A fabulous, well organised trip. Easy to find, instructions clear and would highly recommend. Just a tip, make sure you plan time to eat in between both trips if you are doing them in the same day.

It was an incredible visit—we got to see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Prison up close. It was an unforgettable experience that we'll always remember.

This was so cool loved all of it. My grandson lost his tooth during one of the shows and Eric came and took us to the staff only bathroom so he could wash up 😁

​If you are looking for a theme park that successfully pairs heart-pounding adrenaline with a genuinely lovely, refreshing environment, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California hits the sweet spot. Unlike typical concrete-heavy amusement parks, this spot delivers a hybrid "part-zoo, part-thrill-capital" experience that makes for a deeply satisfying day out
