Tips & FAQ

Helpful information to get the most out of your visit to Fright Fest at Fiesta Texas.

  • Six Flags Fiesta Texas requires that guests 15 and younger be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old after 4:00pm. The chaperone must:

    • Have a valid government-issued photo ID with a date of birth

    • Accompany the group when they enter the park

    • Remain in the park with the group

    • Be available by phone 

    One chaperone can accompany up to 10 guests. Minors who are found in the park without a chaperone will be asked to leave.  Six Flags implemented this policy to ensure a safe and family-friendly environment for all guests. The policy applies to all ticket and season pass holders.

  • Guests 12 Years Old & Under

    • Can wear a full costume, mask, and face painting if accompanied by an adult family member.

    • If this guest is alone or with same-aged children, then no masks or face makeup is allowed.

    • Masks with "bloody" features are not allowed.

    • Guests this age may only partially paint their face (no more than half the face can be painted).

    • Can bring toy accessories including plastic swords, magic wands, crowns, and wearable ears. Toy guns, pitchforks, and objects with "bloody" features are not permitted. All toy accessories must pliable and non-sharp plastic.


    Guests 13 Years & Older

    • These guests can wear costumes.

    • There are NO EXCEPTIONS to these rules: no masks, costumes cannot have inappropriate language or imagery, partial face paint is allowed as long as it does not disguise facial features (no more than half the face painted), no handheld accessories (guns, chains, swords, wands, etc.) of any kind are permitted.

    • All costumes must be appropriate and family-friendly.

  • Fright Fest operates on select evenings from September 6 to November2 during the 2025 season. A full calendar of operating hours can be found at the park's main website.

  • We do not have a 100% guaranteed solution for avoiding crowds. This is one of the busiest times of the year to visit a Six Flags park. However, there are a few methods we have tried in the past that have helped:

    • Go earlier in the season. Fright Fest starts in September. You will likely not run into the heavy crowds that are present the closer it gets to Halloween.

    • Go on an off-day. Have you thought about going to Fright Fest during the week on a Friday? This has sometimes been a great way to avoid the weekend crowd.

    • Do not go on coupon dates. If there is a deal for bringing friends free or discounted tickets we highly recommend that you do not go to the park if you are bothered by large crowds.

    • Try going on a Sunday. This isn't always the case, but sometimes Sunday is a less-crowded day than Saturday. We still think the closer it gets to Halloween the busier Sundays will inevitably get.

  • A highlight of the Halloween season is the park’s live entertainment offerings. We recommend arriving to venues earlier than usual to ensure admittance. Show schedules, when available, are listed in the “Entertainment” section above.

  • Due to its content, Fright Fest is not recommended for guests under 13. During the day, Six Flags Fiesta Texas offers Tricks & Treats, a family-friendly Halloween alternative.

  • During the day, scare zones do not feature any monsters. However, once night falls, all scare zones are filled with scary characters with the sole intent to frighten the guests around them. Please note that many park attractions cannot be accessed without traveling through various scare zones within the park.
