Schlitterbahn Military & Veteran Discount
~$35 ID.me tickets at New Braunfels (up to 6 guests, free parking) and 10% off at the Galveston gate for military, veterans, and first responders.
Straight answer: yes, Schlitterbahn has a military discount — but the two Texas parks run different programs now. At Schlitterbahn New Braunfels (operated by Six Flags), active-duty and retired military members, veterans, and first responders buy discounted tickets starting around $35 online, verified through ID.me, and can cover up to 6 friends and family — plus free parking. At Schlitterbahn Galveston (operated separately by Enchanted Parks), you get 10% off the online ticket price at the gate by showing a military ID, DD-214, veteran-designated license, or work badge at the booth.
Neither discount combines with public sales, so it’s worth comparing the military rate against whatever advance-purchase promo is live and buying the cheaper one.
This is an independent guide — we’re not affiliated with Schlitterbahn, Six Flags, or Enchanted Parks, and prices and programs can change at any time. Confirm current terms on each park’s official page before you go.

HOW IT WORKS
The key thing to understand is that "Schlitterbahn" is no longer one program: New Braunfels resolves to sixflags.com and Galveston to enchantedparks.com, and each operator sets its own military offer. Aggregator sites still advertise "Schlitterbahn 70% off promo codes" and imply a single park-wide military deal — the verified reality is two parks, two operators, two different programs.
New Braunfels is the stronger offer: a military/veteran/first-responder ticket from about $35 (plus taxes and fees), gated by ID.me — the same identity-verification service used by the VA and the IRS — bought online only, with up to 6 tickets per verified member and free parking included. Galveston is a thinner, in-person deal: 10% off the online ticket price, applied at the ticket booth when you present a non-expired military ID, DD-214, veteran-designated driver’s license, or work ID/badge.
Because neither park lets the military discount combine with other offers or sales, always compare it against any live public advance-purchase promo and buy the cheaper path. For repeat visits, price a season pass — for two or more trips it usually beats repeat single-day military tickets. Reports of a Memorial Day free-military-admission weekend at New Braunfels circulate on aggregator sites, but we could not confirm one on the official 2026 page — treat that as unverified and re-check before planning around it.
Since the parks control pricing, verification, and combinability and can change them at any time, treat the numbers here as a starting point and verify the current offer on each park’s official page before you buy.
Exclusions & fine print
- Not combinable with other offers or sales at either park — a deep public sale can beat the military rate, but you can’t stack them, so compare and pick the lower price.
- New Braunfels is online only via ID.me — there is no counter military rate, so buy in advance.
- Galveston is in-person only — the 10% is applied at the ticket booth, off the online price.
- New Braunfels caps the offer at 6 tickets per verified member; Galveston covers immediate family presenting with the member.
- The two parks are separate operators (Six Flags vs. Enchanted Parks) with separate programs — don’t assume one park’s terms apply to the other.
