The best way to purchase a Season Pass is online here. When the park opens, you will be able to purchase a Season Pass by visiting Guest Services at the park on any operating day or by calling 619-943-ELMO.
You can visit the Ticket Windows at the front of the park Guest Services at the park to upgrade your ticket to a Season Pass. Upgrades are available only at the park. If you wish to pay in full for the upgrade to a Season Pass, the price of your ticket will be applied to price of the Season Pass and you pay the difference.
After you purchase your Season Pass, you will receive an email containing a PDF of your Season Pass. You can print this out or display this on your phone to be scanned at the front gate and to receive your in-park discounts.
For future visits, we recommend accessing your barcodes from your mobile device. Log in to the Season Pass Member website, click the "Account" tab and scroll down to view your barcodes. These barcodes can be used to enter the park and receive in-park discounts. Apple device users may also add them to their Apple Wallet.
If you wish to receive a wallet-size version of your Season Pass, please visit Guest Services to have it printed.
To update your payment information, please log in to the Season Pass Member website with your username and password and click on “Account Page” to update your information.
Reprints will be issued at any ticket window. Adults must present valid government-issued photo identification in order to receive their reprinted Season Passes.
