Getting ready for an upcoming exciting theme park vacation for the whole family? It can be even more fun if you can save money before and during your excursion!
- Visit in between Seasons: Early spring and late fall are often times to score great family deals!
- Social Media: Follow your favorite parks on social media so you don’t miss out on offers and deals.
- Smaller Theme Parks: Smaller parks can often run $50 per person per day ($100 for large parks) and can be really fun and with smaller waiting lines for going on rides.
- Look for Package Deals: Multi-day deals will always decrease your cost per person per day.
- Special Brand Discounts: Look for online and store discounts from AAA, the Military, Unions, and Seniors. Avoid buying tickets on Craigslist and eBay as they are too big of a counterfeit risk.
- Book a room with a kitchen: There’s no need to eat 3 meals out every day! It’s much easier and healthier to eat 1 or 2 meals in per day.
- Bring water and snacks into the park: You can buy a $5 case of water for the price they will charge for 1 bottle.
- Consider buying souvenirs in town: You pay a premium every time inside the park for impulse purchases. Try going to the town stores, Target, supermarket etc and the identical goods are often available for half price.
