My FavoritesInformation
Two great parks. One destination! Six Flags Great America is fun for the whole family.
With 16 heart-pounding roller coasters, a water park with over 30 soaking water rides, spectacular shows, family rides and big pint-sized fun for the kids with over 30 rides in our children’s areas. Try out Maxx Force, the new ride coming soon in 2019 that will sport the tallest and fastest double inversion coaster! Also enjoy Hurricane Harbor and Riptide Bay, the water park that boasts more slides and attractions. Catch a wave at the only place to surf on Lake Michigan.
