Six Flags Military & Veteran Discount
Six Flags gives U.S. military, veterans & first responders (plus family) discounted admission via ID.me — online only, up to 6 tickets. Prices are set per park. Here’s how it works.
Six Flags offers discounted single-day admission for U.S. military members (active and retired), veterans, first responders, and their immediate family members. The offer is available year-round and is redeemed online — you verify your status through ID.me at checkout, then can buy up to 6 tickets for family and friends. Discounted prices are set by each individual park rather than as a single nationwide percentage, so the exact savings depend on which Six Flags you visit.
The discount cannot be combined with any other offer, including sales, and is not available at the front gate. A handful of parks also run free-admission Military Appreciation days around Memorial Day weekend, redeemed in person with a valid military ID.
This is an independent guide. We are not affiliated with Six Flags; Six Flags sets and can change all terms and pricing.

HOW TO REDEEM
Online at www.sixflags.com
- Open your park’s Military pageGo to your specific park’s Military & First Responders ticket page on sixflags.com — each park has its own page and pricing.
- Select the product and dateSelect the Military & First Responder ticket, waterpark ticket, or Military season pass for your park, and choose your visit date (single-day tickets are valid only on the date selected).
- Verify with ID.meWhen prompted, log in to ID.me to verify your military, veteran, or first responder status. An ID.me account is required.
- Check out (up to 6 tickets)Complete checkout. You can include up to 6 tickets total for family and friends. The discount can’t be combined with any other offer.
In store
- Not at the front gateStandard discounted tickets are not sold at the front gate — buy online before you arrive.
- Free appreciation days only (in person)For select free-admission Military Appreciation days only (e.g., California’s Great America, Memorial Day Weekend), bring a valid U.S. Military ID and present it at Guest Services. Additional tickets for friends/family on those days must still be purchased online in advance.
HOW IT WORKS
Six Flags uses ID.me to verify eligibility. After you select your Military & First Responder product(s) online, you receive an ID.me login prompt to confirm your status before completing the purchase — you must be registered with ID.me. The official pages don’t state how often re-verification is required or which documents ID.me will request; ID.me manages its own verification and renewal. For free in-person appreciation days, verification is by presenting a valid U.S. Military ID at Guest Services. If automatic verification fails, follow ID.me’s support process — Six Flags doesn’t publish a separate path.
The key thing about pricing: there is no single nationwide percentage, because each park sets its own discounted price and those change periodically. As of June 24, 2026, Six Flags Magic Mountain listed a Military & First Responder single-day from $50 (gate $110) and Six Flags Great Adventure from $39 (gate $90), with discounted Hurricane Harbor waterpark tiers too. Always check your specific park’s page for its current price rather than assuming one park’s deal applies elsewhere.
Two ways to get more value. Some parks sell a discounted Military season pass (e.g., Magic Mountain’s Gold pass online at $105 vs. $135) that bundles park + waterpark access, free general parking, and in-park discounts — often a better deal than per-visit tickets for repeat visitors. And a few parks run free-admission Military Appreciation days: California’s Great America gave active and retired military free single-day admission over Memorial Day Weekend (May 22–25, 2026), redeemed in person with a military ID. Those dates are park-specific and change each year, so confirm your local park’s current offer.

All military & veteran discountsEditorial policy
- Source priority. We cite Six Flags’ own park Military Discounts pages (Magic Mountain, Great Adventure) and California’s Great America Military Days first. The discounted single-day admission, ID.me verification, online-only redemption, 6-ticket cap, and no-stacking rule are from those pages. Pricing is set PER PARK — there is no nationwide percentage — so we cite example dollar prices with the June 24, 2026 access date and assert no single figure. active/retired/veterans/first responders are named; CA Great America itemizes Reserves & National Guard; immediate family is covered via the member’s purchase. Medical/teachers/government/students and surviving spouses/Gold Star are not stated. The CA Great America free-admission window (May 22–25, 2026) is a dated, park-specific example — confirm current appreciation days per park.
