This page is for you if you are torn between buying now and waiting until 27 November. We checked 42 parks: what they have announced for 2026, what the ones that have not said anything yet did in 2025, and how to save at parks that skip Black Friday. For general money-saving tips, see our guide to cheap theme park tickets.
Black Friday 2026 deals already confirmed
As of 5 November 2026, these are the only deals labeled Black Friday on the parks' official websites. Almost all of them are in North America, where the campaign starts weeks before the day itself.
| Park | Deal | Ends |
|---|---|---|
| Six Flags Magic Mountain | 2027 Silver Pass for $79, plus a free Bring-A-Friend ticket with new passes and renewals | 30 November |
| Six Flags Fiesta Texas | 2027 Silver Pass for $69, plus a free Bring-A-Friend ticket | 30 November |
| Cedar Point | Silver Pass valid through Labor Day 2027 for $89; at the hotel, third night free for stays in May and June 2027 | 30 November |
| Canada's Wonderland | 2027 Silver Pass for $75 each when you buy 4 or more ($89 if you buy 1 to 3), with WinterFest 2026 included | 30 November |
| Knott's Berry Farm | Hotel only: third night free at Knott's Hotel; there is no Black Friday deal on passes | 30 November (bookings) |
| Busch Gardens Tampa Bay | Black Friday presale: up to −60%, one-day tickets from $71.99 and a 2027 Fun Card with the rest of 2026 free | Limited-time presale |
| Beach Park (Brazil) | Aqua Park from BRL 159 when paying with Pix, Arvorar from BRL 79 and resorts up to −50% for those who sign up early | 24 to 27 November |
Look at what is actually on sale: at the Six Flags parks, the deal is a 2027 season pass for the price of a one-day ticket. It pays off if you will go back at least twice next year. If you are only going once, and in winter, check the regular ticket price for your date first.
What parks that have not announced anything did in 2025
Most European and Latin American parks announce their Black Friday only one or two weeks ahead. What they did last year is the best clue to what may come, but it is not a promise: the terms change from year to year.
| Park | Black Friday 2025 | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| PortAventura World | Hotel Roulette with tickets to PortAventura Park and Ferrari Land from €50 per person per night, booking from 24 November to 1 December | Hotel assigned the day before, 20 rooms per night and stays the following year |
| Futuroscope | "Black Futuro Days": −40% on 1- and 2-day dated tickets, from 28 November to 2 December | It ran in both 2024 and 2025: the most predictable campaign in Europe |
| Parc Astérix | "Billet Givré" at €49 for one day of the Christmas season, versus €55 for the regular Christmas ticket | Limited numbers and a fixed date; the park is closed until 19 December 2026 |
| Tibidabo | No joining fee for the TibiClub annual pass (−€24) and 2-for-1 general admission on 29 and 30 November | It runs TibiClub promotions several times a year |
| Alton Towers | Merlin Annual Pass Essential cut from £139 to £79, from 18 November to 21 December | The pass is at full price right now; the park closes in winter |
| Xcaret, Xplor and Xel-Há | −20% at Xcaret and −25% at Xplor and Xel-Há, from 27 November to 2 December; a similar discount during El Buen Fin | In Mexico, El Buen Fin comes earlier, in mid-November |
| Hersheypark | 2026 passes with a Bring-A-Friend ticket, Christmas Candylane at more than 40% off and spring tickets at more than 55% off, through Cyber Monday | Its guaranteed price on 2027 passes ended on 4 November |
| Hopi Hari (Brazil) | Tickets from BRL 45 versus BRL 245 at the gate, from 21 to 30 November | Limited visit dates |
| Six Flags México | 2026 Gold Pass from MXN 989 until 1 December, as a "Flash Sale" | Current pass holders can now renew to the 2027 Gold Pass for MXN 899, until 16 November |
Beto Carrero World also ran a Black Friday in 2025, but only for residents of Santa Catarina and Curitiba. If you do not live there, do not count on it.
Parks without Black Friday: how to save anyway
At Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World, Disneyland in California, Universal and the parks in Asia, we found no official Black Friday deals in 2025. The ones you see under that name are travel agency packages. At these parks you save more by picking the right day than by waiting for a particular date. Our Which ticket should I buy? tool compares the ticket types at each park.
- Europa-Park: you pay €10 more at the gate than online. From 30 November to 22 December 2026, the Ride & Slide ticket (the park by day and Rulantica in the evening) starts at €75 Monday to Friday, and hotel-and-ticket packages are −20% on selected dates in December.
- Efteling: the price depends on the day, from €40 to €56. Weekdays outside school vacations are the cheapest.
- Puy du Fou: book more than 72 hours ahead and the adult Christmas ticket starts at €42 instead of €59.
- Parque Warner and Parque de Atracciones de Madrid: the 2027 Bono Parques includes the rest of 2026 (Oro €219, Platino €329). The Bono Parques website has a Black Friday page that, for now, only says "coming soon".
- Terra Mítica: it is closed until 30 April 2027, but the 2027 Pase Mítico costs €93 for an adult (€115 afterward) if you buy it online before 31 December.
Wait for Black Friday or buy now?
It depends on when you are going. If your trip is this winter, do not wait by default: some of the promotions running now beat what came out on Black Friday last year. At PortAventura, the code ESCAPEPAW gets you −40% on weekday tickets if you buy before 10 November and visit before 18 December 2026. That is a bigger discount than many Black Friday deals, and it expires sooner.
If you are planning to go next year, Black Friday is a good time to buy a season pass or a hotel package, especially at Six Flags, Busch Gardens, PortAventura and Futuroscope. Our rule of thumb: compare the deal with the regular online price for your date, not the gate price. Some "up to 60% off" claims are calculated against the gate price.
Before you buy, run the numbers with our theme park budget calculator: tickets, food, parking and hotel. That way you will know whether the discount really changes the total cost of your trip.
If your dates are set
If you are going on a specific date and do not want to wait, you can buy a one-day ticket now. On GetYourGuide you pay in your own language and currency and see the cancellation terms before paying. The official website is still the price benchmark: compare the two.
Before you buy on Black Friday
- Check the visit dates, not just the purchase window: many deals are for visits in 2027 or on specific days.
- See whether you can change or cancel. PortAventura's 2025 hotel deal, for example, was non-refundable.
- Six Flags season passes come in tiers (Silver, Gold, Prestige) with different blockout dates: check the calendar for the one you buy.
- In Brazil and Mexico, several deals require paying with Pix or signing up in advance. Register early.
- We will update this page when the parks publish their 2026 deals.
Frequently asked questions
Friday 27 November 2026, with Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November. Many parks start earlier: the Six Flags deals are already live and end on 30 November.
It did in 2025: Hotel Roulette with tickets from €50 per person per night, booking from 24 November to 1 December. As of 5 November 2026, it has not announced this year's deal. In the meantime, the code ESCAPEPAW gets you −40% on weekday tickets until 10 November.
We found no official Disneyland Paris Black Friday deal in 2025. Deals sold under that name are usually travel agency packages. To save, compare prices by day and look at the hotel-and-ticket promotions on its website.
If you are going this winter, hardly ever. Black Friday mostly discounts season passes and packages for the following year. If you are going in 2027 and plan to return, it usually pays off.
For 2026, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Cedar Point, Canada's Wonderland, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and the Knott's Berry Farm hotel already have one. Hersheypark ran one in 2025. Disney and Universal do not publish official Black Friday deals.
