Great Escape is an amusement and water park owned and operated by Six Flags Entertainment Corp. It is located approximately 60 miles (97 km) north of Albany, in Queensbury, New York.

get the gold membership you receive free season parking . Also good to get is the season dinner plan it's worth it. Every time you visit the park you get lunch and dinner .

John Mangan

Families - invest in the refillable drink cups. Note that note every station has the same drinks (example, only some carry Powerade). Buy a pizza and two breadstick orders for lunch (~$24) @ Primos.

Gina Schwarz

Buy the drink bottles at the main gate and drink all day for free with the wrist band! Best deal. Go to the Alpine House for great food with sizes worth your money!

Jessica Speziale

Love this place! Rides are great! Foods expensive though! Stay away from the pizza . An employee had recommended the chicken fingers as the only thing to eat there. That's all we get now!

Biz Traveldude

A great little park , beautiful summer climate and great towns on both sides, Queensbury and Lake George.

Trish Florentine

Fun for all !! Nice water park too. Slides for 6+ and splash pirate ship for young kids.

Great Time Apps

Plan your trip with the unofficial video ride guide for Six Flags Great Escape on iPhone and iPad. $1.99. Worth it. Read more

Touqir Aalam

A place where kids and adult enjoy alike. A nice place for family day out.

Lonny Bombard

The problem is it is so expensive !! We took school children(5th grd) here for a class field trip and travelled almost 3hrs on 3 school buses to get to the park . That being said I won't be going back.

Emily McGuire

Enter code HD13 for $26.99 tix. Print your tix and go any day. Use the code ASAP as the code may expire soon. Once you have printed your tix they will be good until Sep for any day you wish.

Megan Stec Mason

Get the $13 unlimited refill reusable six flags cup. Totally worth it in this heat. Only bought one for the whole family because we can refill as many times as we want.

Nice clean park , very short wait for all the rides, even the premier such as the comet , 10 minutes or less. Enjoyable park for everyone. RIDE THE COMET AND ENJOY!!!!

Dan

Come only if you have a small kid. I am too old to even stand in the queue. If there's no one waiting, try to ask the staff to pause the Ferris wheel for you and take pictures at the top.

RockinRealtor

Get the Fast Pass it is so worth it.

Robbin Manuel

Food vouchers for the season is the way to go with worrying how to feed the crew!

Jennifer Winters

The Great Escape used to be fun. Prices are stupid high, not paying $15 for a fast pass , when there's 3 maybe 4 rides that have a line too use it on. Greedy chair hoarders in splash water kingdom.

Biz Traveldude

Great waterpark! Lots of seating, especially on a weekday.

Sharecare

The dog days of summer are approaching which means more water time fun! Be prepared if an emergency arises with this FREE app. Read more

Top three rides: Sasquatch, Comet and Raging River !

Nik Gruswitz

Good rides. Love the Comet . Weird racist prizes.

Nik Gruswitz

Why do people think it's ok to dress up like other races? http://youtu.be/LxQq8HTtb4A

Bri Stein

So much fun. Has fireworks every Independence Day

Six Flags

Admission to Splashwater Kingdom is free with admission!

Liz Stropole

coaster selection is disappointing and the park layout is backwards. basically if you want a water park and places to shop, then this is the place for you. not for the avid coaster rider.

Autumn Lokerson

The food is INSANELY priced and totally not worth it. Pack a picnic lunch and take a break halfway through your day, you'll save a ton of $$ and still have fun!

Freddie Esposito

It was my first time there since it was StoryTown which was decades ago. I have to say I was not impressed and felt the outside services such as food and drinks was below average and very expensive .

Zachary Kappel

Bring your Russian translation manual or don't plan in communicating with park staff - none are American, Stalin would be proud!

Julie Carpenter

It was a nice time....but my niece who looks little was given a hard time by a worker who thought she was going in the park by herself not very happy about it!!

Phil D

Park closed without notification kids disappointed waiting more than 1 1/2 hrs. Useless help at food courts Inexcusable wait for rides letting empty cars go and fast pass people take the front seats.

Dave Druyan

Don't forget a shirt if you plan on riding the cliff hanger

Korey McCoy

I hate to complain, but when a company deserves it they should hear about it. Ultimately, customer service dealing with a season pass issue is so horrible I can't even begin to start.

Michael Parks

October is frightfest - watch out for guys wielding chainsaws! You may wish to leave small children at home through oct!

Nattawat Apibal

This place could use management help....people here work slower than McDonald's....lines take forever for everything...from rides to food lines . Driving me nuts .

Mari

Get the fast pass ! It's totally worth it. Think about the cost benefit analysis.

Ryan Martin

Nice they have craft beers ,food is decent but expensive .and $4 for a water is rediculous.

Carmalina Rossi-Hayden

Use the bathrooms at the top of the hill by Cinderella

Andrew Bissett

The Sky Coaster is a MUST!

Amy Squier

Not much to do here. Only three roller coasters . For a six flags they need to get it together or lower the price, not worth $55. Darien Lake is a lot better.

Alec Carballo

When it rains bring swim suit lol soooo much fun no lines at all. :-)

C McP

Not everything comes with the meal plan big issue with lack of truth in advertising

Samuel-F Parent

Very clean park , but mostly geared towards a younger crowd.

Meg2thehan

Head to The Great Escape for Oktoberfest

tuahyudistira

great place..feel it...

Michael Parks

The food here is OBSCENELY expensive . Avoid at all costs and just eat before/after you go (if you have a strong stomach!)

Ryan Morash

Bring a helmet on the Screamin' Demon!
