Arctic Adventure at Six Flags Great America

As usual, Six Flags Great America is open for the holidays, though you won't be able to ride any of its biggest roller coasters during your visit. This year, World of Illumination is stringing up more than one million colorful lights and hundreds of animated displays to create a drive-through Arctic Adventure. Using state-of-the-art technology, the experience will take families on a trek filled with tundra-bound animals, larger-than-life trees and a mesmerizing snowflake tunnel, with lights that are also synced to holiday tunes. On select dates, guests can step into the park afterwards to enjoy the Carousel Lights & Market, where they’ll find holiday treats, photo ops and more. Tickets start at $40 for one vehicle.
