You will need to reserve your ticket, print the ticket when it is e-mailed to you, and redeem it at your chosen location. Though the ticket is only for 2, check to see if children are admitted for free. Many age limits are 12 and under. Hope you can snag a free to inexpensive family outing.

Enjoy using time wisely with your family this weekend!
