The fastest way to pay and play!
At Elitch Gardens, we want you to have the best experience possible! That’s why we are transitioning to faster and safer cash-free operations this season. Elitch Gardens will accept only electronic payments such as debit cards, credit cards and mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Moving to a fully electronic payment system will streamline the payment process so you can spend less time in line and more time having fun!
Only have cash? Stop by one of our easy-to-use Cash-to-Card kiosks conveniently located throughout the park. You can convert your cash into a prepaid debit card free of charge. The cards can be used anywhere at Elitch Gardens and at any outside business that accepts MasterCard.
