Amusement Park Discount Coupons
From LoveToKnow Themeparks
Finding amusement park discount coupons is a great way to make a theme park getaway more affordable. With different types of coupons available and many ways to get them, the savings can add up faster than a roller coaster.
Types of Coupons
There are several types of coupons and discounts offered by amusement parks:
- Discounts on gate admission ticket prices
- Free parking offers
- Buy one get one free offers for merchandise, games, or admission tickets
- Free ticket vouchers
Individual discounts can be challenging to find for specific parks, however, and savvy visitors who know how to find the best deals can score great savings when they visit theme and amusement parks.
Where to Find Amusement Park Discount Coupons
There are several places to find amusement park coupons and discount offers, including:
- Websites: The park’s official website is the best resource for legitimate coupon and discount offers. Discounts may be available by purchasing tickets online or by printing coupons to bring to the park.
- Foods: Many amusement parks offer discount deals on popular snack food, cereal, and soda packages. Specially marked packages are often arranged in themed displays during the summer months or while the promotion is valid.
- Brochures: Park brochures may include discount coupons for cheap amusement park tickets, free parking, and other offers.
- Travel Guides: Local and regional travel guides – available through state tourism departments or individual tourism boards – often feature a wide selection of coupons and discounts for theme park and other attractions.
- Online Codes: Coupon codes can make online ticket purchases even cheaper by offering substantial discounts.
- Wholesale Clubs: Wholesale and discount club retailers such as Costco and Sam’s Club may have coupons and cheap tickets available for members.
- Online Auctions: Season passholders and other individuals may sell coupons and discount vouchers through online auction sites such as eBay or Craigslist. While these can be good deal, buyers should exercise caution when looking for discounts through these types of sales.
Some websites also offer tips for amusement park discounts. Check out these popular sites for savings:
Choosing the Best Coupons
When searching for amusement park discount coupons, buyers need to be aware that not every coupon is suitable for their vacation plans. Always investigate offers carefully to be sure they are legitimate, and check any expiration or blackout dates, restrictions, purchase requirements, and other guidelines to ensure it is the best possible deal. Also double check to be sure the coupon is valid at the right park – a generic “Six Flags” coupon, for example, may not be valid at all the different Six Flags theme park locations.
More Ideas for Discounts
In addition to coupon discount offers, there are many other ways to save money at amusement parks.
- Combination Tickets: Many parks offer discounted tickets when combined with admission to other local attractions. This can be a great deal for a vacation or to explore different attractions.
- Season Passes: Guests who will be able to visit a park more than once can save the most by purchasing a season pass. Most season passes pay for themselves in less than five visits, and they can even be useful for guests who do not live near a park but who will be exploring it for several days during vacation. Some parks, such as Cedar Point, also offer specialized passes that include admission to other parks in the same chain, which can make the savings add up even faster.
- Specialized Discounts: Many theme parks offer additional discounts for students, military personnel, AAA members, or senior citizens. These savings may be even better deals than coupon offers.
- Eliminate Parking: Park guests who stay at nearby hotels may be able to walk to the park or take advantage of complimentary shuttles to avoid paying exorbitant parking fees.
- Skip the Snacks: Amusement park food has high prices and often low nutritional benefits – skip the park food and opt for a picnic or off-site meal that will be a better value.
- Avoid Games: Playing games may be fun, but the prizes often end up on closets or garage sales. Instead of spending money to play games, choose a better quality, more useful souvenir from a park gift shop.
Amusement park discount coupons can make a visit to a theme park more affordable, but there are many different ways to save on a theme park getaway even if coupons are not available.
