Park Discounts for ACE Members
Some parks offer discounts or special privileges to all ACE members. The
following discounts are offered for 2011 with a valid ACE membership
card and are available to all membership types. Note that the park discounts
for 2012 have not yet been announced by the parks. This page as well as
ACE News will be updated with news about the discounts for 2012 as
we receive updates from the parks.
Note that some of the details about some of the discounts are available
only when logged in as an ACE member. To view the details of those discounts,
click on the appropriate link and then you will be redirected to our login
page. Once you have logged in, you will be returned to this page and the
details will be visible.
These discounts have been graciously offered by the parks as benefits
to ACE members. For discounts that require providing a discount code to
purchase tickets, do not share the discount code with non-members or post
the code to any web site as the continuation of such offers may be jeopardized
if the park discovers that the information has been wrongfully distributed.
