For anyone planning a visit to Six Flags San Antonio in 2025, the pattern is clear: daily tickets bought online start at $39, but gate prices hit $90. A Gold Membership at roughly $150 per person includes both parks, free parking, and recurring admission — a deal that pays off after just two single-day visits.
