It’s time to get your spooky on, because Six Flags Discovery Kingdom’s Fright Fest is back in town.

The highly-anticipated event took a year hiatus due to pandemic concerns, but guests can once again experience the theme park’s “Thrills by Day” and “Fright by Night” attractions from now until Oct. 31.

Guests under 12 can walk through Trick-or-Treat trails and animal shows during the day, and older guests can walk through six realistic haunted houses, monster rides in the dark and plenty of scary creatures lurking around the park once it’s nighttime.
