Fire and Ice Winter Festival
Six Flags over Texas introduced its Fire and Ice Winter Festival in 2021 to bridge the gap between Holiday in the Park and Spring Break. Historically the park had been closed throughout January and February, but the park beginning year-round operation in 2020 provided a new opportunity for this unique event.
The Fire and Ice festival carries many offerings over from Holiday in the Park while also introducing new activities, shows, and tons of photo ops. Plus, the park is offering an admission special for the park’s 60th anniversary season including tickets for just $19.61!
Reminder: Online reservations are required prior to visiting the park and all guests must comply with enhanced safety protocols including facemask usage.
