Military Gets In Free This Memorial Day at Six Flags Great Escape

Military Appreciation Weekend at Enchanted Parks

This Memorial Day weekend, Enchanted Parks is doing something simple but meaningful — saying thank you.

From May 23 through May 25, 2026, all active duty military members, veterans, National Guard, and reservists can enjoy free admission to participating parks with a valid military ID, including Six Flags in Upstate New York.

Just show up at the front gate, show your ID, and you’re in.

Bring the Family Along

Enchanted Parks also makes it easier to bring everyone with you. Military guests can purchase up to six additional single-day tickets at 40% off the gate price.

So if you’ve been trying to line up a family outing or a long-overdue weekend trip, this is the kind of deal that actually makes it doable.

It’s all about sharing the experience — roller coasters, water rides, food stands, and all the usual summer chaos that makes a park day feel like a tradition.
