Little ways to save
Only two weekends are left in the 2026 season, which ends Nov 1.
A family of four with two kids over 36 inches and two adults pays $88 per visit, so the $160 family pass add-on pays off after two visits (plus the membership).
Seniors pay $14, which is less than the chaperone rate.
Special events like Ghosts in the Oaks need a separate ticket, even for pass holders.
