Where it's cheapest to buy
We checked the usual discount spots so you don't have to open ten tabs.
| Where | Best price found | Our take |
|---|---|---|
| Park website (Deal Days) | $41.99 | Cheapest wristband, Deal Days only, plus tax and 5% online fee |
| Tripster | $49.40 | From $49.40, discount applied automatically, no code |
| Undercover Tourist | $49.96 | Tax included. Mall of America park only. Non-refundable |
| Park website (regular days) | $52.49 | Plus tax, plus 5% fee online. Same price at the park |
| AAA | $58 | From $58 plus taxes and fees. Costs more than the park |
| Groupon | — | No Mall of America deal. Its Nickelodeon Universe deal is for New Jersey |
My take: grab a Deal Day if your date has one. On a regular day, Undercover Tourist's $49.96 with tax already in is the cleanest price.– John
Undercover Tourist says "save $11 vs gate," which seems to count tax and the online fee. Against the posted $52.49, it's less.
Promo codes we checked
Search "Nickelodeon Universe promo code" and most of what you'll find, like Tripster's NICK10 or Groupon deals, is for the New Jersey park at American Dream. Here's what's real for Mall of America.
