Your children might’ve already tried the tiny coasters in the Safari Kids section, but this is a real ride that takes you up and down and around turns, without any flips or loops though. When you get out of the safari ride, the Runaway Mine Train is right next door and it’s a great introductory roller coaster. The ride ends in the Australian section, there children will love watching the kangaroos relaxing in the sun or hopping around. The brown bears that follow them are a bit more static, although their ferocity is hidden behind cute lovable fur. The black bear area is also very fun because those lovable teddy bears tend to do many fun activities, like climbing, playing with their cubs, bathing and so on. The lions and tigers habitats are interesting and there’s a lot of cool information you’ll learn from he guide, although the fact that they’re behind big fences make it less “real” than the other animals that roam freely and would often approach the side of the truck. The giraffes near Camp Aventura are also fascinating, and during that stop the little ones can feed the giraffes from their hand. Along the way, the guides add a lot to the experience with their combination of information and funny things. Zebras and rhinos are also fun to watch, but the excitement starts when you get to the massive elephants. Ostriches will often wander near the truck. Most of the animals in the park are varieties of antelopes, but they’re indeed varied, and children will love spotting unusual colors or big antlers. You can take small toddlers on your lap, but adults will enjoy it as well! But at 5-6 years old is when kids start to really appreciate what they see, because they’re already familiar with those animals. By the time you’re back, you’ll already see an hour-long line. If you go outside of the summer break and can get there at opening, not only you avoid the big lines at the entrance but your wait for the Safari can be less than 15 minutes. We usually go right from the fountain and take the Skyway gondola to the Safari entrance. Your best bet is to arrive early, when the park opens, and head right there. The Safari off-Road Adventure is one of the top attractions of the park, but the lines can get extremely long. So if you’re wondering what to do with children of kindergarten / first grade age, here’s an overview of a great Six Flags day. By now, my sons are 5 and 7 and they want to try bigger and faster rides. This is a follow up of my previous review, geared towards visiting Great Adventure with 3-year olds. After years and years of going to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ to enjoy the thrills of its top roller coasters, I now started visiting with my young kids and discovering an entirely new aspect of the park. ![]()
