It’s backkkk! Adventure Aquarium is bringing back its beloved Pre-K Pass!
So, what exactly is the Pre-K Pass? Basically, it’s one of those things that sounds too good to be true, but somehow isn’t. The Pre-K Pass gives kiddos ages 5 and under a FULL YEAR of admission to Adventure Aquarium!
Yes. You read that correctly.
A. FULL. YEAR.
And it’s per kid! So, theoretically, if you have four kids who are all 5 and under — dear God, how are you doing? Are you okay? Do you need coffee? A nap? A week alone in a hotel? — you can get all four of those adorable little bundles of chaos their own Pre-K Pass!
That means an entire year of popping over to see the sharks, hippos, penguins and everything else at Adventure Aquarium without paying admission for the kiddos every single time.
And as a mom, I LOVE anything that turns “We need to get out of this house before everyone loses their minds” into a free activity.
And the best part? It’s REALLY easy to get one, too! Below I’m breaking down exactly how to snag your kiddo’s Pre-K Pass, step-by-step, so keep reading!
