Travel Tips

FREE Museum Pass Program South San Francisco / Daly City / San Bruno / Millbrae, Pacifica & other San Mateo County library card holders.

Purchase your tickets before you arrive from AAA, Under Cover Tourist, ARES travel (online slight discount) or from your hotel before you get to the park. You don’t want the first line you stand in to be the ticket window. Arrive at the front gate with ticket in hand 45 minutes before the park officially opens. Arriving early is the key to getting on a lot of rides quickly. If traveling with younger children then you should try to do Fantasyland rides first. These are low capacity rides with no G+.
