Visiting Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California is a fun experience for many reasons. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom offers rides, shows, and attractions for all age groups. Additionally, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has exhibits featuring many animal favorites, like tigers and Killer Whales. This theme park makes a great destination for a day of fun, and saving money on your visit can make it an affordable experience, as well. To save money on a trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, consider the following tips!

Look For Ticket Discounts
At various times during the year, discounts on Six Flags Discovery Kingdom tickets can be found. Sometimes a discount is offered on Coke products. At other times, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom offers ticket discounts on their website (buying online is always cheaper than buying at the gates). AAA members get a $5 discount per ticket.

Avoid Attractions That Cost Extra
When trying to save money on your trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, it's beneficial to avoid any attractions that cost extra money. This park has several attractions that require payment of extra fees beyond your general admission cost, including the Go-Karts and any animal feeding experiences. If your goal is to save money while in the park, then be sure to explain to all members of your group which attractions you'll be avoiding.

Bring Your Own Food to the Park
There's no doubt about it, the food inside Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is seriously overpriced and of only mediocre quality. For example, one meal "deal" consists of 4 hot dogs and 4 drinks for the astounding price of $44! To escape high food prices in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, consider bringing prepared sandwiches, snacks, and drinks to the park. You will not be permitted to bring the food inside the park, but leaving your meal in a cooler in the car and simply eating at your vehicle is worth the hassle if you want to save money when you visit Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

Bring Your Own Souvenirs
A great way to save money on your trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is to opt out of buying souvenirs. This can be a challenge, especially if there will be small children in your group. The best way to avoid meltdowns in the park when it comes to small kids and souvenirs is to simply bring your own goodies along. Having items like glow-in-the-dark necklaces, lollipops, or small stuffed animals in your purse can go a long way towards appeasing a small child when they see lots of fun items in the park.

Saving money on your trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom doesn't have to be complicated. Just follow these tips and enjoy your theme park experience for a lot less money!
