Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has reached an agreement to sell Michigan's Adventure, the largest amusement park in Michigan, to Kansas City-based real estate investment firm EPR Properties. The $331 million deal is part of a broader restructuring by Six Flags, with the sale of seven amusement parks across North America. Michigan's Adventure will continue operating normally through the 2026 season, with no immediate changes for visitors.

Why it matters

The sale of Michigan's Adventure, a longtime summer destination for Southwest Michigan families, comes during the park's 70th anniversary year. The divestiture is part of Six Flags' efforts to streamline operations following its 2024 merger with Cedar Fair, allowing the company to focus investment on its largest destinations.

The details

Under the agreement, EPR Properties will own the real estate while operations will be handled by an experienced park management group, expected to operate under the name Enchanted Parks. Six Flags says the transition is designed to ensure continuity for guests and employees while allowing the parks to continue operating as regional attractions.

  • Michigan's Adventure is scheduled to open for the 2026 season on May 22.
  • 2026 marks the 70th anniversary season for Michigan's Adventure, which opened as Deer Park in 1956.
