Little ways to save
Grandparents 60 and up pay $21.99 at the window. Bring them along.– John
Buy online. A family of two adults and two kids saves $88.50 on an early-season weekday, after the $1.50 fee.
Go Monday to Thursday or before mid-June for the lowest Pick-a-Date prices.
Pack a picnic. Lunches are allowed, so you only pay for parking, and parking is free.
Live in the Hyland Hills district or Westminster? Get a Discount Card at a Hyland Hills center for resident pricing.
Weather iffy? Keep It Flexible at $53.99 still beats the $57.99 window price.
