"This season, we're especially excited for our guests to discover the giant all-new attractions and experiences that we've brought in just for them! We believe in long-term fans over short-term profits and will always work hard to keep tickets affordable to families, thus not raising ticket prices for a fourth consecutive year." Gathman-Kent added, "We're also incredibly honored and grateful to be named Mariposa County's 2025 Best in Lodging & Recreation. Thank you to the Mariposa County Chamber of Commerce and to every guest who has supported us along the way.
