Wow! Can't believe I didn't buy a season pass sooner. The hurricane harbor has multiple attractions great for family and kids. They also have many food options and beverage options for adults ++++ We went on a weekday as soon as they opened and had plenty of seating options. Park was very clean and well maintained. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back daily for the summer instead of the beach. read more

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor - Amusement Parks Near Me - Jackson Township, New Jersey

This place is nothing more than a tourist trap and a money pit. Day passes are **$45 per person**, and that doesn't even include the **$45 parking fee**. Food averages around **$20 per meal**, and a single ice cream costs **$12**--they even charge extra for sprinkles. The bathrooms were extremely dirty and constantly soaked. I understand it's a water park, but there's water everywhere with little effort to keep the facilities clean. There's also only **one changing room**, which creates long waits. If you need a locker, that's another extra charge. And the best part? They even charge you to rent a tube if you want to float down the lazy river. I'm honestly not sure what the $45 admission fee actually covers, because it seems like everything else costs extra. This was a very disappointing experience, and I definitely will not be returning. Also. The water. the wave pooll & the lazy river. read more

I went with 5 friends and we had a great time. I did end up scraping my elbow on one of the rides and had to go to the first aid station to get cleaned up and a bandaid. It was kind of difficult to find the first aid station. Other than that, my friends and I had a great time. I definitely recommend that six flags create more mocktails. My friend and I ended up just getting a sprite but we tried to order Shirley temples (Idk why we were in the mood for them) and were told by the attendant that they didn't make that. Also six flags, please do something about the long lines. It took almost an hour, maybe more for one of the rides we went on and the ride took 15 seconds to go down. read more

I like all the slides and its not as busy as years ago. And if you get the gold pass its so cheap. Idk why the bad reviews

We were looking to go to a waterpark and chose this ahead of other indoor water parks .. went on a weekday in summer and it was chaotic ! Though there are some good rides , it just takes forever to get into a ride ! Some rides are 1 hour wait times and it just doesn't make sense .. foood and drink is extremely expensive ! Like a drink costs about 15$ and a slice of pizza about 10$ .. they just aim to make money .. they don't have anything called "customer service".. half of the rides were closed too , making it worse ! They have very less floaters and make you rent one for 10-15$ .. have never been to a wave pool and not float on it . We were just walking around the full wave pool ! Ridiculous ! Luckily we have a yearly pass . I would never recommend this to anyone taking a day pass . It's not worth it . You could go to camelback or any other indoor water parks which is much better !! Parking is crazy too ! The only good thing here is the wave pool ... overall a very very average experience and it could be much better than a money making business ! Pls give more priority to customer service and customer happiness ! read more

Very nice slides and food. The decor is nice. Just make the park open longer. Very nice.

I really don't think the park is worth the price, it's long lines for the slides and a few were not up and running. The bathrooms are clean, but they need to skim the lazy river and wave pool. The extras are ridiculous (tube rental, etc) and so are the food prices. read more

This park is UNSAFE. I got into an accident on the Hurricane Mountains ride (orange slide) where pretty much 2 seconds into the ride, my tube flipped me over and I tumbled down the tunnel without a tube. I desperately scrambled to get back onto the tube as I was getting scraped and battered while continuing to roll down through the tunnel Right before the big drop at the end I finally managed to get back on the tube, who knows what would've happened if I didn't. I ended up with multiple scrapes, cuts, and bruises (see photos), and my foot was sprained. I don't even want to think about what would've happened if I didn't fight to get back onto my tube before the big drop at the end, probably would've been much worse Someone seriously needs to investigate the safety of this park, will try to find the relevant people to pass this info off to. Aside from that, the park is old, poorly run, and rides keep breaking. On the day I went, all 3 slides at The Falls as well as The Tornado were shut down. Those are all the top thrill rides so there's almost nothing left worth riding. Lines for the leftover rides were terrible (1.5 hours for that boring reef runner ride) Also people keep cutting in line and the staff really don't care read more

