Point cards

Which point card to buy

Count your rides before you pick a card. One Wild Woody lap each for four people is 56 points, so the 60-point card fits. Two Family Track laps each for four (80) plus mini golf for four (52) come to 132 points, a little more than the 125-point card.

Old point cards need swapping for a new Tap & Play card at the cashier; your points move over. The new cards also work in a phone wallet.
