When it comes to getting out and having a good time, water parks and amusement parks are popular destinations for couples, groups of friends and families. And millions upon millions of people visit the most popular amusement and water parks across the U.S. each year.
Modern Money Etiquette:
But the most popular parks are often the ones with the most expensive price tags, which can be difficult for families on less flexible budgets to swing — especially if they plan to do additional fun activities during the months of May through September.
But just because you can’t afford to take the family to Walt Disney World or Aquatica this year doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Plenty of affordable water parks and amusement parks across the U.S. are open to visit, and some are two-for-ones — offering admission to both an amusement park and a water park by paying one low price per ticket.
It’s also helpful to note that if you’re planning on visiting an amusement or water park more than one day in a row, your per-day price will often be lower. And some parks even offer the next consecutive day of admission free with the purchase of each full-price ticket. Additionally, many parks offer season passes, which can really help you save if you plan to visit more than once during the season.
To help you sort out the best deals this season, here’s information for 10 of the most affordable water parks and amusement parks in the U.S.
