Six Flags parks are offering free admission to active or retired military members and veterans during Memorial Day weekend, with the offer running Friday, May 22, through Monday, May 25, 2026, at multiple parks.
The clearest version is running at Cedar Point, Carowinds, and California's Great America. Active and retired U.S. military members and veterans can receive one free single-day admission ticket during the holiday weekend with valid military ID. Friends and family tickets are sold separately online.
The redemption point varies. Cedar Point and Carowinds direct eligible guests to the front gate turnstiles, while California's Great America directs guests to Guest Services. Six Flags Over Georgia is also offering free admission May 22-25 for active military personnel and veterans at the park's front entrance.
Several legacy Six Flags parks are carrying the same holiday headline on their military-discount pages, including Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Over Texas, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Some of those pages pair the free-admission message with ID.me ticket discounts for military members, veterans, first responders, and family or friend tickets.
That park-by-park split matters. Guests should check the specific park they plan to visit before heading out, especially if the offer requires in-person redemption, online purchase for companion tickets, or a separate ID.me flow.
The free admission window overlaps with the broader Six Flags Memorial Day sale, which also runs through May 25 at participating parks. The sale is separate from the military admission offer.
