Buy a Vehicle Permit
Since Bunker Beach is located inside Bunker Hills Regional Park (part of the Anoka County Parks system), you’ll need to pay a vehicle entrance fee each time you visit ($7 per day).
If you’re planning to visit a bunch of times, you can save on this expense by purchasing an annual permit for $30. This permit is valid at all Anoka County regional parks as well as regional parks in Washington and Carver counties.
If you’re just planning to drop off, a 10-minute pass is available at no charge.
Go with a Group
If you have a group of 25 or more, you can get in for $16.25 per person when you make a reservation at least two weeks prior to your arrival date. They also have meal vouchers available if you so choose for $11.50/person.
Visit After 4 pm
Bunker Beach offers Twilight Admission after 4 pm daily. General Admission costs $16.25 (normally $20.50) and senior citizens ages 62 and over get in for $14.25 (normally $16.25). Babies under 18 months of age are always free of charge.
Use a $3 Off Coupon
In the past there has been a Bunker Beach booth at the Anoka County Fair (July 21 – 26) with a $3 off coupon. Admission coupons have also popped up in Valpak fliers in past years.
Use a $5 Off Coupon
If you’re a Connexus Energy member, watch your June billing statement for a $5 off coupon! This printed coupon can be used to save $5 on up to four (4) general or senior admissions. It is not valid after 4 pm.
Buy a Season Pass
If you’re planning to visit Bunker Beach several times, it may be in your best interest to buy a season pass. 2026 Season Passes are available for $162 per person and $128 per person for senior citizens (ages 62+).
These passes would pay for themselves in 8 visits (that’s going off of the regular admission price). Season pass holders also have a separate entrance line for quick access.
*SEASON PASS SALE* If you’re interested in a season pass, NOW is the best time to get yours! Save 15% on all season passes from December 3 – 31, 2025. If you miss that deadline, you can still save 10% on all season passes through February 15, 2026.
With the discount, you’ll pay $137.70 for a regular season pass, which pays for itself in 7 visits!
