Ways to Save at ValleyScare

OK, so how do you save at ValleyScare? We have a special offer!

To help you get the best deal, we have a special link to purchase discounted tickets which we have shared for years and thousands of readers have used it to buy tickets, but unfortunately this year corporate policies say we’re only allowed to share the link with our newsletter subscribers.

If you join our newsletter list here, we will send you the discount ticket link immediately! You’re free to unsubscribe at any time, but I think once you see a newsletter you’ll stick around for the deals, freebies and fun Minnesota events we include in each one. (If you already get the newsletter, find the special link near the bottom.)

I admit it can be a bit confusing looking at these discount tickets and the prices currently available on the Valleyfair website as they continue to change.

When buying tickets directly from the Valleyfair website they charge tax and also a processing fee fee of $8.99 per order. If you’re buying 2 tickets, the final price on the Valleyfair website is $93.67.

Through our special link tax is already included and the handling fee is $2 per ticket, making the total for 2 tickets $89.98.

I’m still hoping that a Groupon deal comes along before ValleyScare season ends because it’s always the best deal, but as of yet there isn’t one. I’ll update as soon as/if one happens!

PS – If you’re only going for Tricks and Treats, fall daytime admission is much less: just $29.99 for a single day visit ($19.99 for junior or senior admission). This does not include ValleyScare admission so you’ll need to leave the park before the evening festivities begin.

PPS – Scout Days and Youth Sports Days are also coming up in which admission starts at $28.
