Park admission requires either a valid ticket or valid season pass in addition to a valid wristband. Use of rides and pools is not permitted without a valid wristband.

Photo identification is required for all purchases by credit/debit card purchases and all redemptions of vouchers and other forms of prepaid purchases. Photo identification confirmation to our satisfaction is required. We accept most of the common forms of photo identification such as a driver's license or passport. Photos must be clear. Further identification may be required.

For season passes, depending on the features, benefits, privileges, restrictions, price, season pass term and other terms and conditions of the applicable season pass offering, a season pass is valid for park admission on normal operating days during either the calendar year in which it is purchased or during both the calendar year in which it was purchased plus the subsequent calendar year. For season passes with a specific term of 365 days, that 365-day period starts with activation (typically the first date of use) and ends 365 calendar days thereafter.

Individual season passes are only valid for use by the individual to whom it is issued. Individual season passes are not transferable, interchangeable, or refundable, in full or in part, for any reason. Any season pass used fraudulently may be revoked without refund, credit or exchange. For example, attempting or permitting use of a season pass by a person other than the individual to whom it is issued constitutes a fraudulent use of that season pass and may result in the revocation of that season pass without refund, credit or exchange.

To receive a wristband for admission, season pass holders give their name to the admissions booth or desk, which confirms identification to the season pass holder file photo. Photo identification confirmation to our satisfaction is required. We accept most of the common forms of photo identification such as a driver's license or passport. Photos must be clear. Further identification may be required. Photo identification confirmation is required for adults (18 years of age or older).

A season pass permits park entry during normal operating days and hours but not for or during special events or private or special parties, for which a separate admission fee is charged, or which are not open to the public generally. A season pass does not include the use of any rides, attractions, activities or facilities for which a separate fee or cost is charged, for example, the Soaring Eagle, seasonal and other in-park activities for which a fee is charged, stroller rental, equipment rental, arcade, games, food and beverage, merchandise, special events and private or special parties.

The features, benefits, privileges, restrictions, price, season pass term and other terms and conditions of season passes offered to or purchased by you or currently being offered may differ from those of other season passes previously offered or sold or later offered or sold. Some season passes may have features, benefits, privileges, restrictions, term and other terms and conditions which are no longer offered, are not currently being offered and are not part of any currently-available or later offering.

At peak times (e.g., during holidays, weekends, school breaks, summer, and times that overlap with large or a number of parties or special or private events) as well as during other times the number of guests in the park can approach or reach maximum capacity. The park generally operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. At no time do we promise or guaranty that every guest will have access to all attractions, or available seating, a table or any other item or facility. At no time do we promise or guaranty that every guest will have access to The Water Main. We do not promise or guaranty entry on a specific date and we do not accept reservations, except as otherwise provided for parties and groups for which the necessary reservation is made, booked, accepted and paid for in advance, and special events and private or special parties that are scheduled and advertised as an event for which reservations can be made, provided that the necessary reservation is made, booked, accepted and paid for in advance. At certain times, determined in our discretion, we may elect to sell tickets that, at the time of purchase, allow the purchaser to select a date of visit, however, these types of tickets are valid for the season for which they were purchased and may be used on a day other than the selected date of visit; accordingly: (i) that date selection does not constitute a reservation; (ii) we do not promise or guaranty entry on that specific date; and (iii) on the selected date the park or any of it may be closed, for all or part of the day, as described in the next paragraph.

We may from time to time, without prior notice and without refund, credit or exchange: change the operating days and hours of the park or certain attractions, rotate or limit access to certain attractions, or temporarily close the park or any part of it, or restrict the number of persons having access to the park or any part of it, or suspend or cancel any attraction, party or event, in each case, for any reason or purpose including: for maintenance, repair, replacement, improvement or upgrade of attractions or of other facilities, machinery or equipment; for special events and private or special parties; full or partial closure, or capacity or other limits or restrictions including any imposed by governmental order or action; severe or inclement weather or wind; lightning; loss of power, electricity or other necessary utilities or services; in response to police or other governmental order or action; any other circumstance, occurrence or event that we in our discretion determine requires such response(s) or action(s) so as to ensure safety, security or order or for any other reasonable purpose.

SERVICE ANIMALS

Trained service animals are welcome at Diggerland USA. These animals are working animals, not pets. An ESA (emotional support animal) is not a service animal. A trained service animal is generally any trained service/guide dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The work or tasks performed by the animal must be directly related to the individual's disability.

The handler is responsible for the control, care, supervision and behavior of the animal. The animal shall be under the control of its handler at all times. The animal shall have a harness, leash, or other tether, unless either the handler is unable because of a disability to use a harness, leash, or other tether with the animal, or the use of a harness, leash, or other tether would interfere with the animal's safe, effective performance of work or tasks, in which case the animal must be otherwise under the handler's control (e.g., voice control, signals, or other effective means). An animal that behaves in an unsafe, uncontrolled or unacceptable way is not permitted on the premises. Examples of unacceptable behavior include uncontrolled barking, jumping on other people, or running away from the handler. An animal that poses a direct risk or threat to the health or safety of others is not permitted on the premises. The animal must be healthy and vaccinated in accordance with applicable laws. The animal must be housebroken. Owners are responsible for disposing of their animal's waste.

We may ask for the removal from the premises of an animal that is not housebroken, or that is out of control, or whose handler does not take effective action to control it, or that behaves in an unsafe, uncontrolled or unacceptable way, or that is not healthy and vaccinated in accordance with applicable laws, or that poses a direct risk or threat to the health or safety of others.

Animals are not permitted on rides. Our rides are not equipped or designed for accessibility to or safe ridership or use by animals. While a handler rides a ride, or is otherwise not available for the control, care, supervision and behavior of the animal, the handler must have another member of the handler's party assume control, care, supervision and behavior of the animal.
