Last year’s Autism Day at Six Flags Great Adventure

In 2018, we made history with the first ever Autism Day at Six Flags Great Adventure. Over 5,000 people were given a day of worry-free sensory-friendly fun in one of the greatest theme parks in the country. Due to the overwhelming success and the feedback we heard from families, we’re back to bring another fun-filled day for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families.

“Tears of joy streaming down my face… just knowing that people care enough to do this for my son to have a ‘normal’ day at an amusement park. I am so thankful to the creators and sponsors of this project.”
