Current dates for 2023:

The digital pass is a barcode you access on your mobile device in place of a paper or plastic card.  It allows you to enter the Park quicker, receive your discounts in the gift shop, etc. You can access your barcodes by clicking the link in your confirmation email from your season pass purchase. 

Did you purchase a Silver or Gold Season Pass? You’ll also have digital passes for some of your perks such as Single Day tickets and goat feedings that can be redeemed throughout the season! 

• You will receive unlimited visits to Tanganyika during the season purchased. You’ll also have access to the Tanganyika Falls Splash Park during regular hours (open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day Weekend)
  
  Plus, we offer a variety of discounts for Season Pass Holders: 
  • 10% off Gift Shop
  • 10% off Food and Beverages 
  • 10% off Special Events like Twilight Tour and Pumpkins at the Park
  • 10% off Birthday Parties, Day Camps, and Summer Camps
  • $5 off Admission for guests that visit with you!
   
  To receive your discounts, you will present your digital pass at the register to be scanned.

You can purchase season passes online, over the phone (316-794-8954), or come by Tanganyika to purchase them.

We no longer require reservations to visit the Park! Keep in mind the Park will be busier during Spring Break and holidays. 

We don’t mail out season pass cards.  However, you can use digital passes or print out your own cards by accessing them through them through your email.

Did you purchase a Silver or Gold Season Pass? Visit the Perks Booth on your first visit to receive your printed card!

The best way is to purchase or upgrade your pass to the Gold or Silver level.  The Silver Pass includes 5 feedings each time you visit, and the Gold Pass includes unlimited feedings each time you visit.  Plus, the Gold Pass doesn’t require you to make reservations for the hippo feeding, rhino feeding, or lemur island.  Both of them have also been bundled with tons of other perks.

Otherwise, you will have the option to purchase an Encounter wristband (5 feedings for $10) or Unlimited wristband (unlimited feedings for the day, for $25) during your visit. This wristband is not shareable and is for the person wearing it. 

The season pass is only good for visits during normal business hours.  It does not include admission to special events like Twilight Tour or Pumpkins at the Park.  However, it does entitle you to discounts on special events mentioned above.

Your child does not need an ID to be checked in.  However, we recommend that their photo is uploaded on their pass so we can ensure it is them. 

The Season Passes will expire at the end of the season they were purchased, which is generally in November. 

• You do not need a pass for a child until they turn 3 years old, and guests over 90 will receive free entry to the Park. 
• You can still have your child under 3 on your account and assign them a Baby Season Pass. Any child 3 years and older requires a children’s admission.

Each person needs to have their own season pass, and instead of having a one-size-fits-all or family option, we allow each person to choose which level is right for them.  So some of your family want to do animal feedings each time they visit, then a Silver Pass might be good for them.  If some of your family just want unlimited visits to the wildlife park and splash park during regular hours, then a Basic pass would work fine for them.  If you LOVE feedings, want to bring friends and family each time, feed as much as you want, and have access to all the VIP perks then a Gold Pass is definitely your option.  In other words, mix and match the levels that best fit your family and how you would connect. Don’t know what you need? Just reach out and we’re happy to help you find the best combo for you and your family!

 You do NOT need an ID (driver’s license, passport, etc) to purchase passes. However, adults will need a photo ID to enter the Park unless they have uploaded their photos to their account. 

Yes! You are able to upgrade your passes at any point during our season. Just ask one of our support team and they can assist you in your upgrade.
