Discounts for Legoland and SD Zoo?

[Cara]

Woohoo! Just one month away from our California trip! Does anyone know of any good discounts for Legoland or the San Diego Zoo. I know we can get 10 percent off at SD Zoo with AAA, and our friends with APs can get us $5 off at Legoland. Does anyone have any better ideas?

Thanks!

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn last year over Labor Day weekend, and the Legoland tickets we purchased from the front desk could be turned into Guest Services for a "2nd Day Free" ticket that had to be used within 7 days. So we got 2 days for the price of one! We paid full price for the tickets but getting the 2nd day free far outweighed the AAA discount I could have received at their front gate, which I believe was only few dollars. It also included a Premium parking upgrade; we parked in a close parking lot for the regular parking price; this was invaluable at 9pm at night when I had a DS7 with very tired little legs.

Had I known we were getting the 2nd day free I'd have planned a later flight; on our 2nd day we went on everything that had long lines the day before and squeezed in a lot in 2 hours, before we had to leave to make our flight.

I would check their hours on the days that you're going; I believe the park is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays until Thanksgiving.

Hope this helps!
