Discount tickets can be purchased at Wegmans Supermarkets.

You have to purchase them at Wegmans. Go to Wegmans.com to find a location near where you may be staying.

They are $22.99 adult and $17.99 children under 48"

That is around $11.00 off adults and $2.00 off kids.

Thanks for the tip. I'll visit the site right now.

wegmans is a chain supermarket in the mid atlantic states from ny to virginia. the site wont really help you. the most you can use with the site is find addresses of wegmans in the area. also consider if your coming from the north into the adirondack region or west into buffalo niagara. theres wegmans all over.

and since you will be going to Wegman's anyway-you can stop in their sub shop and get the family picnic- Which is 3 large subs-chips-pop-and cookies all packed together in a cooler that is included. I think that they have the BEST subs.

You can store it in the car and have a picnic lunch. The food in the park is expensive and not very good. Just my opinion.

and if your a member of aaa/caa, you can buy discount tickets to darien lake. i think its something like $10USD off.

Thanks for all the great idea's. Looking forward to the trip.

Is there an alternate hotel that is close to Darien Lake? (within 25 minutes?)

There are two hotels in East Aurora, NY, about 20 miles away from Darien Center - tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g47619-East_Aurora_Ne…

The Buffalo Niagara airport is less than 30 miles away from Darien and there are several hotels to choose from.

A thousand thank you's

The Red Roof Inn Buffalo Airport is the best deal for a hotel off site which is about 20 minutes to park and room rates HALF the price of anywhere else you will find! Also, hotel was just renovated and is very clean. No pool though, but great spot to sleep after day at park!