The last time I was here was about 9 years ago and a lot has changed. To start off, Parking is just a scam- $45 to park your car is pretty high for a water park. The food prices were also through the roof, but it was nice to be able to get mediocre food and a cocktail while at the park. The place was absolutely packed for a weekday in the beginning of June which I was pretty shocked about. My husband and I spent most of our day lounging in the lazy river working on our beginning of summer tan. It was cool to visit after many years of not visiting but I definitely don't see myself going back for awhile. read more

there are a lot of additional fees once you enter such as the floaties. A lot of rides were closed, which meant longer lines for the ones that were open. Thank you to Kerry and his team for handling an incident where several adults were jumping the line. They stepped in quickly and made sure things were taken care of professionally. However, it seems like the park's rules need to be updated, and there should definitely be more staff, especially around the longer water ride lines, to monitor for people trying to cut. It's disappointing to see people constantly jumping ahead, making the lines even longer and slower for everyone else. You'll be standing in line 1 hour or more just for a ride. We made the best of the time, but definitely won't return. It would be great if they had more staff keeping an eye on these situations to improve the overall experience. read more

Ehh... yep OK 3 stars was my experience yesterday. If I had paid full retail price of $65+ tax/fees I would have been pissed and this would have been a 1-2 star review, but for half appx $38 per ticket - I feel it was worth that experience. There were a number of slides closed - all of the ones that you can go down without a tube were closed. I really wish that outside of the park, or on their website on a daily basis - they had a digital monitor display showing all rides that are closed for the day. Outside of that - all the other tube rides we went on were a lot of fun - the highlight and favorite 100% being the Tornado. Would I go back? I think it just depends on the sale price and knowing what to expect, but I would never go for full price based on my experience. read more

I took my son and his friend to this place because of a "buy two, get one free" deal. While we were hoping for a fun day, the overall experience was disappointing. We were told we needed to upgrade to a Gold Pass to enter, which cost us an extra $50. That wasn't clearly explained at the time of purchase, which felt misleading. Another issue was that many of the rides were closed. One ride in particular looked like it was about to start, but just before my son and his friend could get on, they were told it wasn't working. This happened more than once, which was frustrating for the kids. We also bought the day-refill drink deal for them, but the service was not good. I asked for two of the refill cups, but was only given one. When my son went to refill his drink and asked for no ice, the staff filled the cup with so much ice that there was barely any room left for the actual drink. There were some fun parts, but between the unexpected fees, closed rides, and poor customer service, it wasn't the experience we were hoping for. read more

In all my years going to Great Adventure, I never went to Hurricane Harbor. So glad I made the choice to go! It's a lot bigger than it appears. There's a handful of slides (body, tube, family), a wave pool, regular pool and lazy river. When I went, lines were not long at all...and it was a hot summer day! Lifeguards helped move the lines efficiently and in a timely manner. Staff was friendly too! Definitely a fun water park to spend the day! read more

Dear Six Flags Management, I am writing to report a very upsetting and humiliating incident that happened during my visit to Six Flags Great Adventure (1 Six Flags Blvd, Jackson, NJ 08527) on June 18, 2025. I am a guest from Europe, and where I come from, such behavior by staff would be unthinkable -- this experience left me shocked and extremely disappointed. Before boarding The Joker ride, I placed my phone in a visible and open area just outside the fenced ride zone. An employee at the entrance -- a dark-skinned male (unfortunately I don't know his name) -- saw me place it there. I walked right past him, and he said absolutely nothing to warn me or explain that it was not allowed. Once I sat down and was fully strapped into the seat, unable to move, I saw the same employee looking around, then approaching my phone, grabbing it, and walking away. He never said a word to me -- not before, not after -- and gave no instructions about where my phone was or what I should do. Instead, he smiled mockingly. After the ride, I saw him standing with another employee, pointing at me and laughing openly. I was alone, I don't speak English well, and I had no way to defend myself or even ask for help. I had not done anything to deserve this -- I did not argue, complain, or break any rules. I felt humiliated and powerless. To make things worse, the Lost & Found office had already closed. I rely heavily on my phone for navigation. I got lost on my way home and barely made it back. I didn't know the area, and this caused me a great deal of stress and trouble. I had expected Six Flags employees to act with at least basic decency while on duty -- but instead I experienced deliberate mockery, and what felt like intentional humiliation. This was a deeply unprofessional and disrespectful situation. I kindly ask that you look into this incident and remind your staff that all guests -- especially vulnerable ones -- deserve to be treated with respect and care. read more

We love the fact this place stayed open until the end of September, maybe even October this year. It's hell-a hot and too many of these waterparks or amusement parks with water rides, close off their water section way too early in the year, especially being Memorial Day weekend and part of June can be too cold. Keep up the later in the year openings. read more

Hurricane Harbor is what you'd typically expect out of a water park. It's not extremely large. Lines are crazy long for the slides on weekends. Pools and attractions are packed with people. Food is expensive. We got in with a discounts but to pay $40 to park and full price to get in with the size of this place. I wouldn't say it's worth it. They don't have enough tubes for the lazy River so people just walk through them. Kids would love it. Adults ‍ read more

