Pogo Pass - Family fun this summer in AZ without breaking the bank.


Summer is here which means that the kids are out of school & you are looking for activities to do with your kids that won't break the bank. With how expensive gas is at the moment mixed with how much it cost for admission & drinks/snacks when you are out it can really add up which means you'll likely cut back on the amount of things you'll be able to do this summer. Pogo Pass can come in handy to help you cut back on some of those costs allowing you to still get the most out of the summer. Pogo Passes are available in five different cities (in four different states), the promotional code above will work on all of the different passes, however I will be focusing on the Phoenix Pogo Pass as that is where we are located. Passes are normally $119.98 each, but if you use the code on the banner above (6c8d10a3) you can get your pass for only $59.99. You might be thinking "Okay Luna, I can get the pass for half off, but then what do I do with it?"

Pogo Pass works along side a number of local business which allow you a certain amount of visits to each location for free using your Pogo Pass. A large majority of the attractions are located between Phoenix,Gilbert/Chandler & Mesa along with one in Scottsdale plus a few in Tucson. I put together a quick map showing where a large majority of the locations are found.

Is the pass worth purchasing? In my opinion the pass more than pays for itself, if you are an adult without children there are a few things on the pass that are for small children but there is a ton of activities for teens & adults so you'll still get your moneys worth out of the pass. 

Here are just some of the things that come included with your pass & this also only shows the cost of visiting each location for ONE adult and the list below does not show everything that is included in the pass! 


Gravity Extreme Zone - $17.99
Phoenix Zoo - $37.95
Golfland Sunsplash - $49.87
810 Billards - $10
AZ Ice skating - $10
Enchanted Island - $23.75
Fat Cats (Bowling + Mini Golf) - $18
Pangea Land of the Dinosaurs - $19.95
Paradox Escape Room - $25
Phoenix Rock Gym - $15
VIP Airsoft - $23.80
Total: $251.31 

Using the Pogo Pass app on your phone you'll be able to keep track of which attractions you've already claimed uses for and what you have left along with a list of what comes included & what days/times you'll be able to use your pass. Some of the attractions will allow you to visit more than once for free using your pogo pass, for example you'll get one visit to the Phoenix Zoo and you can get one free round of bowling + a round of mini golf once a WEEK at Fat Cats. So even if you were to only visit the locations listed above one time, after paying for the pass itself you'll have saved yourself $194. 

Are there any extra fees? One or two places offer you the chance to upgrade from the basic package that comes with the Pogo Pass to a larger package or for a longer session, & one or two places will require a small fee such as the rental cost of bowling shoes so your costs may vary slightly. You'll also notice discount at some of the locations for food, you are not required to use the codes or upgrade to larger packages if you do not want to! You can stick with just what is included in your pass for free.

You can visit each attraction on a different day or you can work out a plan to have fun all day long visiting multiple locations in a single day. Most of these locations are a 30-45 minute drive for us & with the crazy prices at the gas pumps right now we decided it would work out best for us to group some of the locations that are near each other into a day of fun. We spent one whole day out of the house having fun, we stopped at Gravity Extreme Zone, Uptown Jungle, a mini golf spot we enjoy, & Fat Cats, we had planned on stopping at Pangea as well, but we wouldn't have made it in time before they closed. Later in the summer we will have another day where we visit several other attractions as well & we will still have vouchers left over for the outdoor activities (Enchanted Island + Phoenix Zoo) left for when the weather cools down again. Pogo Passes are good for 1 year from date of purchase so don't feel pressured into using all of your attraction visits at once. 


The Pogo Pass app is easy to navigate & simple to use, all of the locations also make it easy for you to use your pass to get entry without any issues! We haven't run into any issues with our Pogo Passes yet.

We have a similar thing called the Get Out Pass in the Houston area. It's such a great deal and a great way to try places you may not have gone without it.

Samantha Donnelly said...

This does sound like a great pass, especially when trying to keep the kids entertained without the costs keep rising on trips out

Motherhood: The Real Deal said...

Wow this sounds great and perfect for the summer holidays ahead when we have to keep the kids busy.

Lisa said...

This really is perfect for keeping the kids busy this summer. I also like that it’s economical, things are so expensive right now, having days out for many families won’t be easy.

Amy Liu Dong said...

Wow! It's great to have that kind of pass. The place looks absolutely amazing and cool. So many activity for the whole family to enjoy and have fun. Loved it!

Rhian Westbury said...

This sounds like such good value as it covers quite a few places. I tend to buy passes like this for attractions when I go away as it generally works out cheaper x

Carmen said...

I wish we had something like this in my state.

This sounds fun and exciting! It's perfect this summer.

Patricia Chamberlain said...

This looks like such a great deal! I want to visit this area sometime soon, so I hope this pass is still a thing when we get to go.

I like that there's an app on your phone to keep track of what you've already done. I think it would be worth it to get for sure. I like this kind of thing for the summer.

Dragon Mama said...

Whenever we travel I look for passes like these. Will do next time we visit Arizona.

Lyosha Varezhkina said...

I always look for cheaper options to enjoy the past time with my family be it a date or group deal with friends as well. I am big on rock climbing (even though I couldn't do it much lately because of pregnancy and the baby), I look forward to coming back to it next month. I am sure you had tons of FUN climbing, it makes your mid think and your body move

Laura Linklater said...

Thank you for this - we too are cutting back on summer activities with 3 kids. It adds up really quickly - esp when you add in all the extra stuff (a drink for everyone, gas...) Really helpful post x

Erica (The Prepping Wife) said...

This is such a neat idea and a great way to save money while still being able to get out and do things! A friend's daughter lives in Gilbert, so I'll pass this fabulous deal on to her.

Riyah Speaks said...

Wow this is such a great way to save money and have some summertime fun with the family.

Stephanie LaPlante said...

affordable getaways with the family are super convenient. It hurts a lot less when it doesn't break the bank.
