WE MAY CHANGE THE CHAPERONE POLICY AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PARK
SIX FLAGS DISCOVERY KINGDOM RESERVES THE RIGHT TO BEGIN ENFORCING THE CHAPERONE POLICY EARLIER ON ANY GIVEN DAY.
There will be no re-entry into the park after 4pm.
The safety of our guests, associates and animals has always been our top priority at Discovery Kingdom. We are committed to keeping Discovery Kingdom a place where families and friends come together to enjoy a one-of-a-kind park full of fun experiences and immersive entertainment.
As part of that commitment, we are implementing a chaperone policy beginning Friday, July 26, 2024.
Under this policy, all guests ages 15 years old or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old in order to be admitted to, or remain in, the park after 4:00 p.m. local time to close. The chaperone must present a valid government-issued photo identification with date of birth at ticket entry. One (1) chaperone may accompany no more than ten (10) guests ages 15 or younger per day. In addition, the chaperone must accompany their party during entry, remain inside the park during their visit, and be available by phone throughout their stay. Guests ages 15 years old or younger who are found inside the park unaccompanied by a chaperone will be subject to ejection. This chaperone requirement applies to all Discovery Kingdom ticket and season passholders.
We believe these changes will help ensure that Discovery Kingdom continues to have a positive atmosphere where generations of families and friends can gather for a day of safe fun and good food. Millions of guests have counted on us for exactly that, and we will continue to deliver on that promise for generations to come.