I loved going,but I live basically down the street...so it's not easy to complain.I was going late with my young son,just running out of the car in our suits and nothing else to run a few slides and lea e very last as to not feel like we were in a cattle chute , with droves of wet and hungry souls dreading getting to their cars for their long drive home or to clean up enough to head over to Six Flags.So,we would hop in the car, wet,sitting on our towels and drive around everyone, make it to Millstone Dairyqueen and Ahhhh... we had an exciting cool off and my son would take a nap and I would feel free. Those days are gone..but not forgotten. ( don't bring good flip flops,they will get stolen.im sorry. This was supposed to be a nice story. But we also went late to avoid bad behavior and having to eat there and pay for tubes...ect) read more

This was our first visit this year to Hurricane Harbor. There are multiple areas and each is well guarded. Park personnel are courteous and bathrooms are as clean as they can be in a pool environmen. Unfortunately, they do not enforce there own park policies. Women were not moderately dressed some downright indecent. If it's not going to be enforced why bother to make it policy. In addition there were no "purple cups" available for purchase anywhere in the park. Purple cups are a one time purchase with free refills for the rest of the season. The nice people at the concession stand graciously told us we could buy the "green cup" which at $16.00 are only good for that day. Scam? Not sure? Lastly, to find out there will no longer be a Christmas time event that has been a family tradition with 12 grandchildren. I hope the new owners get there act together so all of us who spend hard earned money can get our moneys worth and a completely enjoyable experienc. read more

great environment and the staff has been wonderful but it's crazy that I spend the amount of money I do on a season pass and can't even eat any real food here. I have a gluten allergy and there's not a single option besides GF cookie or brownie. I get its a water park but there are so many options out there and we pay a pretty penny for our passes each year. You would think they'd have a few allergy friendly options. read more

This was, by far, one of the absolute worst experiences I have ever had with my family at any kind of amusement park. First, the ticket prices are INSANE for what you get. We paid online, so our prices were $45 a person (no, they do not give lower prices for little kids under a certain age or seniors). Then, it's another $30 just to park your car. Once inside, we found out just about half the park attractions were closed. One kid area we were informed was closed "for the season", in the middle of summer. I had my doubts coming here because of all the bad reviews I read, but I was going into this optimistic. Big mistake. 80-90% of the staff are very young and sure do act it. My SEVEN year old missed the step on the landing to get onto a raft ride, and I guess the worker at the top didn't realize my husband was going down next and proceeded to laugh and make fun of my SEVEN year old daughter for tripping into the water. Oh, and he was also dropping casual F-bombs to his co-workers while working for everyone to hear. Very classy. Another worker was angrily throwing rafts and snatching them from little kids who were struggling to get out of rafts at the landing pool. So with eight of us, we spent over $400 for four hours of an over crowded wave pool, a lazy river that doesn't even have a strong moving current, half the park shut down, and the other open half with lines out the wazoo because everything else was closed. Oh, and they don't let you bring any food or drinks in, so if you plan on being there a while make sure you are prepared for the almost $20 little box of 3 chicken tenders and fries. Do yourself a favor. Save your money and go somewhere... anywhere... else. read more

This park is wildly understaffed. The lines for the slides are insanely long because they don't have enough staff manning the slides to get everyone down in a timely manner. They also don't use a system to tell them when people have made it to the bottom of the slide so the attendants are constantly having to run over and check if the slide is empty. They also don't have enough tubes/mats per slide so there is a line at the bottom waiting for mats when there isn't anyone on line for the slide. They closed the pool and the lazy river during the hottest part of the day. Parking was more than our tickets cost. Lockers were exorbitant. All this would be ok if we could have spent our day riding slides which should have been easy with the amount of people in the park. Nope. read more

I've been here a handful of times during the summer, and I've also attended Fright Fest a couple of times. When you come here, there's usually a ride or two that's out of order. The haunted houses are not that scary. It's a lot of aimless walking until you get hungry. The food options are alright but nothing to brag about. The employees are not the nicest or most helpful people. Fortunately I don't come here often so it's fine. I hope to experience the water park one day. read more

This place is crazy like I was tall enough for the tornado ride and they didn't let me on! And I payed for the etile pass and we had to wait 40 minutes for a ride! What is 76$ Dollars a month worth for? read more

