Is it true that Massachusetts and Rhode Island residents can get a discount all year round?


Yes! Massachusetts and Rhode Island residents (ages 2 and up) can get a $30 ticket rate online which saves you up to $7 per ticket on date specific tickets during the 2018 year. That brings the price from $37 a ticket to $30.

Another tip! We are always running various promotions and discounts throughout the year. If you go to our websites calendars page and click on the month you are planning to attend, you will see a promotions tab which directs you to all the discounts running for that month by day.


Tell us about your Autism Awareness Weekend coming up this April 28 and 29.


Autism Awareness Weekend is an annual event for Edaville where the theme parks team takes the time to plan a beautiful event to support and show strength behind autism awareness and inclusivity. Edaville will have various partner sponsors throughout the park handing out information, hosting sensory-friendly activities and selling some fun merchandise as well. The park's audio will also be turned down for the day and the train whistle will give off a shorter blast. The event takes place both days 10 am to 5 pm. For more information, click here.

As a reminder, Edaville’s sensory friendly accommodations are also available throughout the entire year. We have train tables set up in Thomas Land and in the Ellis Playhouse. Both locations are relatively quiet and there are always trains on the tables to play with. We have family bathrooms, as well as a sensory-friendly bathroom in the Soft Play Building in Thomas Land which has a manual flush, manual faucets and manual paper towels. We have a quiet car on the train, plus several toys, fidget toys and fenced in areas to help children with the wiggles.
