Little ways to save

Pack the cooler. Lunch for four in the picnic grove costs whatever's in your fridge.– John

  1. Buy online. Everyone saves $3, and you can pay with any card.

  2. Bring cash or a Discover card for snacks and souvenirs. The park doesn't take other cards.

  3. Coolers aren't allowed in the water park, so plan lunch in the picnic grove before you head over.

  4. Going four times or more? The $165 season pass beats four $43 tickets.

  5. Babies under 24 months get in free, but only for the Safari, Carousel, Train and Water Park.
