Pet-Friendly Six Flags Holiday Drive-Thru Welcomes Furry Friends – and Tortoises – for Two Additional Weeks of Fun

 

Unique Theme Park Drive-Thru Light Show Extended for a Second Time with Safe,

Socially Distant Entertainment Jan. 4 to 17

  

Jackson, NJ — December 30, 2020 — Dogs, cats, and even a tortoise made the trip through more than a million dazzling lights at Six Flags Great Adventure’s new winter drive-thru spectacular, Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru Experience. Now, pet parents have two additional weeks Jan. 4 through 17 to enjoy this pet-friendly activity featuring festive holiday theming and seasonal music favorites. While the thrill of the park’s iconic roller coasters, toasty fire pits, and delicious holiday treats operate daily through Jan. 3, this Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru Experience was extended for the second time due to popular demand, and provides guests the unique opportunity to drive through the 140-acre theme park in their own vehicles.

 

“Keeping pets warm and dry is important during these cold winter months. If you’re looking for a fun and safe activity that includes the companionship of your beloved pet, the entire family can drive through the theme park together,” said Six Flags Veterinarian Dr. Ken Keiffer.

 

“We loved being able to enjoy the lights with our dogs from the warmth of our car. Both of our dogs were mesmerized, one dog propped up on each of our laps gazing out the window,” said Six Flags guest AJ Nicholas of dogs Tucker and Leo. “Whenever we’re able to include our dogs in our activities, we jump at the opportunity, and so do they.”

 

“She loved it, as you can see,” said Six Flags guest Tammy Pohero of her pup, Zoey.

 

As one of the largest holiday drive-through events in the Northeast and the only one inside a theme park, the Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru Experience includes 12 immersive, distinctly different areas throughout the 140-acre theme park filled with an exquisite palette of colorful twinkling lights, live entertainment, and festive music. Guests enjoy distanced greetings from beloved holiday characters decked out for the holidays, popular iconic holiday decorations, a drive-by featuring Santa’s elves, a custom soundtrack available for streaming from the park’s website, and much more.

 

The Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru Experience debuted Nov. 30 and ran Monday through Thursday evenings through Dec. 17. Due to overwhelming demand, the season was extended twice to include Jan. 4 through 17, 2021. All guests are required to make a reservations at www.sixflags.com/reserve. Admission tickets for this first-ever event are available on a first come, first served basis and are sold per person for each night. Pets are free. Admission is also free with active Memberships and Season Passes, and reservations are required. Ticket sales are not available at the gate. The event and its live entertainment are weather permitting.

 

The safety of guests and team members is always Six Flags’ top priority. The new Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru Experience offers a contactless experience that follows CDC, state, and county health and safety guidelines. To prevent overcrowding and provide proper social distancing, a limited number of cars are allowed each night. 

 

Event requirements include use of masks if windows are down, no smoking, littering, stopping, or exiting vehicles. Due to the limited size of certain areas and terrain within the theme park, only cars, SUVs, vans, and pick-up trucks are permitted. No busses, RVs, commercial vehicles, dually pick-up trucks, trailers, or motorcycles will be allowed.  A maximum speed of three mph, and maintaining a safe distance between cars, is strictly enforced. 

 

As part of Six Flags’ comprehensive safety procedures, all employees are required to wear masks and are temperature-checked and health-screened each day. Gloves are worn as appropriate, per guidelines. Six Flags encourages guests to plan accordingly for restroom breaks, gasoline, and food. Portable restrooms are available at the entrance and exit. For the full Holiday in the Park experience, including world-class thrill rides, festive treats, holiday shopping, fire pits, live entertainment and more, guests are encouraged to plan their visit through Jan. 3, 2021.
