Amusement Park

Six Flags Over Georgia

A theme park founded in 1967 on the western edge of Atlanta, with a season that starts in March, a fall event built into the day ticket and a water park that opens on its own date.

For younger kids

Six Flags Over Georgia runs as a seasonal park rather than a year-round one, and the date you pick decides most of what the day looks like. Tickets are bought for a chosen date, and the cheaper rates are online only, with a processing fee added on top of the listed price. On selected autumn dates the Fright Fest programme runs inside the ordinary day ticket, while access to the haunted mazes is a separate bundle bought with admission. Groups change the arithmetic: there is a lower per-person rate once you are fifteen or more, and a birthday package that wraps admission together with a meal, a drink and a snack for parties of eight and up. Inside the park, counter-service eating includes Tidal Wave Cafe with pizza, chicken strips, fries and burgers, and it takes the park’s dining plan if you have bought one. The trade-off is the calendar: Hurricane Harbor Atlanta, the water park alongside, opens later in the spring than the ride park, so an early-season visit is a dry-park visit.

Why kids will love it

Younger children are not an afterthought here. DC SUPER FRIENDS and BUGS BUNNY Boomtown are family areas with gentle spins and mini-coasters scaled for small riders, which means a family with a mixed spread of ages can split the day rather than spend it queueing for rides only half of them can board. For the older half, the paid Fast Lane upgrade exists precisely so that a day is spent riding instead of standing, and the autumn Fright Fest nights turn the same park into a different one after dark.
