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!
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

You can purchase season passes online, over the phone (316-794-8954), or come by Tanganyika to purchase them.
The season passes expire at the end of the season they were purchased, which is generally in November.
No. Each pass is for a single individual. For example, our family of five from above (John, Jane, Luke, Clare, and Anna) want to visit TWP using season passes, they would purchase five season passes; one for each person. They couldn't purchase three season passes to mix and match between them. For instance:
Allowed

John - Adult Season Pass
Jane - Adult Season Pass
Luke - Child Season Pass
Clare - Child Season Pass

If you have a situation that requires a different person to attend such as foster children, caregivers, etc, check out our new Guest Pass that can be added to the account.
We no longer require reservations to visit the Park! Keep in mind the Park will be busier during Spring Break and holidays.
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!
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.

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.
Popcorn Bucket - Preorder your popcorn bucket and enjoy $2 refills all season long!
Souvenir Cup - Purchase a souvenir cup to enjoy unlimited refills to fountain drinks, slushies, and more.
**Do you still have souvenir cups at home since 2020? Bring them back to the Park and "recharge" them for $9.99 to enjoy refills for the 2023 season without purchasing a new cup!**
The Guest Pass is not tied to a specific person like the Season Pass; it is transferable. This allows anyone to visit on that Guest Pass when attending with a season pass holder on the same account. You can use each Guest Pass once per day. The Guest Pass is just $149.99 and ideal for:
- Families that frequently take in different foster children
- Families that have a caregiver that may vary
- Grandparents with dozens of grandchildren, but only a few of them visit at a time
There isn't currently an option to purchase one pass that would include the entire family. It is something we have considered, but don't offer at this time.
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.
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.
