Where to Find Discounts & Coupons

• Elitch Gardens currently has a deal on a season pass, not only is it $10 dollars off it includes parking (and if I read it right that includes VIP parking to the first 300 guests-a $20 dollar value, it's $15 dollars for regular parking) and both parks. Along with that you will receive three bring a friend tickets, the catch, you have to use them by June 16th afterwards you only can use two bring a friends and only on Tuesday and Wednesday. There are also other perks including a coupon book good for food and games and such.
