Finally our third Theme Park is Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts:

Billed as the thrill capital of New England, Six Flags is a little more of a hike if you're in Connecticut, Putnam or Dutchess County. Six Flags New England has over 100 rides, shows, attractions and is home to New England’s largest water park, Hurricane Harbor.

Prices for ride all day passes are $71.99 for Adults, $61.99 for kids, and parking passes are $25.00 per car.

So there are your local theme park choices for the summer. Better start saving now, because just to take a family of four will set you back anywhere from a little over $100 per family to close to $300, depending on your park choice.

Remember that there are often plenty of discount coupons available and special deals for season passes and memberships. You just may have to do a little on line searching.
