Fright Fest Returns to Six Flags Great Adventure in 2025
Fans of Halloween-themed entertainment are in for a treat as Fright Fest, the annual spooky celebration at Six Flags Great Adventure, is set to return this year. The event will kick off on September 12 and run through November 2, offering an immersive experience filled with terror and excitement.
Fright Fest will take place on select nights, starting at 7 p.m. and continuing until the park closes. Visitors can expect a variety of Halloween-themed attractions, including haunted mazes, sinister scare zones, live shows, and special food and drink options. Most of these experiences are included with regular park admission, but some attractions require additional purchases.
One of the highlights of Fright Fest is the Haunted Mazes, which offer an extra layer of fear for those seeking a more intense experience. These mazes come with their own unique themes and stories, each designed to push the limits of bravery.
