My children and I go to the Great Escape weekly all summer long. They never get tired of going, and ask almost daily to go. Many rides for age 2 and up.

The shows are great and just what you need... More

I have a 4 year old and 1 year old and they had a great time at the Great Escape. It was clean and the employees were so friendly. My kids were so excited and the prices were reasonable. I would be happy to go again in the near future

There are a lot of attractions within the park, but plan to spend hundreds on admission, food and drink. They should stop adding new rides every couple of months and focus on maintaining the value for families.
