The post How to Get West Edmonton Mall World Waterpark Tickets for HALF Price in June 2024 – Low Capacity (no crowd!) appeared first on Family Friendly Edmonton.

Regular admission to both venues is currently $64 +gst. We have tickets for just $35 right now! Get yours using the links below here for the following dates:

West Edmonton Mall Waterpark tickets for half-price: Saturday, April 20, 2024

West Edmonton Mall Galaxyland tickets for half-price: Friday, April 26, 2024

Here’s how it works:

Discounted tickets are only available during private events. This means a third party has rented out the entire facility and only ticket holders can enter during these times. The tickets cost $35 each, which is about half the cost of regular admission when it is open to the public. Good to know:

• Private events means the facility is closed to the general public; every person aged 3+ wanting to enter the venue during the private event time will need to have a ticket to get in. This means the host can choose what kind of crowd to sell the tickets to – our event are always family friendly
• Tickets for private events are numbered and typically sell out – once they sell out, there are no more available, so buying sooner than later is always a good idea
• Capacity is significantly lower than on general public admission days
• There is a start time and an end time to the event – see the event page for details on each
