The time to deliver your confirmation email (with ticket attachments) can vary depending on your email service provider.
- Why are discounted 1-day tickets sold by age online and by height at the front gate?
Certain Park attractions have a minimum-height restriction, so guests under 48 inches (122 cm) tall of any age qualify for a discounted admission price* on our general admission tickets at the front gate.
To simplify the buying process online, guests ages 3-9 qualify for our discounted admission price*. All guests 2 and under enter for free.
Certain ticket types (for example, Annual Passes) are offered with just one price for all guests. For these products, there is no height-based nor age-based discount version.
* The height-based discount cannot be combined with any other discount, promotion or special offer.

- How will you determine who is under 48 inches (122 centimeters) tall?
This topic is relevant to tickets purchased at the Front Gate ticket booths, not via the online store where tickets are sold by age.
There are signs around the front entrance of the Park that will enable guests and Park employees to determine if someone qualifies for the height discount or not. The height-based discount cannot be combined with any other discount, promotion or special offer.
The measuring devices being used take average shoe height into account. Guest will be measured with their shoes on. There is some leniency built into the measuring signs to allow for shoes.
Note that adults are also eligible for the same discounted admission if they are under 48″ tall.
- Do I have to purchase a ticket for my baby?
Children 2 years old or younger are allowed to enter the Park for free (no ticket needed).
