Stone Mountain is never a cheap proposition for families. Whenever there are ways to save on parking or all-attractions passes, we’ll let you know here.
The daily parking fee alone is $20 per car, so often it’s worth it to pay $40 for the annual parking pass.
The parking pass runs for 12 months, starting with the month you made the purchase. You can purchase the parking pass at the park gate when you drive up to the admission booth. HINT: Watch for the $5 OFF deal and buy your annual pass then.

The Lasershow is back
The bad news is, it’s no longer free with the price of parking. You’ll purchase a ticket for $5 on weekdays and $10 for weekends and holidays.
You should buy your Lasershow ticket in advance — don’t count on space being available if you head to the park without a ticket.
Complete Lasershow details and FAQs here — we suggest reviewing this info before you go.
Discount available:
If you’re buying an All-Attractions Pass, you can add a Lasershow ticket. Just put your Pass(es) in a cart — you’ll get a prompt asking you if you’d like to add the Lasershow.
Lasershow 2022 dates and times:
- Saturdays only April 16 thru May 21
- Daily from May 27 thru July 31
- Saturdays only August 6 thru September 10, plus Labor Day Weekend

Deals and Discounts for Stone Mountain Park
Please use the links to verify a deal is still on, before you head out — and note that some of them only apply to online purchases and are not available at the gate.
Reminder: There are fees of up to $5 tacked on to your online purchase when you buy directly from Stone Mountain. Groupon does not add fees.
Get $5 off annual parking pass
For a limited time, you can get the Stone Mountain annual parking pass for just $35, thanks to a Groupon deal.
You cannot use the deal to extend your current parking pass — only to buy a new 12-month pass. The pass is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
You’ll have to take the Groupon voucher to the park gate to redeem it for your parking sticker.
The annual parking pass gets you access to public picnic areas, hiking and nature trails, children’s playground, walk-up trail, Quarry Exhibit, and the Confederate Hall Historical and Environmental Education Center. You’ll need separate passes or tickets for other park attractions.
Memorial Day weekend 2022 military deal
The park is offering a FREE Attractions Pass to all active duty and retired military personnel. Plus, they can get 40% OFF per person for immediate family members. This offer is good during Memorial Day Weekend — from Friday, May 27th to Monday, May 30th, 2022.

Groupon deal: 33% off an Attractions Pass + Lasershow
This Groupon offer is probably the best deal currently running — because Groupon does not add ticket fees.
The deal is $19.95 for an All Attractions Pass, and it includes a Lasershow square if you visit on a day the show is running (see the Lasershow schedule above — the Lasershow happens only on Saturdays in August and September).
You’ll have to redeem your Groupon voucher by August 29th. Be sure to read the fine print.
If you have kids 2 or under, they get in FREE.
Remember that parking ($20) is not included.
Sky Hike is not included in the pass, but you can buy a ticket for $5 per person.
NOTE: You can get up to 8% cashback from Rakuten (formerly Ebates) if you sign up and start a shopping session before you purchase your Groupon. You get the money at the end of each quarter and can have it sent to you via check or PayPal.

Unlimited refills of cold beverages and a meal are included with this ticket. Options include hamburger, hot dog, pizza slice (cheese or pepperoni), chicken sandwich, chef salad, chicken strips, BBQ pulled pork or chicken, French fries, and nachos. These meal choices are available at Marketplace.

This 30% discount on the All-Attraction pass brings the price down to $24.95. You must buy in person at the ticket plaza; it’s not available for advance purchase online. According to Stone Mountain’s website, the discount applies to “all active duty, veterans, and retired military personnel, spouses and dependents when valid military personnel IDs and dependent IDs are presented.”
