New thrill for 2011: SkyScreamer - imagine swinging on a merry go round 23 Stories in the air! SkyScreamer is sure to live up to it's name!
Six Flags St. Louis is located in Eureka, MO, just west of St. Louis. Since opening in 1971 under the name Six Flags Over Mid-America, the park has proven to be a very popular weekend destination for midwestern families.
Six Flags St. Louis consists of 8 themed areas and a water park (included with admission). Included in the themed areas is a children's section based on Looney Tunes characters, named Bugs Bunny National Park. Although known for their thrilling adult rides, Six Flags St. Louis has plenty to offer for children in the form of 22 rides and attractions. Just as some adult rides have minimum height requirements, some "kiddie" rides have maximum height requirements (sorry mom and dad!). Additional child-friendly rides are available in the water park section (appropriate attire required, open May 28 - Labor Day).
