Discounts on Theme Park Tickets
In a recession, what’s better than a deal? I’ll be using this post to share any deals that I come across. And I invite the readers to share any coupons, discounts, or promotions that they find too. In past years, I’ve scanned and posted coupons to parks in my area of the country including Hershey Park, Busch Gardens Europe, & Kings Dominion.

General Discount Ticket & Coupon Tips
Check local grocery stores, pharmacies, and fast food restaurants for discount tickets. Even if you don’t live in the area you’re visiting, with a little internet research you can found out where tickets may be cheaper or what stores offer coupons. I bought my Cedar Point ticket at a Meijer in Sandusky and picked a coupon to Lake Compounce at a Burger King in Connecticut.
When I don’t go the coupon route I head online to save some money. Tickets are always a few dollars cheaper online. (Even 50% cheaper in the case of Magic Mountain above!) So I always buy tickets and season passes through the park’s websites. Just print your tickets out at home and skip the lines at the ticket booth. And, if you forget a ticket or loose them, parks can reprint them at the guest relations desk.

You can also save even more money if you or someone you know's in the military. They have huge discounts… I'm not sure of the exact prices, but they apparently beat the ones you can get at Parks and Rec.
Oh, and about that… my dad goes to like the courthouse to get tickets. I don't really know. Haha.

Freestyle Music Park seemss like they have a new deal every day. I mean its like they are trying to get more people there by lowering the ticket prices like every day. My favorite deal i think would be the Carowinds deal. That is just flat out cheap…which is good on my part
