Looking for affordable family activities in the Philadelphia suburbs? Many township Parks and Recreation departments in Montgomery County, Chester County, Delaware County, and along the Main Line offer discounted tickets to popular regional attractions throughout the year.
Through partnerships with the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society (PRPS), families can often purchase reduced-price admission to well-known destinations like Dutch Wonderland, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Adventure Aquarium, and the Philadelphia Zoo, along with other amusement parks, waterparks, zoos, aquariums, and family attractions across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the Mid-Atlantic region.
These Parks and Recreation ticket discount programs help local families save money while planning fun outings, day trips, and seasonal adventures close to home.
How the Discount Ticket Programs Work
Many townships provide access to discounted attraction tickets through the PRPS online ticket portal. In most cases, you do not need to be a member to access the deals—simply skip the membership prompt and select “Buy Tickets.”
Depending on your township, tickets may be available in a few different ways:
- Online purchase with a printable ticket code
- Digital tickets delivered by email
- In-person purchases at your township Parks and Recreation office
Discounts can sometimes reach up to nearly 50% off standard gate prices, making these programs a great way to enjoy popular attractions without paying full admission.
