Here's a Kids Boo Fest day for a family of four, buying smart.

This is the 35th Fright Fest, on select nights through Nov 1. A regular Park Ticket gets you in; the Fright Fest Bundle (from $75) adds the haunted mazes, with an Express upgrade available.
The water park next door needs its own ticket. The 2027 Gold and Prestige passes include it.
Nobody wants to hand over $39 to park a minivan. The Gold Pass parks you free and costs less than three day tickets.– John
Buy the Gold Pass before Nov 2. The price goes up after that.

Know a passholder? Their Bring-a-Friend ticket is $35 vs $90 at the gate.
No. As of October 2026 there's no official code. Online prices from $45 (vs $90 at the gate) are the discount.
