No matter where you live in the country, That Park Place’s John Golf has you covered for budget-friendly Labor Day fun!

 

There will be plenty of people still working on Labor Day to ensure that many tourist locations, restaurants, gas stations/convenience stores and many other businesses remain open. This will allow those of us with a “holiday” to get out and enjoy our beautiful country. This is a day to celebrate working people by resting and relaxing. I hope that we all can find some time to enjoy with family and friends. Here are a few places I found that are offering some type of discount this weekend:

Stone Mountain Park

 

Admission to the park is $19.95. This special has actually been going on since August 13 and will run through September 5. If you live near the Atlanta metro area, this may just be the way to celebrate Labor Day with friends and family for less than you would expect! I found this on their purchase ticket page:

Enjoy a special rate on one-day Attractions Passes to enjoy Stone Mountain Park attractions including Scenic Railroad, Summit Skyride, Dinosaur Explore plus live seasonal entertainment.

Visit September 3-5 to experience the Labor Day Weekend Celebration!

Note: 24 hour advance purchase required. Lasershow Spectacular Add-on available during check out.

I see that SMP also has a First Responder and Military Pass for $24.95 per person. Here are the specifics on the deal:

Promotion includes up to 6 discounted attraction passes at $24.95+tax each per qualified guests. 24 hours advance purchase required.

This ticket includes access to Scenic Railroad, Dinosaur Explore, Historic Square, Mini Golf, seasonal live entertainment and more!

Discount Attractions Pass is offered to:
First Responders (police officers, sheriffs, state troopers, corrections officers, federal officers, firefighters (career & volunteer), EMT, paramedics, 911 dispatchers).
Military (active duty, reserves, veterans, national guard, retirees)
Healthcare Professionals (doctors, nurses, hospital workers)

You can verify your group affiliation by clicking the Verify with ID.me button located in the ticket card. Follow the prompts to complete your verification and simply log in to your ID.me account to receive discounts on future orders.

I saw a  show being advertised and it definitely looks like it is something worth seeing. It is called NEW King BMX Stunt Show.

Splashway Waterpark and Campground

 

Farther down south where everything is bigger, including the water slides, there’s another way to have fun for less this Labor Day Weekend. The water park and campground is located in Sheridan, Texas. Sheridan is about at the midpoint of Houston and San Antonio. Here’s what you can find on their website:

Free Labor Day Concerts in Downtown Las Vegas 2022

 

Nothing is free… and almost never on the strip. But this time, this Labor Day Weekend, all you desert dwellers have something to do at zero cost to your wallets!

The free concert is located at Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. My family visited this location when we vacationed at Christmas of 2020. The Fremont Street experience was enough for us, but throw in free concerts every weekend, including this weekend, and you have really hit the jackpot. Seriously. Please be reminded that this is not a family-friendly place so make necessary arrangements for little ones. These are the acts slated to perform this weekend:

• Sat, Sep 3rd – Rick Springfield, Men at Work, John Waite (3rd St Stage, 7:00 p.m.)