Summary: summer fun, but lots of issues Despite growing up in the area and having a membership for a few years now, I never made it out to Hurricane Harbor until this past weekend. It's a waterpark with plenty of water slides and water rides, as well as a huge wave pool. Despite the fun in the sun, several glaring issues prevent this from getting a higher score. Parking: 4/5 - simple enough to enter and park. If you have a season pass or membership, your parking fee is included. Although I arrived midday on a weekend, there was plenty of parking to be found Crowds: 3/5 - look, it's a water park and you're likely going in the summer. Will it be crowded? Yes. But there are some things that the park should do to fix things. For example, on one specific ride the line was 30-45 mins. But the main holdup was the lack of toboggans available at the top. Could something be done to speed that portion up? Maybe, who knows. Other slides had 20-30 min waits. Seems reasonable. You might be able to speed things up by renting your own tube, but then you're forced to carry it around all over the park, so it's less than ideal. Value: 3/5 - of course everything inside the park will be pricey. The food is subpar and overpriced, so consider eating ahead of time. The small lockers are $16 and will last all day. Unless you bring a small waterproof pouch for your keys and phone, you're likely going to want to rent at least one locker per group. Pro tips: - If you have a waterproof watch (i.e. Apple watch, Galaxy Watch) and you store a credit card payment in your watch, you can actually pay at the tiki bars and food kiosks with just your watch (if buying beer, you'll need to show ID the first time, but then you'll get a wristband so you can leave your wallet in the locker for subsequent trips) - There's plenty of fast food just 1-2 mins before the park entrance (McDonalds, Burger King, Wawa) so take advantage and eat before you get to the park - Wear water shoes! Flip flops are not good enough for most rides since they'll fly off, so you'll either have to leave them at the base of the stairs, or you'll have to hold the flip flops in your hands as you're coming down the slides - If you're not a season pass member and don't want to buy a membership, the McDonald's just before the entrance to the park will sell you discounted tickets - just ask (the Burger King may do it as well) read more

Being generous with three stars, the areas for kids to play in are in disrepair with many of the pipes and waterfalls not working correctly. At least this time all of the attractions were open to include the lazy river, which is the only reason it got three instead of two stars. Many of the food places were shut and we moved from the closed quesadilla place, to Rita's that was out of custard... The dining pass doesn't cover many of the meals and many of the snacks but it has some generic food that is mostly edible. A season pass for 60 or 70 bucks if you're going to go multiple times might be worth it if you can show up on weekdays and not wait in long lines, but if this was the only park I had access to I would not be a platinum member. Relatively clean at least but it was a Thursday read more

I had really high hopes for a nice time here. The lines were very long and at the top there was general slowness due to not having enough tubes in rotation. So it seemed that one tube every minute could be used but what actually happened was more like one every 2 or 3 minutes. This seems to be unnecessary and a bit ridiculous when folks are trying to have fun. The lazy river had more people walking than tubing, again not enough tubes. No reason for this experience, folks are paying a good price for a days fun and it seems to me that a reasonable investment in extra tubes would likely cut wait times in half. All in all, we had a good time and would likely return, just wish they would step it up and look at the customer experience and the very minor and inexpensive changes necessary to drastically change that. read more

The facilties are dirty. Bandaids, chicken bones and hair in pools. 45 minute waits for slides. Not enough tube's, no place to sit, no shade and no room in pools. Management is rude when you ask questions. read more

I got a bone to pick with you Hurricane Harbor!! Where do I start? As a season pass holder and someone who lives relatively close I have the opportunity to come often and at off-peak hours. Hurricane Harbor closes much earlier than Great Adventure so obviously this place gets pretty crowded early on. I haven't found a good time to come here where you won't wait on a line. Another big problem, half the rides are always closed and the other half are understaffed. So now you have large crowds trying to squeeze in some waterpark fun before heading to the amusement park. Line cutting is out of control which leads back to the understaffing issue. You can put up a million signs with rules but if nobody enforces them what's the point. Unless you're looking to start a brawl on every damn line there isn't a lot you can do. The lazy river is straight up dangerous! They allow far to many people in here at once. They also let you in without a tube so I've witnessed plenty of tubeless children get mowed down but large adults in tubes. Outside food is not allowed in so you're stuck with their overpriced, gross food unless you hoof it back to your car. My biggest beef here though is how they pretty much force you to buy a flash pass or rent a tube (which you'll need to carry around with you and keep safe) just to get on some rides. If you don't, expect very long waits for the few rides that are open. read more

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor - 94° and multiple slides and this kids pool closed - Amusement Parks Near Me - Jackson Township, New Jersey

My family of 14 and I went to Hurricane Harbor on Wednesday, June 28th. 2024. My only complaint was the children's area for 42" and under. They allowed older kids approx. 13-16 year olds in the area to use the slides. Some of the kids were running around playing tag. One of the bigger kids ran into my 5 yr old granddaughter and knocked her down. They were also cutting the line and pushing the little ones out of the way. In my opinion if it's for 42" and under then the bigger kids shouldn't be allowed. They have the whole park to enjoy. I hope they correct this situation. read more

Love this place have been going here my whole life!!! Amazing slides, lazy river and wave pool is amazing!!!

