Six Flags Great Adventure Donates 1,200+ Tickets to Help NJ Kids Enjoy Fall and Holiday Fun
A day at an amusement park can be one of those childhood memories that sticks around for years. But for many families, the cost of admission puts that experience out of reach. Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, is helping change that with a donation of more than 1,200 tickets through nonprofit partner Tickets for Kids.
According to the park’s October 19 announcement, the tickets are valued at more than $80,000 and will help children and families facing financial barriers experience the park’s fall and holiday attractions.
Making fall and holiday traditions more accessible
The donated admission tickets are intended for children and families supported by community organizations, foster care programs, and youth-focused nonprofits. Experiences may include family rides, seasonal entertainment, Fright Fest, Kids Boo Fest, and the upcoming Holiday in the Park season.
“Fall and the holiday season are all about making memories with the people who matter most,” said Michael Fehnel, Park President of Six Flags Great Adventure. He added that the partnership is meant to make those experiences possible for children and families who might not otherwise have the chance to visit.
And here’s an important detail: the initial allotment has already been fully distributed to participating groups, according to Tickets for Kids. This announcement isn’t a public offer to claim free tickets.
What is Tickets for Kids?
Tickets for Kids Charities works with youth-serving organizations to connect children and families with experiences such as museums, concerts, sports, science centers, zoos, and other recreational activities. The goal is to help more kids participate in the experiences that make childhood memorable, regardless of financial circumstances.
“These tickets provide children and families with opportunities to spend quality time together, create lasting memories and enjoy experiences they may not otherwise have access to,” said Brandice E. Miller, Executive Director of Tickets for Kids.
More than a day at the park
There’s a lot to be said for a day when kids can simply be kids—riding something for the first time, laughing with friends, and making memories with their families. A partnership like this makes those moments possible for more children in our region.
