Darien Lake's fall weekends of Kids Boo Fest ran through Oct 11, according to local news reports. The park hasn't posted its 2027 opening day yet, but 2027 Gold Passes are on sale now.
There is no Fright Fest at Darien Lake in 2026. The park confirmed the cancellation in September and ran Kids Boo Fest on fall weekends instead.
A day ticket is $29 online versus $70 at the gate. Add $30 to park and one visit costs $59 instead of $100.
The 2027 Gold Pass is $79 with free parking. That's less than two day visits, and it also gets you into Cedar Point, Kings Island and Canada's Wonderland.

My take: nobody beats the park's own $29. For two visits or a trip to Cedar Point, the $79 Gold Pass wins.– John
We couldn't find a public promo code for Darien Lake. The online price is already $41 under the gate, no code needed.
Day tickets use the $29 online price the park lists now. Parking uses the "starting from" $30 general price, one car. Taxes excluded.

Tickets are only part of it. Here's a day for a family of four.
No outside food or drinks inside the park, except baby food and dietary needs. You can bring a soft-sided cooler with bottled water only. Picnic in your car, at Sunshine Lake or at the outdoor picnic tables. This comes from BenefitHub's listing; the park's own FAQ page didn't load for us.
The water park is included with Darien Lake admission and with both 2027 passes during its summer season.
Darien Lake has its own lodge, campground and RV sites next to the park. Check the park's overnight packages for current rates.
Two visits on day tickets cost $118 with parking. The Gold Pass is $79. Easy math.– John
Buy the 2027 Gold Pass. At $79 with free parking, it costs less than two day visits.
Planning a Cedar Point trip? The Gold Pass from Darien Lake covers it. Activate it at Darien Lake first.
Never buy at the gate. The same ticket is $29 online and $70 at the window.

Pack a soft cooler with bottled water. That's allowed, and it saves a few bucks every visit.
Not a public one as of October 2026. The online price of $29 is already $41 under the $70 gate price, no code needed.
