Is Lagoon Park too expensive?



IS Lagoon Park in Farmington, Utah too expensive?

It is tricky to compare all parks and their prices, as some parks' prices vary by month, time of the daily entry, the season or what's included.

Look at the basic rankings/dollar numbers below for the regular adult admission and you decide this query (as of April 2023 prices):

1. Disneyland. Single park/single day pass from *$104 and up; Three park/1 day hopper pass $209; Season pass $400 to $1,600; Parking $30.

2. Lagoon: Single day pass **$101.69; Season pass $207.79; Parking $20.

3. Knotts Berry Farm. Single day pass $89.99; Season pass $145; Parking $25. Soak City water park is separate $56.78; Season pass $145.

4. Six Flags Magic Mountain. Single day pass $85.91; Season pass $114.99, plus tax; Parking $40.

5. Silverwood, N. Idaho. Single day pass $79; Season pass $221-$715; Parking $10; (Boulder Beach water park is separate admission with a season pass.)

*Varies by day/season, by which park, Disneyland or California Adventure.

**Does not include any discount offers.

Recommendation:


-Lagoon should return to what it originally did -- Separate the cost for Lagoon-A-Beach, as its own individual entry price. This would significantly reduce the cost for a day pass for rides only. This is only fair, because in summer doing the "Beach" reduces the number of rides a patron can do; and in the pre-season (April and most of May, plus fall), Lagoon-A-Beach is NOT even open.
