If you've ever visited a theme or water park in a large group, you know there's fun in numbers!

Attending as a group is also cheaper as well!

Most parks offering discounted ticket prices to larger groups. This makes a group outing to a theme park a no brainier for communities aiming to offer extra value to their residents.

Best ticket prices

Depending on which local park you attend, you can expect to pay about 10% less per ticket for groups over 20 or so people. The requirements and restrictions for large groups vary from park to park. Do check with your local amusement park or waterpark for exact details.  

Getting a discount on entry tickets frees up more cash for residents to spend on things like refreshments and souvenirs. This makes for an overall more enjoyable, entertaining, and memorable experience!

Additionally, if you plan your event in off-season timings, you can sometimes score additional discounts and perks during bookings (or even better group rates.)

Charter a bus for less stress

To offer even more value to residents, you can charter transportation to and from the theme park. This will save on individual parking fees.

Chartering transportation will also help you keep track of your group, save on gas, and ensure a quick and safe arrival for all your residents.

**BONUS** Some group bookings allow a single bus to park for free. Other parks even comp. a ticket and meal to the driver or organizer of the group!

Charting group transportation means less stress for families. It can also turn the travel to and from the park into part of the adventure!

Plan a full day of activities

Not everyone will want to ride the rides together, but you can build a few check-in times into your schedule!

Reconvening as a group for mealtimes is a great way to encourage your residents to share their experiences and connect as a community.

One last meet-up for coffee or tea in the afternoon or evening before leaving is your best bet for making sure no man, woman, or child gets left behind.

Make sure everyone knows what time the bus is leaving and keep everyone's phone numbers handy if you have to call or hunt down any residents.

A group outing to a theme or water park is a great way to offer additional experiences and value to your residents. It will keep them excited to be a part of your resident community year after year. Have a great trip!
