Ginevra Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 What's the cheapest route for advance-purchase tickets, or the best coupon for park admission? Thanks! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Giant has run specials on them before. I don't know if those are the *best* deals, but they seem pretty good. Also, one year, a local newspaper ran a program where the kids could do a few activities that involved looking for stuff in the paper, and when they sent it in, they got a free ticket. ETA: The Giant special also came with one free parking pass, which was worth $8. It's been three years since we went though, so IDK if prices have gone up.

I don't know if they have any now, but when we went a few years ago, Giant had the best deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Do you happen to be going this month? If so, they are having their "homeschool month" and tickets are WAY cheaper if you go on one of those days! However, they have to be paid for in advance, I think by like May 16th or something so you'd have to look into it right away. Other than that, not sure how you can go about getting discounted tickets (I know, they're expensive!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 :iagree: We're going on Friday with the super-discounted "homeschool month" tickets :D I was sent a flyer directly from Hershey Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Oh, man! Am I too late to do the homeschool thing? Shoot, I don't think I could do that Friday anyway; too many things to finish up. Bah! I was planning to go early June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The homeschool thing is not just on one day, it's all month, but you have to buy the tickets by like the 16th. They have an order form online. But also FYI I happened to eat at Subway for lunch today and they had Hershey discount coupons there :D So I grabbed one for you. If you are going in June, you can save $12.00 off regular admission. It says you can go online at hersheypark.com and you can put in the coupon code online which seems to be 15632, and it's good for up to 8 admissions.

astrid Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 OH! We're going in June! We live in CT, though-- I wonder if there's anything on the Subway website, or if it's just local franchises? astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Nancy - Thanks! How extremely awesome! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 You're welcome. :) Astrid, not sure, but I grabbed a coupon for myself, too, and the coupon code number is the same on that one, so I think anybody who wants to can go to Hershey Park's website and use that code online to get that deal.

saja1029 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I think I saw Hershey discount coupons at Dunkin Donuts :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlmom Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 They used to have a deal where you could buy tickets for the next day and then go in 3 hours before the park closed the night before. So you could go in for free at 7 pm with your next day's tickets. The other park that they own still does this so I'm sure they probably do too. Have fun!
