UPDATE: We’re going to continue to promote these two deals during this time of social distancing.
Stone Mountain Park is a great place to walk and bike in the many wide open spaces, although you may want to avoid the crowded attractions. And the new Pre-K Pass is worth signing up for now, because we don’t know what summer will hold.
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 annual pass runs for 12 months, starting with the month you made the purchase — it doesn’t reflect the Jan–Dec calendar year. In other words, you’ll get 12 full months of value, no matter when you buy the pass. You can purchase the parking pass at the park gate when you drive up to the admission booth.
Two current discounts not to be missed!
$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.
It’s not clear whether the parking sticker will be mailed to you, or if you have to take a voucher to the park gate to redeem it for your parking sticker.
FREE pre-K pass for children ages 3 to 5
This is the first time we’ve seen this offer!
Families with young children can now save substantially on admission fees — with the new pre-K pass, kids from ages 3 to 5 get into the park for FREE, through August 31, 2020.
To get the free pass, you only need to register online and then bring your child to the park to activate the membership in person by May 25th.
To activate, you must show proof of your child’s age in the form of a birth certificate or passport. Documents can be originals, photocopies or digital copies.
But it gets even better!
When you activate the pass for your little one, you can buy a Pre-K Companion Pass for other family members, at just $39.95 each.
The companion pass lets other family members enjoy unlimited visits to Stone Mountain Park from March 1 to August 31, 2020.
Considering the regular price for a daily All-Attractions Pass is $34.95, the Companion Pass is a heck of a deal! At just $5 more for unlimited visits, it pays for itself in just two visits.

There is also a $20 Pre-K meal deal that gives you 4 meal vouchers. The meals covered are smaller than regular child-sized portions.

Some colossal crawlers are taking over Stone Mountain Park and calling Georgia’s most visited attraction home for 2019! Featuring more than 70 new exhibits of larger-than-life insects, MEGABUGS! Adventure Encounters is an immersive and interactive area for ‘bugologists’ of any age to explore.
Guests can experience a bug’s life as they crawl like a spider, fly like a bee, and dig like an ant while interacting with these enormous insects. In a special habitat at the park, guests will come face-to-face with a giant 15-foot emperor dragonfly, a 20-foot hissing cockroach, a 50-foot Madagascan fire millipede, and many more! These exhibits spotlight mimic the individual sounds and movements that make these insects unique members of the animal kingdom.
MEGABUGS! Adventure Encounters opens March 30, 2019 for the start of Spring MEGA FUN Break and is included with All-Attraction Passes and Mountain Memberships.
