Ways To Save At Theme Parks

In the heat of the summer, the kids are bored and look for things to entertain themselves. One thing that they really enjoy is theme parks. However, the admission ticket can be very expensive. However, there are certain ways that you can save on your outing to a theme park in your local vicinity, if you follow these simple tips.

5 Ways to Save Money at Theme Parks

1. Plan Ahead- You can save a bundle off of your theme park tickets if you purchase them ahead of time- in other words, do not wait until you are at the gate in order to buy your tickets. You will then pay full price. Some places such as a grocery store or drug store offer discounts on theme park tickets.
2. Check online for discount offers- Go to the websites social network page. Sometimes they offer a special discount to those who follow them. Often you can score a discount of 30% or more.
3. Timing- You could also choose to go near the end of the season or when the weather is cooler. Theme parks that have water rides are packed to the gills during the heat of the summer when the kids are out of school. You could also head to the park in the early evening. Some places will offer daily discounts if you arrive later in the evening.
4. Take a backpack- Pack your sunscreen, water, camera, swimsuit, towel, and hat. Remember to take a sweater as well for when the weather gets cool. Carry the backpack around with you in order to forego the charge for the locker.
5. Skip Pictures- Skip the offer of picture taking at the theme park. Attendants offer to take a picture of you on the rides. This can be quite costly, especially if you plan to buy eats at the park as well.

These 5 ways will help you to save some cash when you head out to visit your local theme parks. You could also buy a season pass if you plan to go to the same park more than one visit a year.
