Stone Mountain Park gives teachers a free Attractions Ticket once a year during its Educator Appreciation Event, and you can buy up to six more tickets for family members at $29.99 each instead of the regular $39.99. It isn’t a year-round discount. This year’s event ran for one week at the start of summer and has ended, so keep an eye on the Educator Appreciation page for the next one.
Stone Mountain Park is a 3,200-acre park in Stone Mountain, Georgia. It has seasonal family attractions, festivals, outdoor activities, a campground and on-site lodging, and the Attractions Ticket covers all of the park’s attractions. It also hosts school field trips.
How To Get The Stone Mountain Park Educator Discount
When the Educator Appreciation Event is on, here’s how to claim it:
- Go to the Ticket Plaza at Stone Mountain Park. The offer is only good there, not online.
- Show valid ID. Any one of these works: an employee photo ID, a pay stub or name badge with your school name or county plus a state-issued photo ID, or, if you homeschool, a homeschool declaration of intent plus a state-issued photo ID.
- Get your free Attractions Ticket, and buy up to six more at $29.99 each for the people with you.
A few things to know before you go. Parking, taxes and service fees cost extra. Kids 2 and under get in free. Homeschool families get one educator ticket per household. The offer can’t be combined with other deals and doesn’t apply to tickets you’ve already bought.
