Little ways to save
Arrive after 3 PM on a Saturday and you can come back Sunday free, which turns a $65 ticket into two days.
If you'll visit twice, the $150 adult pass beats two $65 tickets, and the 2027 pass works for the rest of this October.
Buy online. Phone orders add $2 per ticket, and the AAA or military discount is only at the ticket window.
Ghost Train sells out on peak October weekends, so book ahead.
