You can’t wait to hit those roller coasters and see Looney Tunes characters up-close-and-personal, but before you get there, you have to figure out how to get everyone to the park.

We can get your group from anywhere in Dallas, Fort Worth, or surrounding areas to Six Flags’s home in Arlington without the stress of parking, and you can even add TVs and WiFi to keep everyone entertained while you travel.
About Six Flags Over Texas
View this post on Instagram
Opened in 1961, Six Flags Over Texas was one of the country’s first theme parks to embrace the idea of “themed lands”—sections of the park decorated to resemble different countries, cities, or historical periods. Today, the park has nine of these areas, including Gotham City (for all things Batman), Bugs Bunny Boomtown (for rides designed for small children), and the USA (which features a replica of the Liberty Bell). The park also boasts more than 40 rides, including 13 roller coasters, so you and your group will definitely find something to get your adrenaline pumping. And if thrill rides aren’t your thing, don’t worry! Six Flags Over Texas also offers gentler rides and shows, such as a carousel, a log flume, and a 4-D movie.
Admission & Passes
Six Flags Over Texas requires you to buy tickets for specific dates, but they don’t need to be for specific times. You can also pay extra for a Season Pass, which grants you unlimited access to the park year-round, as well as free parking. There are different levels of passes—some of which include parking or skip-the-line entry, which can be a great investment if you’re planning on visiting the park multiple times in one year. Groups of 10 or more are eligible for discounted ticket prices. If you’d like to book a group visit for your scout troop, class, sports team, or other large gathering of people, you’ll need to do so at least two weeks in advance by contacting Group Sales at 817-640-8900 x 4950. They can help you plan any educational or corporate team-building programs for your visit.
How to Get There
If you’re coming from within Dallas-Fort Worth, the simplest way to get to Six Flags Over Texas is to take Interstate 30 to Exit 26. You can also take I-20 to Highway 360 South and Exit Division/Six Flags Drive. If you’re driving from further away, check your GPS or use a navigation app to find the fastest route to the park’s main entrance. We understand that you may not want to plan your road trip around the highways and toll roads in and out of the DFW metro area—which is why we at Partybus.com are committed to helping you travel comfortably and safely. When you book a charter bus with us, all you have to do is tell us where you want to be picked up and dropped off. You and your group can focus on listening to your favorite playlist or planning out which rides you want to experience first while a driver handles the rest.

Parking
Six Flags Over Texas requires you to purchase a daily parking pass, and pricing can vary depending on the size of your vehicle and the time of year. As of this writing, it costs about $30 to park a standard-sized car and the same amount to park a charter bus. If you’re traveling with a group of 50 people, you can save money by booking a charter bus and paying to park it rather than driving 10 separate cars. And if you book your group tickets ahead of time, you’ll save on admission as well!
Things to do At the Park
If it’s thrills and chills that you’re craving, you’ll find plenty of excitement at Six Flags.

Kids can run, dance, and meet their favorite cartoon characters at themed areas of the park. And if you’re a foodie, there are several options for sit-down meals and snacks for your group to enjoy. From classic Tex-Mex and Southern barbecue to classic boardwalk hot dogs and ice cream sundaes, you’ll be sure to find food that will please all of your group members.

Pro Tips for Visiting

* Arrive early: The park usually gets busy after noon, so try to arrive around 9 a.m. to beat the crowds. If you do arrive early, head to your favorite rides before the lines get long.
* Download the Six Flags App: The app can help you find restrooms, reserve food, and even see the approximate wait times for each ride before you get in line.
* Take breaks: It’s easy to get burned out on rides. Take a break every few hours to have lunch, sit in a shady spot, or watch a performance.
* Pack light: Six Flags doesn’t allow outside food, drinks, or coolers, so leave them on your bus.
* Purchase a Flash Pass: If you have it in your budget, consider purchasing a Flash Pass so your group can skip the long lines at the park’s most popular attractions.
