When is Six Flags Fiesta Texas least crowded?
The second Six Flags park in Texas (the other being Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington), Fiesta Texas features 50 rides, including 8 roller coasters. The park is located in San Antonio and also includes White Water Bay, a separate water park.
So when exactly is the best time to go to Fiesta Texas? The park is open from late March through January, and some days are busier than others. Here’s what the crowds look like throughout the operating season.
March
Opening Day – Six Flags Fiesta Texas opens for the operating season on the first weekend of March, and crowds are usually manageable for the opening weekend.
Spring Break – Schools in the area are out for Spring Break in mid-March. That means the park is open all week and it’s typically packed. Crowds are lighter on the weekends after Spring Break, especially on Sundays.
April
Weekends – Fiesta Texas is open on weekends in April, and crowds usually aren’t too bad. Sundays are least crowded.
May
Weekends – It’s not the summer season just yet. The park is open on weekends in May, and Sundays are again your best bet for lighter crowds.
Memorial Day Weekend – Fiesta Texas starts opening daily after Memorial Day. It’s typically very busy over the three-day weekend. The park is open for a few weekdays before the holiday weekend and after Memorial Day, so try to go on those days for a lot less crowds.
June
Summer Season – Six Flags Fiesta Texas is open everyday in June for the summer season crowds. The earlier you go in June, the better. Crowds start to pick up by the second week of the month. Weekdays are still busy, but usually less crowded than the weekends.
July
4th of July Weekend – The summer crowds are out in full force by July, and it’s typically very crowded for the 4th of July holiday.
July is the busiest month at Six Flags, so there’s really not much relief from the summer crowds. If you must go, avoid the weekends.
August
Weekdays – August marks the end of the busy summer season. More schools get back in session throughout August, so the later in the month you go, the less crowded it will be. Go on weekdays for smaller crowds.
September
Labor Day Weekend – Six Flags Fiesta Texas gets crowded for the three-day weekend. Try to arrive early.
The park is only open for a couple weekends after Labor Day, and it usually isn’t very crowded.
October
Fright Fest – Fright Fest takes over on weekends in all of October. Attendance to the Halloween event is highest on Saturdays. Try to get there early in the day for more manageable crowds.
November – December – January
Weekends – Fiesta Texas is open for the first few weekends in November, and crowds are typically light.
Holiday in the Park – The holiday event starts on Thanksgiving Weekend and into January. Crowds are typically light to moderate, but do start to pick up after Christmas and into New Year’s Eve. Fiesta Texas is closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

It’s expected to be manageable on that weekend. I think Sunday will be better. Sundays tend to be less crowded.
Thinking of going feb 16 or 17 2109 do you think it will be packed?
I’m thinking it won’t be too bad since it’s early in the season. The crowds usually pick up in March.
So, I was looking for the best time to go to Six Flags Fiesta and checked out your calendar. Man you were spot on for Feb. 13. It was a ghost town. We went for my daughter’s 15th birthday and it was awesome. There were no lines at all. She got to go on everything she wanted 3 to 4 times without having to wait for any of them. I think the longest line was the bumper cars and we were only there for like 5 minutes. It was awesome!!!!
Of course it also helped that it was Super Bowl Sunday. So, yeah, that was the perfect day to go. I wouldn’t have picked it had I not seen “Ghost Town” on the calendar. No passes necessary.
would flash pass be recommended for May 13 2023? if i dont get it how much would the wait be
Yes, I think it would be worth getting. The lines on Saturdays are usually 40-60min.
Hi im trying to get tickets for six flags but im a bit confused. If im getting the one day ticket is a flash pass also required to get on the rides or is it just to save time? it gives me the option to add any flash pass but im not sure if its required to buy the ticket and pass or how it works this would be our first time going
Flash Pass is just an add-on to your ticket to save time, it’s not required to get on rides.
