Rides ok. Do not pre buy food. Shutter drop at 6pm sharp. I paid over 20 dollars for a meal, got the order in in time, was refused double cheese burger at 19.99, forced to accept an 18 dollar cheese burger. No change. Do yourself a favor, pay cash. Or don't t bother at all. Staff were miserable. Seems likely a management problem. Best avoided.

Six flags discovery kingdom was a little bit of a disappointment. The park wasn't very clean and the food was super expensive. The animals are becoming fewer and fewer. The animal spaces are really small. It's nice to see the wolves and lions, but I wish they had more space for them. The park is more about the rides now. For hard-core riders, they will enjoy the park but not much else to do there.

The worst theme park experience iv ever had and been to many all over the world including orlando ans Paris Disney parks, universal parks, energylandia, many other UK and European parks even small parks such as lightwayer valley. This place was as an absolute disgrace. Staff have absolutely no idea what is going on, the majority I'm surprised couple even find the way to the toilet in the morning to clean there teeth. The rides are rusty and if you manage to get on 3 in a day your lucky with the unbelievably slow operations and unreal breakdowns. I struggle to understand how such a large company became so large with such poor parks. ABSOLUTLY SUKCS DONKEY SCHLONNG

"DO NOT GO TO SIX FLAGS DISCOVERY KINGDOM!!!!!"

Terrible experience at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom!! Still here in the park as I write this review. We spent $85 on premium flash passes and have only been on 2 & 1/2 rides in the 4 hours we’ve been here. Quickly got on Superman and Batman then half way through our Wonder Woman ride it broke down. Waited 45 min with premium flash pass for Monsoon Falls and 4 minutes till the line broke down. No accommodation from client relations manager Colleen nor Nina. Patrick at Flash Pass desk was unsympathetic and rude! Worst customer service ever!!! Got to Medusa and before we got on it broke down. This is absolutely awful! Spent $405 for 3 park tickets and 3 premium flash passes ( ultimate flash pass was $160, no thank you!!!)
