Guests should plan extra travel time and drive with care.
Will my Annual Pass be extended?
Yes! To make sure you still get your full year of Park access, all Passholders who had an active pass at the time of the closure will automatically have their pass extended by the number of days you missed during the closure. Plus, we’ll round it up to the end of your new expiration month so you can squeeze in a few extra visits. It’s our way of saying thanks for sticking with us. Your extension begins June 27, whether you visit right away or later.