Also in three visits I saw two severe drowning incidents. And when the parks busy there are no more life jackets. So when a kid ultimately dies, parents gonna come for everything they've got. read more

I enjoy this water park and it has a wide variety of amusements. My major complaint is that there aren't enough places to sit down or get a little bit of shade. Also, there are very few bathrooms in the park, and not enough signage. If you plan to visit the park often, it pays to get a season tube rental. The rental tubes are only usable on some of the rides. I enjoy the wave pool and the lazy river and spend most of my time in the park there. Don't miss them! read more

When you purchase the season pass, admission for their waterpark is included. The park operates different hours than the theme park and is open selective days for June (usually weekends from 10:30am to 6:30pm). They open all seven days a week in July and August. After Labor Day weekend, they officially closed for the year. The waterpark is great for school age kids and teenagers along with adults. It's not really geared towards toddlers (not for the price they charge for daily admissions and food anyway). They have daring water slides for those adventurous folks and there's also the wave pool and lazy river for folks who wants mild attractions. The food price is similar to any theme park and consists of burgers, pizzas, chicken strips and salads. I highly recommend that if you purchase the season pass, purchase the season dining and their season unlimited refills drink as well. A few visits will pay itself here. They do have changing rooms and shower stalls but is not meant for you to shower. The shower head is extra strong and you literally have to hold the shower button for water to come out. The shower stalls is just for rinsing your body. The bathroom stalls is located nearby but you'd have to walk out of the changing room. There's no toilet in the changing room and that's why it's called changing room, folks! I heard the ladies complaining why there's no toilet in the changing room,...really? In any case, my family and I have made great memories here and will continue to do so. The place should provide more shaded seated areas for customers. Coming here past 11am on the weekends are the worst! First, there are no seats available. Then, the crowd. I suggest if possible to come here on weekdays and when the park opens. read more

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor - Cabana Cove rentals @ hurricane harbor - Amusement Parks Near Me - Jackson Township, New Jersey

First n foremost their service is absolutely terrible they are extremely under staffed based on how many ppl enter their park. Lines are long for ever changing room, food,and the six waterslides they offer. I mean They don't even provide tubes for the Lazy River. Lol. We basically had to rent tubes for the rides as the tube lines are just as long as the ride. I also rented a Cabana online and to only find out they resold it when I got to the park. Then tried to accommodate me with beach chairs that didn't work either as they over booked them as well. Food is over priced as everything else in this park. As much money as they charge you would think u can at get better service. I recommend go somewhere else besides here. Btw park opens at 11am n closes at 5pm not enough time to get on the hour long lines. read more

What a joke this place is . You pay $75 to get in and if you want to ride the water slides you have to pay extra to rent a tube $10-$15. Why did I pay $75!!!! They put a FEW tubes out they you have to get in fights with people to get one ! So u stand in line to get a tube and have to wait in line to go in the ride ..Never again will I came here read more

Terrible and rude personal and unsanitary conditions. They will also hold you in line on the sun and would not let you step aside in a shadow, even if you are with small kids. read more

They need more staff and tube's. The slides were not worth the wait. I got off all 3 that I went on and said ok that was not worth the wait in line so didnt wait for any more. And they were the bigger ones. One line looked ok so we got in it and waited 2 hrs because ther were 6 rafts for 2 slides and the return belt was so slow. And no one at the bottom pushing the rafts to the return they waited for the current to slowly get them there.Pools very crowded. If I didn't have a season pass wouldn't even go. read more

This was the worst park ever. You need to pay extra to rent a tube if you want to actually get on rides otherwise you have to wait on a line to get a tube just to wait on another line ti get on the slide. Tried to rent a tube and of course they were sold out smh! All the non tube rides were closed! Just one big money grab for a terrible park. On top of that we had preferred parking which the parking attendant said they were only excepting priority parking which does not exist as there is only preferred and handicap which costs extra. Save your money and just go to the town pool! read more
