Six Flags Entertainment Corp., North America’s largest regional amusement park operator, will host spring Grad Nite events in major cities nationwide, offering celebrations for graduating middle and high school students.
In Southern California, Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain will participate with both senior and junior Grad Nite events. The private, after-hours celebrations give students an opportunity to celebrate academic achievements with friends in amusement parks reserved exclusively for their schools.
Grad Nite events feature dance parties, dining, games and access to select rides, creating experiences close to home that are more affordable than destination graduation trips.
“Graduation is a time to celebrate achievements and friendships,” said Trent Turner, vice president of marketing and sales for Six Flags. “Grad Nite provides a secure and festive environment where students can enjoy an unforgettable experience together before beginning their next chapter.”
Schools are encouraged to register early to secure space at these popular events.
