I had a 2020 Season Pass. Can I still use it?

All 2020 Season Passes, except the Summer Saver, will include both the 2020 and 2021 seasons. 2020 Summer Saver Season Passes have expired and cannot be used in 2021.

Does my 2020 Season Pass get benefits in 2021?

Yes! Sandcastle will not issue new benefits to 2020 Season Passholders; instead, the expiration date on the 2020 benefits has been extended to the end of our 2021 season. That means unused finite benefits (such as buddy tickets) can be redeemed during the 2021 summer season, while reusable benefits (such as food and retail discounts) are included for 2020 Passholders.

What will happen with my Dining Pass?

Our plan is to ensure you receive equal value for any experience or benefit you missed out on this year due to COVID-19, such as the All Summer Dining Pass. All Summer Dining Passes and other add-ons will also be valid through the end of the 2021 Summer Season. Please note, we are no longer selling Dining Passes for the 2021 season.

I didn't use my tickets from 2020. What can I do?

Guests with questions about 2020 single-day tickets can email info@sandcastlewaterpark.com to connect with our Guest Services Department.
