| Anaheim Hotel Deals San Diego Hotel Deals OC Hotel Deals Ticket Deal |
Tourists to Southern California almost ALWAYS visit more than one attraction while on vacation. The attraction-owners know this, and they want you to include THEIR attraction on your itinerary. Their biggest problem is that Southern California is FULL of attractions! Whether visitors are looking to enjoy a theme park, a museum, a family fun center, a boat tour, a zoo...or whatever their interest might be...there's ALWAYS more than one option available.
How can attraction-owners lure you to visit them? How to they put THEIR attraction on YOUR "must-see" list? One way is for them to join a multiple attraction discount program! By offering you a special deal, you might come to their attraction more readily...even if that attraction was only on your "maybe" list. You might even purchase souvenirs and food during your visit...earning them even more revenue! And you might have such a good time that you encourage your friends to see the attraction on their next California vacation.
Is it easy to find a multi-attraction discount plan which includes the attractions that YOU want to see? Yes, it is!
Every Southern California theme park and nearly every major Los Angeles and San Diego attraction is part of a multi-park discount deal. This works out to be a terrific deal for YOU! Who DOESN'T want to have more fun while spending less money!
Southern California discount ticket programs discussed on this page are:
* Go Cards--Los Angeles
* Go Cards--San Diego
* Southern California CityPass
* Hollywood CityPass
* Sea World & San Diego Zoo combo pass
Southern California "Go Card" Attraction Discounts
Los Angeles Go Card saves money at theme parks, museums & more!
You won't even BELIEVE how many different Southern California attractions are members of the Los Angeles Go Card discount ticket program.
The list of discount attractions is stunning. For LESS money (compared to buying full-price admission tickets,) you can enjoy MORE of the attractions you came to California to see!
How does the Go Card discount plan work? This is a VERY flexible plan. Ten different people could get 10 Los Angeles Go Cards...and each one might use his or her card in a different way!
*HERE'S HOW TO USE THE GO CARD'S LOS ANGELES ATTRACTIONS DISCOUNTS:
1.) Before leaving home, purchase your Go Card on-line. (Go Cards are not available at the attractions themselves...which is the biggest downfall of the Go Card discount program. You MUST "think ahead.") Choose from a 1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 day Go Card. You may visit as many attractions on the list as you can "fit" into the time period you selected. You will have 14 days in which you can complete your touring. (For example, if you bought a 5 day Go Card discount pass, you will need to get your 5 days of discount touring done within 14 days of the first time you use the card. If you're tired or the weather turns bad, simply skip a day or two of touring---no problem!)
2.) Have your Go Card mailed to your home...or, if there's not enough time before your trip, you may pick it up at the Go Card redemption center in Los Angeles.
3.) Present the Go Card instead of money at any member attraction on the list.

NOTE: Because the Los Angeles Go Card
is such a comprehensive and valuable discount plan, I've chosen it to be one of this website's sponsors. To find out more about how you can save on the listed tourist attractions, you may head to the Go Card Los Angeles website, using the advertising banner below. Each purchase from this ad will help www.Family-Vacation-Getaways.com keep growing. Thank you, in advance.
Go Card Sales: I've noticed that Go Cards go on sale about 2 weeks out of every 2 month period. Even without catching a sale, Go Cards are a good deal. But, if you buy during a sale period, they're a GREAT deal! If the Go Card you want isn't on sale today, check back again soon & maybe it will be! If you love sight-seeing, then you know how hard it is to find cheap tickets. But with a Go Card in your hand, it's finally possible to visit the attractions you want AND stay within your budget! I love Go Cards; whenever I need to show my guests around Southern California, I put in an order. I wouldn't be able to take them nearly so many places without Los Angeles Go Cards!
How to maximize your Go Card savings!
Here are some tips for reaping the greatest savings from your Los Angeles Go Card discount tickets:San Diego Go Card Discounts
Discount tickets to San Diego's most popular attractions!
Sea World San Diego is now a member of the San Diego Go Card program! If you've held off buying a San Diego Go Card because the city's biggest attraction---Sea World---wasn't part of the program, then you'll love hearing this news! Now ALL of San Diego's best tourist attractions are available in this ONE discount plan!Just like it's sister-card, the San Diego Go Card
discount program is very flexible. YOU decide the length of time you want to stay in the Go Card discount program...from between 1 to 7 days. And YOU pick the attractions you want to see, while ignoring the ones which don't interest you. You never have to pay for an inflexible discount ticket book in which some of the offers don't interest you. There's no wasted money; you only spend your time exactly where you wish to spend it.
San Diego's Go Card has (mostly) different attractions on its list than the Los Angeles GoCard. Would you like to spend a day touring Tijuana, Mexico? Grey Line is waiting to take you...all as a part of the Go Card discount program! Or, head out on a Gaslamp Quarter walking tour? Or a San Diego Harbor boat cruise? Or visit the museums of Balboa Park...or the San Diego Zoo...or the San Diego Wild Animal park? This program includes discount tickets to most everything you'd want to see in greater San Diego!
LIST OF SAN DIEGO GO CARD'S DISCOUNT ATTRACTIONS.
