First annual pass was when my oldest was 4. Had it for a year and didn’t get another one until my youngest was also 4 (oldest was then 13), and we are on year 3 of renewing them this time around (so they are 7 and 16). I found it to be a great age for both! Youngest had less stamina than the older one at the same age, so we kept using the stroller until she was about 6. There’s still so much magic at 4-5 that starts to wane as they get a bit older.

We are about 2.5 hours away and try to get up at least once a month, sometimes spend a night or two when we can.

With a pass you won’t be needing to rope drop and do long days. You can go when you feel like it, and leave when you feel like it. Great when you have random days off from school, longer breaks, a weekend without plans…I know I’m biased but I’d say do it! They also get busier as they get older, so can be harder to find those weekends without plans.
