Water parks & aquatic centers
Day passes, cabanas and season passes for water parks
Sell admission in advance, cap daily attendance for safety, rent cabanas from a map, and scan every guest at the gate with a phone.
How this type of ticketing works
Water parks and municipal aquatic centers have hard capacity limits set by lifeguard ratios and pool size. Advance sales let you hit those numbers without turning families away at the gate on the hottest day of the year.
TixSimple sells day admission by date, with an optional morning or afternoon session split. Cabanas and shaded loungers sell from an interactive map, and every ticket becomes a QR code your gate staff scan on any phone.

Frequently asked questions
Can I cap how many guests enter per day?
Yes. Each date has its own inventory, so once the day sells out the park stops selling and guests can pick a different date.
How do cabana rentals work?
Upload a deck layout as an interactive ticket map and sell each cabana as its own space. Guests see exactly which cabana they are booking and it locks on purchase.
Can residents get a lower price automatically?
Yes. Upload a CSV of resident email addresses with special pricing, and the discount applies when a matching email is used at checkout.
Do we need special hardware to scan tickets?
No. Any phone or tablet with a camera opens the scanner link. Each gate gets its own scanner key so attendance reports break down by entrance.
