Frightful Fun at Six Flags Great Adventure Fright Fest

We were invited to Fright Fest at Six Flags Great Adventure and had an incredible time enjoying all of the spooky and frightful fun. There is so much happening that it is hard to fit it all into one visit. It's the perfect way to pair up exhilarating seasonal adventures with time on some of our favorite amusement rides throughout the park.

We love the terrifying haunted houses inside the park! There are now six haunted houses available to purchase for the ultimate scare: Blood Shed, Reflections of the Dead, Fears, The Manor, Aftermath, and Big Top Terror: Forgotten Carnival 3D. How brave are you? We braved them all and had a blast!

The Awakening of the ghouls dispersed them throughout the park for surprise scares, and we caught them as they were unleashed. Be very careful if you cross their path!

We highly recommend catching the Blood Drums show during your visit, too. It was exciting and thoroughly enjoyable.

If you have young children, there is plenty of fun awaiting them during the daytime Kids Boo Fest. For those with older kids and who love a good scare, the shows and haunted houses make for a delightful way to celebrate Halloween season with the family!
