Kings Dominion VA Discount Tickets 2012

Looking for discounts to Kings Dominion? There are many ways to get discount tickets to amusements parks including Kings Dominion. We will be constantly scouting for these discounts and posting them here.

It is always a good idea to purchase theme park tickets before you go to the park. Often beverage vendors offer discounts with their product containers or labels. Chain restaurants like subway often have Busch Gardens tickets at a discount.

A 400 acre theme park near Richmond, Virginia featuring numerous roller coasters, thrill rides, water rides, Nickelodeon-themed rides and activities for all ages.

Another great strategy is getting a group of people together and purchasing tickets at a group rate. Getting a group of people at work is one way.

Go to Virginia Beach Vacation Market - Here's how to get a single day Paramounts Kings Dominion discount ticket for about $10 less than the usual price! The trick is, you'll have to go to Virginia Beach to get it.

Here's what you do: Go to Virginia Beach and stop in one of the three Vacation Market locations along Atlantic Avenue (the strip one block in from the beachfront). Buy a one-day single admission ticket there. It'll cost you @$50 instead of $56.99...PLUS you won't have to pay tax. So you'll save about $8 per ticket.

Try a local Parks & Rec Center - Most Virginia Parks & Rec Departments sell Paramounts Kings Dominion discount tickets. For years, the best deal was found at the Richmond's Landmark Theater. BUT after making a year of increasingly making their website totally confusing and incomprehensible they've taken things a step further by deleting all discount ticket info from their site. Darn. Another victim of budget cuts. Too bad.

Still, other local Parks & Rec centers continue to offer discount tickets good for certain summer days (called "P&R" Days). Try Prince George County (call 804-733-2646 for details), Henrico County (http://www.co.henrico.va.us/departments/rec/theme-park-tickets/), and Albemarle County.

Food - Three words: Bring your own (when possible). The food in Paramounts Kings Dominion is very expensive, especially for the quality (or lack thereof).

So, eat a huge breakfast and/or bring a backpack of snacks (no chocolate--it'll melt). Keep in mind that the park says that "no food or drink is allowed in the park" (their way to try to force you to buy food there).

So make sure you, er, make them invisible. (I use a small backpack-sized purse that holds a bottle of water and a few snacks inconspicuously.)

Another option is to bring a picnic lunch in a cooler and leave it in the car for later. Get your hand stamped and you can take a break in the middle of the day to go out to your car and eat.

Another alternative: get your hand stamped and leave the park for lunch in nearby Ashland.

Water - Drink lots and bring your own. Bottled water is equally expensive in the park, so bring your own in a backpack. Plan on three bottles per person at the height of the summer. Or, just bring one and fill it up at water fountains.
