Don’t waste your money paying for VIP experience at Darrien Lake
We came here for the Chris Stapleton concert and bought the vip experience
From start to finish it was abysmal
First of all after walking through a large part of the park to get to the concert venue you then get to walk even further to a hot poorly ventilated tent with mouse size shots of whisky tasting( if that’s your thing) Some pork on a bun or the measliest chicken kebabs with mostly pineapple and tomato and a tiny piece of chicken
You get to handle some of the musicians guitars but you are not allowed to play the guitar
Some small tables for putting your paid drinks on covered in garbage
So underwhelming

Six Flags Darien Lake is a great amusement park with tons of rides and activities. The food options are great as well. The only thing I found annoying was that all the rides were old which made them more rackety and each roller coaster only had one train which made the lines longer than they should have been. Superman and Predator were the best rides.

We really enjoyed the rides, the food options and the easily walkable park layout. We bought tickets online and the one day food pass, good value and perfect for us.

We were pleasantly surprised… been to over 15 parks over two years and not expecting much based on the reviews but it’s a solid park for what it is. It is not in a league with the major players but that’s okay. Some of the rides are really good. Food at the anchor was good and prices in line with other parks. Nice looking water park. Ticket prices were awesome. Customer service was great. No ride lines which makes it more enjoyable than our home park CW. Rides were operating which is always a bonus. It’s close enough that we will go again… cons no merchandise for coasters

Price gauging at its finest. This place makes Vegas look cheap (but there you get quality for the price). Start with parking at 25 dollars, 2 tickets were 125 dollars (don’t get them at the gate or pay 75 dollars each). 2 cheeseburgers and fries were 50 bucks and not that good, ordered onion rings with it and they legit gave you two. Employees seem lost in their own world going thru the motions. Rides closed down such as the lazy River. Constant lines for everything. The place I grew up with and worked at years ago has gone WAY downhill. Avoid at all costs

It's all about the money, isn't it ??!! I remember taking my son here about 20 years ago and it was pretty good and fun. Went today with my family and 5 year old granddaughter. First ripoff is $25 to park ! What a joke. Tickets at the ticket booth were like $76 !!! Thank goodness for my Veteran discount. After going on some rides that were very short in duration, we headed over to the water park. But wait ! That'll be another $10 to get into that when it used to be included with your admission ticket. Want to rent a tiny locker to pit something in ? Another $12. Want to rent a tube ? That's another $12 please. Want to enjoy a beer ? $13.99 please ! This place is an absolute joke and a total rip-off. Rides are beat up, look like they haven't been maintained in forever. Just a horrible excuse for an amusement park. Save your hard earned money and go somewhere else. This company should be ashamed of the total lack of value here. Just a rundown dump....
