Kings Dominion Military & Veteran Discount
$40 ID.me single-day tickets and an $89 Military Gold Pass for active and retired military, veterans, and first responders — plus free Memorial Day admission.
Kings Dominion, the theme park in Doswell, Virginia, offers a genuine year-round military discount: a $40 single-day ticket (versus a $90 gate reference price), verified through ID.me, plus an $89 Military Gold Pass that covers unlimited 2026 visits, free parking, and Halloween Haunt. Active and retired military, veterans, and first responders qualify, and an eligible buyer can purchase up to six discounted tickets for immediate family and friends online.
Here is the part most coupon pages skip: the military single-day price cannot be combined with sales, and the park frequently runs public deals. As of July 8, 2026 a public $35 Flash Sale ticket (advertised through July 31, 2026) was actually cheaper than the $40 military rate. Public sale prices move constantly, so treat that number as a point-in-time example — check the current public price and buy whichever is lower that day. If you are visiting more than once, the $89 Military Gold Pass is the clear best value.
Kings Dominion is now operated by Six Flags following the 2024 Cedar Fair–Six Flags merger, so the official offer lives at sixflags.com/kingsdominion. This is an independent guide — NavyWeek is not affiliated with Kings Dominion or Six Flags, and the park controls and can change these terms at any time, so confirm the current offer on the official page before you buy.

The military ticket isn’t always the cheapest — here’s the real play
Kings Dominion’s $40 military ticket can’t be stacked on a sale, and the park runs frequent public deals. Here is the honest way to spend the least:
- Compare first — check the current public ticket price against the $40 ID.me military rate. When a public flash sale is lower (it was $35 through July 31, 2026), buy the public ticket; it’s cheaper and needs no verification.
- No sale beating $40? Use the ID.me military single-day ticket ($40 vs about $45 for the regular advance online ticket).
- Visiting twice or more in 2026? Get the $89 Military Gold Pass — it undercuts the ~$105 regular Gold Pass and adds free parking and Halloween Haunt.
- Can you time Memorial Day weekend? Active and retired military get in free during "Military Days" with a physical U.S. Military ID at the gate.
- Never buy at the gate — the gate price roughly doubles the advance online price.
Public sale prices and windows change constantly and are point-in-time examples, not evergreen rates — re-check the current price before you buy.

- Present a valid U.S. Military ID at the front gateActive and retired military get free single-day admission by showing a physical U.S. Military ID at the front-gate turnstiles — this offer is verified at the gate, not through ID.me.
- Buy any family or friend tickets online in advanceDiscounted friend and family tickets for the Memorial Day window are purchased online ahead of time, not at the gate.
HOW IT WORKS
The year-round online discount is gated by ID.me, the same identity-verification service used by the VA, the IRS, and many major retailers. After you select your ticket or pass on the Kings Dominion military discounts page, an ID.me login prompt confirms your military, veteran, or first-responder status before checkout. Verifying once links your eligibility to your ID.me account and is reused across other ID.me partners.
For most single visitors, the smartest move is a quick price comparison rather than an automatic assumption that the military rate is cheapest. Because the discount explicitly cannot be stacked on a sale, you pick either the military ticket or a public sale ticket — whichever is lower that day. When a public flash sale drops below $40 (as it did at $35 through July 31, 2026), the public ticket wins and needs no verification. Sale windows and prices are volatile and seasonal, so re-check the current public price before deciding.
For repeat visitors, the real value is concentrated in the 2026 Military Gold Pass at $89 plus fees. It covers unlimited 2026 visits, free parking, and Halloween Haunt, and it undercuts the regular Gold Pass (around $105). It generally pays off after roughly two visits and is the best overall path for anyone planning more than a single trip.
There is also a separate, historical Memorial Day tradition: "Military Days" free single-day admission for active and retired military, which ran May 22–25 in 2026. That offer is verified differently — by a physical U.S. Military ID checked at the front gate, not through ID.me — and the exact dates change each year, so verify them annually before planning a visit. GovX is an alternative marketplace channel that sells Kings Dominion military and government tickets using its own verification if you prefer it over ID.me.
Exclusions & fine print
- The military, veteran, and first-responder discount cannot be combined with any other offer, including sales (official terms).
- The year-round discount is online only — "all offers must be redeemed online." The lone exception is the Memorial Day free-admission day, redeemed in person.
- Up to six discounted friend/family tickets per eligible ID.me account.
- The $90 figure is a gate reference price; the realistic public online price is lower (about $45, or less during sales), so nobody should pay the gate price online.
- Taxes and fees apply on top of the listed prices.
- Public sale prices (such as the $35 Flash Sale that ran through July 31, 2026) change frequently and are not guaranteed — always compare the current public price against the $40 military ticket before buying.
