Kings Dominion Discounts and Coupons

King's Dominion Discount Coupons

1.) Coke Can discounts: It's an annual tradition: getting cheaper Kings Dominion tickets by bringing Coke cans to the park. At the time of this update (February, 2012) the park hasn't opened, and there's still no word about the Coke discount. But here's what happened last year:

For 2011, the Coke can discount worked like this--you could bring your Coke can to the Kings Dominion ticket booths for a $15 per ticket discount.

Last year's rules stated that you may get the same discount by using either a "specially marked" can of Coca Cola OR a regular UNmarked can of Coca Cola. That way, it was easier on the guests; they didn't have to hunt around for the specially-marked cans of Coke (which had the coupon printed on them.) Also last year, you could use cans of Sprite and other Coke products, such as Diet Coke. There was a limit of 6 Coke discount tickets per customer. (Obviously, if you needed more than six tickets, you could simply bring another Coke can & have one of your friends be a different customer.)

Ways that you COULDN'T use the Coke discount last year: The biggest disappointment is that you could NOT combine your Coca Cola can savings with any other discount; the Coke discount can ONLY be used when purchasing full-priced tickets. So, you couldn't get the cheaper King's Dominion print-at-home tickets & still use the Coke can discount. Also, make sure if you're not bringing a Coke can, that the can you bring isn't actually a Pepsi product. Sprite & Mr Pibb are Coke products...but Mountain Dew & Sierra Mist, for example, are not.

3.) Look for coupons being sent to last year's season pass holders! Did you have a King's Dominion season pass last year? (Or, a Cedar Fair all-parks pass which you purchased at King's Dominion?) Then, check your mailbox carefully, because coupons will be sent out that are good for very cheap King's Dominion tickets! These are single-day tickets good for selected dates only, but even so, this will be a terrific deal!

What's the catch? There really isn't a catch. King's Dominion has statistics which show that former season pass holders renew them at a high rate. They simply wish to lure former passholders back into the park...which will very likely tempt them to purchase a King's Dominion season pass again for 2012! The entire amount that you pay per ticket when using this coupon can be counted towards a 2012 season pass purchase if you DO decide to get one! So, what's not to like about this special deal? The only restriction on this coupon is that it can't be used to purchase Junior or Senior tickets, which are already substantially discounted compared to the full-priced adult tickets.

Print-at-home ticket Specials:

1.) The King's Dominion general print-at-home discount for 2012 will be $10 per ticket. This will be available at all times during the 2012 season, so that if you simply take the time to plan ahead, you can take advantage of this web-only special.

2.) 3-day advance purchase discount: If you purchase your ticket online a full 3 days in advance of your visit, you can save even MORE money! You'll receive $15 off the price of your ticket rather than the standard $10 print-at-home discount.

3.) Twilight Discount: If you plan to enter King's Dominion after 4 pm, then you can save money by purchasing the park's own Twilight Ticket online.

Other Print at Home Discounts: As the year progresses, there are expected to be other online discounts made available. Towards the beginning of the season, the park likes to push season passes, so that's where the biggest specials are right now. But later on, we should see some other types of discounts promoted by King's Dominion, such as the ones they had last year. These included discounts such as "Pink Days" discount tickets, Two Day Ticket specials, and Value Passes.

7.) Military Discounts: King's Dominion has an annual Military Salute special. It hasn't yet been announced as of this update...but here are the details about the 2011 Salute (so that you may keep alert for what might happen this year.) In 2011, the Salute to the Military took place over Memorial Day Weekend. Active or retired members of the military enjoyed a FREE King's Dominion ticket on May 28th, 29th or 30th, 2011! This included ALL branches of the military, including the National Guard and Reserves. (Proper ID was needed at the park to claim the free ticket.) Only the actual military member got free admission, BUT...each military personnel could purchase up to 6 tickets for friends & family members at a special discount price.

9.) Virginia Parks & Rec discounts: Special discount tickets can once again be purchased at terrific discounts in 2012. The actual amount of your discount will depend on what day you visit King's Dominion. For many dates this, you'll be able to purchase tickets for only $31 each. For other days, you'll still be able to get the very good discount rate of $40. Check your local branch for information, or please see the King's Dominion Discounts page of the Virginia Recreation & Park Society website.

10.) Maryland Parks & Rec discounts: Members of the Maryland Recreation and Parks Association are also eligible for cheap King's Dominion tickets. At the time of this update, their 2012 information was not available. Last year's ticket rates were only $31 to $41 each, depending on the date you visited the park. If you'd like to check to see if the 2012 information has become available since we updated this page, here's a link to the Maryland Recreations and Parks website.

11.) North Carolina Parks & Rec discounts: Similar to the Virginia and Maryland discounts, members of the North Carolina Recreation & Park Association may also be eligible for discounted Kings Dominion tickets (and Carowinds tickets, too!) 2012 information was not available at the time of this update. You may check the North Carolina Recreation and Parks website to see if that information has come available since we last updated this page.

Season Passes at Kings Dominion

While it can be hard to predict how many times you will go to Kings Dominion, this question is very important to see if a season pass is the best option for you. The math is simple though. A one day admission ticket costs 59.99, or else $49.99 when purchased online. The Silver Annual Pass to King's Dominion costs quite a bit less than double that amount.

Knowing this information, you can see that even if you only go 2 days in the entire operating season, you'll save money if you get a season pass. If you go 3 days or more in the 2012 season, a season pass will save you more and more money with each and every visit.

Here are the available season passes at Kings Dominion this year:

1.) 2012 Silver Pass: Good for admission to most rides and attractions throughout the 2012 operating season. What it doesn't cover: Parking; Halloween Haunt admission; and extra-fee attractions, such as the park's new "Dinosaurs Alive!" Dinosaur exhibit.

2.) 2012 Gold Pass: The King's Dominion Gold pass gives you admission AND free parking every day of the 2012 season. What's not covered: Extra-fee attractions, like the new Dinosaur Alive!

3.) 2012 Platinum Pass: At $169.00 adults and $92.00 junior/senior, this pass is the most expensive of the bunch, but well worth it if you can use the benefits. The big difference between other season passes and the Platinum pass is that only the Platinum pass allows you to go to other Cedar Fair parks... and with free parking at all of them. As you can see on cedarfair.com website (Kings Dominion's parent company), there are several very popular parks throughout the country that this pass will get you into. If you plan on going to any one of them, this pass will be a great deal for you. If you live in the area, then the big three parks that will be closest are Kings Dominion, Dorney Park, and Carowinds. The world famous Knotts Berry Farm, and Cedar Point theme parks are also some of the other parks that are included. It is exciting to think about going to another park, because Cedar Fair operates some of the world's best theme parks. However, if you are not going to go to others enough to make the extra cost of the Platinum Pass pay for itself, then the either the Silver or the Gold pass would be the most cost effective option for you.

4.) 4 Or More deals: Each one of the passes are cheaper if you can buy 4 or more of them at the same time online. At $5 to $10 dollars off per pass, it is a significant savings when you total it all up. If you have some friends or family members who want to get passes too, this will save some $$$. Note: only one credit or debit card can be used for the entire transaction, so your friends will have to pay you their share of the bill.
