Six Flags Darien Lake is an amusement park and campground in the Niagara Frontier region of New York. Considered the roller coaster capital of the state, Darien Lake is a very popular summertime destination for families throughout Western New York, and beyond. The Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, adjacent to the park, is the premier outdoor concert venue in Western New York. Its summer concert season is filled with big-name acts on national tours and represents almost as big a part of the business as the theme park.
Darien Lake is on State Route 77, 5 miles (8 km) south of Interstate 90 (the New York State Thruway). Take exit 48A from the Thruway and turn right onto Route 77 after the tollbooths.