Zoos & Aquarium attractions: San Diego Zoo (you get the "Best Value" Ticket, which includes unlimited use of guided bus Tour, express Bus & Skyfari aerial tram); San Diego Wild Animal Park; Birch Aquarium at Scripps; Chula Vista Nature Center;

Note: The San Diego Go Card
is another one of this website's sponsors. If you wish to purchase this card, doing so via the ad below will help keep our website growing. Thank you in advance for your support. As I mentioned above, Go Cards have been a budget-stretcher for me when I take my visitors out & about to see Southern California. I hope you will like using them as much as I have.
San Diego Go Card sales: About every 2 months, the San Diego Go Card comes on sale. You'll always get a good deal buying a Go Card even at full price; but with a sale price, you'll get unbeatable deals on the attractions you want to see! If the San Diego Go Cards aren't on sale today, come back soon...and maybe they WILL be!
City Pass Discount Tickets
The Southern California CityPass
| Anaheim Hotel Deals San Diego Hotel Deals OC Hotel Deals Ticket Deal |
The City Pass Discount Programs...which are available for a number of different cities throughout the USA...are good multi-attraction discount coupons which save tourists money. Southern California is lucky because it has not only one City Pass program, but TWO! These are the Southern California CityPass and the Hollywood CityPass. The Hollywood City Pass, (which focuses on attractions in Hollywood, California only) will be discussed in the next section of this page. The Southern California CityPass is an even more lively discount program which focuses its energies on theme parks and zoos...ideal for family travelers!
The Southern California CityPass program gives you the following fun---
In total, you'll enjoy 6 days of fun...and pay less than you would if you purchased your attraction tickets separately!
Where do you purchase the Southern California CityPass discount tickets? Either at the CityPass website (see the link below on this page) or at any one of the attractions where you'll be using the coupons (Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Universal Studios, SeaWorld San Diego, and the San Diego Zoo.)
* Ticket Prices for the Southern California CityPass are---
$269.00 for adults
$229.00 for children 3--9. CityPass discount coupon prices are the same no matter where you buy them...whether at the theme park or on-line. And, they don't start their 2-week "expiration countdown" until you use the first ticket in the book. Therefore, you can be flexible. Buy your CityPass coupon books early to help stretch your trip's expenses across different paychecks. Or, wait until the last minute and purchase them when you get to the theme parks.
*Restrictions on the Southern California CityPass---
1) The 2010 Southern California CityPass plan is available through Dec 31, 2010
2) You only have 14 days from the date you first use one of the tickets until ALL the tickets in your book expire. While tourists and visitors to Southern California won't mind the 2-week time frame in which you can use the coupons, locals may feel a little rushed by having to use up the 6 discount tickets so quickly.
3) No blackout dates apply! These discounts are good any day of the year at the Southern California theme parks participating in the City Pass discount program.
Are CityPass discount coupons difficult to use? Not at all! I have used this program myself in the past, and had no problems with the plan whatsoever. This is a very important theme park discount program...because it's the ONLY plan in SoCal which includes Disneyland Park...the most popular visitor attraction in the state of California. If you'd like further information on the Southern California CityPass program, you here's a link to the CityPass website where you can learn more about them.
Hollywood CityPass discount tickets
The Southern California CityPass multi-park discount isn't the ONLY good offer that the CityPass company has available for the Los Angeles area. Another good savings opportunity for you is their "Hollywood" CityPass (also called the "Walk of Fame" CityPass.The price of the Hollywood CityPass is $59.95 for adults (a $110.85 value) and $39 for kids ages 3--11. As with the Southern California City Passes, you'll save over 40%, a terrific bargain (if these are attractions that you wish to see, of course!)
The attractions included in this Hollywood CityPass are---
* The Hollywood Wax Museum & Guinness World Records Museum OR the new Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum (but not both options)
* A 2-hour Starline Tour of Hollywood (roving through the Hollywood and Beverly Hills areas peeking at actors' homes and famous landmarks)
* A 1-hour Red Line Tour (which does cover DIFFERENT things than the Starline Tour)
* A CHOICE of either a guided, behind-the-scenes tour of the Kodak Theater, the glistening new home of the Academy Awards presentations OR admission to the Hollywood Museum, featuring a collection of sets, props and memorabilia from famous films.
If you'll be including side-trips to Hollywood on your family vacation getaway to Los Angeles theme parks, the Hollywood CityPass is something you should at least consider. Tourists have 9 days from the date of purchase to use all of their discount coupons for the Hollywood CityPass. You may purchase Hollywood CityPass discount coupons at any of the included attractions; or you may buy CityPass coupon books online ahead of your visit.
3 park attraction discount---
SeaWorld/San Diego Zoo/San Diego Wildlife Park!
Are you an animal lover? If so, you'll love the 3-in-one ticket special offered by 3 great San Diego attractions. These are SeaWorld San Diego, the San Diego Zoo, and the San Diego Wildlife Park.This is a great deal because you get 5 whole days to explore these 3 wonderful parks...and, they're so large that you'll need those 5 days to explore all the attractions that you, an animal-lover, will want to see! Having 5 days will give you time for really ENJOYING the parks instead of just "rushing through" them. You'll have the time to take a SeaWorld Behind the Scenes Tour and Dine with Shamu. You'll have time not only for the zoo's bus tour, but also time to set out on foot & explore those exhibits that piqued your interest as you drove by on the bus.
