Milky Way’s Facebook page has an offer for $20 off  on a ticket to Six Flags (You don’t need to be on Facebook for the deal). You’ll need the coupon  and 2 Milky Way or 3 Musketeers wrappers to get the deal. The  coupon expires on September 25, 2011, and it’s valid at participating parks.

During the month of June, if you make a purchase at Walmart on Wednesdays or Thursdays, you’ll get  a code on your receipt.  You can take that code (on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday only before 7/2/2010) to www.sixflags.com/walmart and register and  you’ll be able to purchase four general admission Six Flags tickets for $99.00 plus tax, and you will receive a voucher with additional in-park savings. Whew! Regular tickets are $49.00, so it’s  a lot of hoops to go through, but it’s a good deal. But you can get an online “Six Flags Everyone Pays Kid’s Rates Special”, for $31.99 without Walmart purchases or codes, too.

If you’re planning to visit a Six Flags theme park like Six Flags Discovery Kingdom/Marine World at least twice this season, think about getting  the season pass. Not only does it generally pay for itself in two visits, but it’ll come with a coupon book filled with about $300 worth of extras, including free tickets for friends, while supplies last. And it’s good at all the Six Flags parks, so if you’re travelling and get a hankering for a stomach churning roller coaster ride, you’re set.

Right now, season passes are available at the lowest price of the season ($20 off, but that ends May 31).  If you don’t have multiple visits planned, there are other deals and coupons for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom single visits here.

Six Flags/ Discovery Kingdom/ Marine World  has a limited time Twitter promotion of $15 tickets.  Go here to claim the $15 Twitter deal on Six Flags tickets.  The deadline isn’t specified, so  you’d better claim them fast if you want them.

Add it all up—admission, rides, the miscellaneous food on a stick, the cotton candy you regret on the stomach churning coaster –fairs aren’t cheap. But they are a tradition, and do you want your kid to grow up without having childhood memories of the fair?
