Pass holder FAQs
When can I visit the Park? Can I re-enter?
Pass holders may visit at any time, please proceed to the front gate. Additionally, pass holders are allowed re-entry into the park should you want to leave and come back the same day.
Can my kids with an annual pass come by themselves?
Children 14 and older are permitted to come alone, but we ask parents to ensure that their children understand the park rules which are posted throughout the park and at each attraction.

New or renewing pass holders can check in at the regular redemption line at the base cashier booth. Set up involves redeeming your purchase, setting up your pass and card, signing a waiver and taking a picture for your card.
