The Tanganyika Season Pass sale is back for 2023! This is usually the best deal of the year on this favorite attraction in Wichita. The 2023 Season Pass Sale starts March 1, so get your purchasing fingers ready on the keyboard. Or you can buy the pass in person at the park when the sale officially begins.
For several years, Tanganyika Wildlife Park has offered its season pass at a sale price that is about the same price as one adult visit! The season passes included optional VIP upgrades. This is the best DEAL!
It used to be $19.99 then they increased it to $24.99, which was fair considering the extra perks they added and that the pass was inexpensive in the first place. The season pass sale was a no-brainer for most families, which is why everyone bought it. This year they have lowered the price!
Tanagnyika’s three different tiers of season passes make sure that everyone has the opportunity to escape from the chaos and stress of today’s world and reconnect with their wildside. When you walk through the gates, let the stress and worry float away and just let yourself be a kid again and connect with your troop of people and our herd of animals.

Some things to remember:
- Their passes are individual; every individual from 3 to 89 years old needs their own pass.
- Their passes are mixed and matched! Buy Silver Passes for the kids and then add on basic passes for the adults. The kids can feed 5 times each visit, and the parents can tag along.
- The GOLD PASS is a steal…and it sells out every year. If you’re a family of four, buying two Gold Passes for the kids gets them and two adults in with them every visit.
- These are SEASON passes, Tanganyika is closed from mid-November to spring break in March. Silver and Gold pass holders do get special winter access throughout the winter.
- Monthly Payment Plans are ONLY available for these passes during the sale. Choose Silver passes for $9/month and Gold for $22/month.
- ASK FOR OUR HELP! They might not get back to you immediately as there are only a few workers on the other side of this screen assisting 10’s of thousands of season pass holders, but they want to help you pick the perfect pass!

Recap of prices in the past:
- For 2023, it is $24.99, which is cheaper than last year
- 2022 it was $39.99
- 2021 it was $19.99
Before we talk further, everyone needs to understand that a business has the right to set any price it pleases. I’ve always appreciated Tanganyika Wildlife Park and the fact that they offered such an incredible, unbelievable deal to us every season. If they need to increase the price or decrease it, that is totally fair of them. We are just glad this year the price decreased!
Your question is just whether that means it is affordable for you or not. Simple math – there’s no moral dilemma here or criticism of people or businesses. (Everyone is quick to criticize; I think people are all just doing their best, and that knee-jerk criticism is just lazy thinking.)
Does Tanganyika Have a Family Pass?
Each year, people ask if Tanganyika has a Family Pass and so far, the wildlife park has declined to offer one, opting for its Season Pass Sale instead.
How Many Discount Season Passes Do I Need?
During this special sale, the price is per person, any age. This is a discount, but you do need a separate pass for each person in the family who is 3 and older. One year I realized I only needed two passes because certain family members (not going to name names…) really weren’t likely to go. 🙂 So keep that in mind when you’re deciding how many passes you need.
You can purchase the discounted passes online (see the link at the end of this post) or at the park beginning March 1.
Tanganyika Open Dates
The park opens for the season in mid-March, according to the website. Be sure to pick up your Tanganyika Wildlife Park season passes while they’re available for the discounted price, and you’ll be able to visit the park all season long!

Do you offer FAMILY season passes?
Hi Julie. We’re not Tanganyika (we find and write about events and deals in Wichita), but I do know that Tanganyika does not have family season passes. This season pass sale, however, is the best deal you can find all year for unlimited admission to the wildlife park and the new splash playground.
Is there senior passes
No. But during the season pass sale the price is better than any senior discount!
Is there the senior pass that has 1 guest included? Like I had last year?
Tanganyika doesn’t offer senior passes, but during the season pass sale everyone pays the discounted price of $24.99 (It’s a steal!) They do also have a guest season pass available to purchase for $39.99. This allows you to bring any guest throughout the season.
How do purchase this pass?
There’s a link in the article to the Tanganyika website. You can either purchase the pass online beginning March 1, or it may be possible to get them in person (but I need to get more info on that).
Yes, we to, would lo very to come but we live in Smith county, and to bring my grandkids and us this far would be about a 500.00 day, for those that don’t know we’re smith co, is, Nebraska is our neighbors.
I live in Cowley County. Sedgwick, Sumner, Butler… but not Cowley included! I would’ve bought one definitely won’t buy two $40 passes for my three year old and I for this summer.
They are now allowing ANYONE to purchase. Go check out the link! 🙂
You’re right! They sure did! 🙂
I updated the information in my article above. Woo-hoo for everyone!
Why only the local counties? The people driving 2 plus hours are already spending a lot to come see this park and deserve a break in entrance price as well. I cannot afford to come with my kids at the regular price.
This is a great deal! Thx for the info.
Stinks because we live in Rice county. We being our grandchildren a couple of times a year. But it costs us alot to bring them. Would have loved to have bought these passes.
You can now purchase the passes
Really? I don’t see that anywhere… but I’ll keep looking! Thanks for the heads-up.
