️ for that. Some employees were lazy… some were constantly checking the time and saying outloud that she’ll be out in 2 hours. I mean, come on, it was not a busy day.

    Holiday in the Park was nice! I got on one ride in which the wait was very short and decided that I'm officially too old for amusement park rides. I just wanted to hurl. The rest of the my time was spent walking around looking at all the beautiful lights. The people dressed up as characters were an extra nice touch. I bought food to go including a yummy strawberry funnel cake!

    Make sure to download the six flags app before you plan your visit and see the schedule for Events time. The rides can be enjoyed anytime but if it’s your first time experience here, you definitely don’t want to miss out the Sea Lions shows and Dolfins shows. They made my day feeling thrilled despite of all walkings and tiresome.

    6/19 holiday, There were no lines at all and pretty quiet. The employees were pretty sparse and new. I should have brought a few credit cards especially since it's been a while since i've been here. $$$ with the high cost of food. Ha....

    Absolutely wonderful! The park has so many accommodations for people with special needs. My daughter had fractured her hip and can’t stand or walk for long periods, and my son has severe Tourette’s, making going out sometimes very difficult. The line for an ADA pass was long, but a worker heard my son getting louder and louder and helped us immediately. The workers at every ride were polite, friendly and were mostly all smiles! And very patient! I actually lost my ADA pass, but the worker could see my daughter was in a wheel chair and let them right on the ride while I got another pass. With the ADA pass they had little wait times which made it possible for us to go! If it wasn’t for this pass we wouldn’t be able to go. Most workers looked at the pass and let us right on! They didn’t make us feel uncomfortable for using the pass! Only downside… food is pretty horrible and overpriced and very long wait times…. But again the staff was very friendly. Only problem we had… I could see my daughter and she needed help, but where she was, was turned into an exit, from the last five minutes I was with her… He staff would not let me go up to help her… they made me walk a mile around to where she was… and actually laughed that I had to do that… so although most workers were amazing, these 2 women had no empathy or compassion. So six flags still has work to do with a few employees! Thank you for a great time six flags! Also after the dolphin show they let my son hang out five minutes and interact with the dolphins! My son rarely uses his words and all he could talk about when he got home, was how he got to train the dolphins… it really made his night and it will be an experience he will always remember! They were awesome with him. Also FYI, I couldn't find any family restrooms...My son is a wonder and needs a companion with him at all times, so he had to use the female restrooms...

    It was fun except that for it only being the 3rd week in July and so many rides closed for the season and/or just closed that day especially the newest ride just introduced this summer and it was closed is ridiculous. You pay money to go and ride the rides and experience everything the park has to offer especially during the summer when EVERY RIDE SHOULD BE OPEN. You just had 2 years to get everything in properly working order and time to spruce the place up a bit while cleaning and making it covid friendly. Seeing the dolphin show with huge chunks of paint missing from the cement stage area made it look old, dated and gave the feeling that if they don't take care of the facility with basic paint then how well are the animals taken care of?

    Great little theme park with a wide variety of things to do for a family. Definitely not as “thrill seeker” focused as Magic Mountain, and the map is absolutely a piece of trash. Follow the signs, the map will get you lost. Highlights are Medusa and Joker for Roller Coasters and the meal plans being excellent value, though they changed the system for 2022 and on the first Saturday of the season nobody knew how they worked. (This will probably get better though!) Definitely consider getting a meal plan with a bottomless soda (the soda bottle by itself is $18, a meal is $12+ and snacks are $6+) and make sure you activate your flash pass at the park services building BEFORE you enter the park like we did, walking right past it twice. Also, again remember to follow the signs, the map is garbage. Like the worst of any theme park in California. Okay

    It was a perfect Friday I definitely recommend to go on a weekday if you can! everything was working no rides were down for to long just keep an eye out if something needs to shut down for maintenance they do their best to turn it back on and we got on every ride! food is definitely very pricey but the Korean corn dogs were well worth it since it was my first time trying them, if we lived closer I’d definitely get the season pass but we live 3 hours away if you live like an hour away I’d say it’s worth it to come a few times a year. So yes I definitely recommend we had so much fun

    I like Six Flags, I'm not the biggest fan of roller coasters. But, there is more to do there than just that! They have a zoo with tons of interesting animals. They also have a reptile and butterfly exhibit to offer. If you're not a fan of roller coasters, they have smaller attractions you can ride on instead. It's a fun outing if you can gather some friends or family to go with!

    For a late autumn day, lanes were really long. In a whole day (10am-6pm) we rode 5 rollercoasters, otherwise, we were srtanding in the lanes. Some areas of the park were closed. The rides were fun, but waiting for 2 hours and then seeing rides going around half empty was really annoying. Introduce the single passenger fast line, and make the experience better for everyone.

  • 4/5 Gargi G. 8 months ago on Google
    It is quite an experience with all the crazy roller coasters and other exciting swings!!! But but but it’s crazily crowded on weekends! If you have pass, get skip the line pass in the beginning and try to get on Joker/ superman/ kong or any other coaster you wish!! Go and see the lions, cheetahs too!! Its all halloween feel already!!!

  • 5/5 Amanda W. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing theme park! Has a little but of everything: rides for all ages, animals like a zoo, animal shows, food, games!! If you plan to go more than 1 day, get the season pass. Season pass is reasonably priced for an amusement park & includes parking. Shorter lines during the week than on weekends. During summer, there are summer programs which go but they clear out early afternoon.

  • 5/5 Ana H. 1 year ago on Google
    Took our 4 year old granddaughter for her first trip to six flags. We had a blast, we are once again season pass holders. It has been at least 15 years since we have been to park. We went on Memorial Day, no long lines really. Can’t wait to take her back.

  • 4/5 Łukasz Wierzchnicki (. 11 months ago on Google
    Park is well maintained and clean, lots of rides for every age. Quite a few animal exhibits and reasonable food options will complement the thrills of highest rollercoasters in the park. Whether it's gut wrenching Joker or Flash pushing you hard into your seat your thrill hunger will be satisfied. While the park is nice, the app they're pushing to use is useless apart from the digital map part (which is overdue for a major overhaul anyway). The wait times are random and rarely reflect the actual queue length so be aware.

  • 4/5 Edwin S. 11 months ago on Google
    I know it's business strategy, but it does excuse to place a warning sign that only people with season pass can get original pricing while regular people get expensive products. Food was good enough, wishes it included drinks at least.
