Buddy Days are special perks exclusively for guests with an Active Season Pass. On these select days, each pass holder can bring one guest for FREE, also known as a “Buddy.”

Your Buddy receives general admission to Big Rivers and can enjoy all open attractions just like you. However, Buddy guests do not receive Season Pass perks such as in-park discounts or exclusive offers.

Here’s how it works:

  • Each Season Pass holder may bring one Buddy per Buddy Day
  • The Season Pass holder must be present at time of redemption
  • Pass holder must have an Active Season Pass
  • Redeem at the ticketing window or designated mobile stations at the park

Some Buddy Days are announced in advance, but we also offer surprise Buddy Days. Be sure to follow us on social media so you do not miss out.

Important: If the Season Pass holder is 15 years old or younger, a parent or guardian aged 18 or older must be present. The adult must also have a valid ticket or Season Pass for entry.

Important: Buddy Days follow the access rules of your Season Pass type. If you have a Weekday Season Pass, you may only use it Monday through Thursday. If a Buddy Day falls on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, a Weekday Pass will not be valid. Classic Season Passes include access to all Buddy Days, regardless of the day of the week.

Buddy Days are just one of the many reasons it pays to have a Season Pass.
