What would you do to go to Western Playland? If you grew up in El Paso, chances are you’ve heard this iconic phrase over the decades and have a treasure trove of memories from Western Playland- from the Himalaya to that awesome alien cup! El Paso’s beloved amusement park has been a go-to spot for family fun and summer thrills for decades.

This year, Western Playland is celebrating 65 incredible years and in honor of that achievement, they’re bringing back one of its classic promotions, but with a fresh twist that’s sure to get El Pasoans excited! Whether you’re a longtime fan or planning your first visit, here’s everything you need to know about the nostalgic deal making a comeback this season.

This season, they’re introducing Friday Summer Savings at Western Playland! Every Friday through August 1st, bring a Pepsi can and get $10 off your adult Pay One Price admission.

It’s a fresh twist on an old favorite; back in the day, the park offered discounts when you brought a Coca-Cola can that had the promotion printed right on it. Now, Western Playland is mixing things up by welcoming any Pepsi can for the discount, making it easier than ever to save while you enjoy the fun!
