Wanderlust World Wanderlust World It is important to call ahead or go online for general information before planning your trip. You can purchase tickets at www.sixflags.com/discoverykingdom/tickets/index.aspx or call 707-643-6722. It's a good idea to find out what kind of special events are taking place before you go and decide which attractions you and your family want to see the most. It is also advisable to plan your trip when the crowds are lightest. During the summer, weekdays are less crowded than weekends. April, May, September and October are the least crowded. It is also important to bring a jacket to the park because the mornings and the evenings can get quite chilly.
If you are a smoker, it is important to note that smoking is not permitted at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. However, there are smoking zones scattered throughout the park. You can learn where these are by consulting a map. A good strategy is also coordinating a meeting place in the park if you and your family get separated. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom''s website recommends the Dolphin Fountain in the Main Plaza. You can rent a stroller or wheelchair there, but arrive early since they are first come first serve.
Upon arriving, review the park's map to familiarize yourself with the layout and target the things you want to do most. Also, get a show schedule at the Explorer's Outpost and decide what shows you want to see that day. When you plan which rides you want to experience, pick the ones that are farthest away from the main entrance and then work your way back. You may also want to ride your favorite attractions first or after 5 pm when peak attendance has waned. Another time-saver is eating your meals away from peak hours.
