Vallejo's coasters and critters, for less
Open Saturdays and Sundays through Nov 1 with Oktoberfest and the daytime Tricks and Treats event. WinterFest runs select dates Nov 27 to Jan 3. Fright Fest isn't on the 2026 calendar.
A day ticket is from $39 online, vs $80 at the gate. Parking is $39 more, so one person on a cheap date pays $78 before fees and tax.
That's more than the 2027 Gold Pass, which is $75 with free parking and covers the rest of 2026 plus all of 2027. If you'll go even once more this fall, buy the pass.
1 person, cheapest date
At the gate: $80.00. You keep at least $31.01
No public promo code works at Discovery Kingdom right now. These are the real ways to pay less, and the cheapest one is a season pass.
The rest of 2026 and all of 2027, free general parking, 10% off food and merch, and every Six Flags park and water park in California, Arizona and Mexico, Knott's Berry Farm included.

We checked the usual discount spots so you don't have to open ten tabs.
| Where | Best price found | Our take |
|---|---|---|
| Tripster | $34.89 | $35.76 total at checkout when we looked. Parking extra |
| Park website | $39 | From $39, plus a fee of up to $9.99 and tax. Price depends on the date |
| Park website (military & first responders) | $35 | From $35 with ID.me verification |
| Groupon | $50.23 | Any-day fall ticket, good through Nov 1, 2026. Costs more than the park's own price |
| AAA | — | $5 off up to 6 tickets at the ticket booth, per La Jolla Mom |
| Employer perks (MemberDeals, Tickets at Work) | — | Often carry Six Flags parks; log in to your company's portal to check |
My take: one day, use Tripster at about $36 all in. Two days or more, the $75 Gold Pass wins, and it parks you free.– John
The only "code" we found is Groupon's HALLOWEEN, which takes $1.44 off a Groupon deal that already costs more than the park's online price.
Day tickets use this fall's lowest online price (from $39, varies by date); 2027 day prices aren't posted yet. Assumes one car at $39 general parking. Processing fee (up to $9.99) and tax excluded.

Here's a Tricks and Treats day for a family of four, buying smart.
No. Outside food, drinks and coolers aren't allowed. Baby food in non-glass containers and allergy needs are the exceptions. This comes from Tripster's listing; we couldn't open the park's own policy page.
Both run Saturdays and Sundays through Nov 1 and come with a regular Park Ticket. Tricks and Treats is the daytime, kid-friendly Halloween event. There's no Fright Fest at Discovery Kingdom this year.
WinterFest runs select dates Nov 27, 2026 to Jan 3, 2027. The 2027 Gold Pass covers the rest of 2026.
One day ticket plus parking is $78. The Gold Pass is $75 and parks you free. I'll let that math sink in.– John
Buy the $75 Gold Pass instead of a day ticket if there's any chance you'll come back. It costs less than one visit with parking.
Family of four or more? The Family Pack is $35 a ticket if everyone's in before 2 PM.
Buying one day? Tripster showed $35.76 all in, which beats $39 plus the park's fee.
Renewing your pass? Do it by Nov 1 for a free Bring-A-Friend ticket.
Skip the Groupon fall ticket. At $50.23 it costs more than buying from the park.
No. As of October 2026 there's no working public code. Online prices from $39 (vs $80 at the gate) are the discount.
General parking is $39 and preferred is $49 per car. The 2027 Gold and Prestige passes include parking.
No. It isn't on the 2026 calendar. The park runs Tricks and Treats and Oktoberfest on weekends through Nov 1 instead.
Yes, even for two visits. It's $75 with parking. One day ticket at $39 plus $39 parking already costs $78.
Yes. It covers the Six Flags parks and water parks in California, Arizona and Mexico, including Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm.
The park hasn't posted its 2027 opening date. WinterFest runs select dates through Jan 3, 2027.
