The One Purchase That Solved Our ‘What Should We Do This Weekend?’ Problem

I’ve used my GetOut Pass at Hawaiian Falls and Main Event, and both times I did the same thing: mentally moved the entrance fee money straight to snacks.

My kids are 17 and 14 — old enough to eat everything in sight. Having admission covered meant the afternoon budget actually went toward the fun parts.

One visit to Hawaiian Falls with two kids covers the entire cost of the pass — and then some.

After that, every stop is free: Main Event in Plano, Frisco, Grapevine, Lewisville, or Grand Prairie. Fort Worth Zoo. SEA LIFE Grapevine. KidMania. Jumping World. Mayborn Museum. Rocky Ridge Safari. Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Grand Prairie. The Mayborn. Reunion Tower. That’s 52+ venues, and you’ve already broken even on day one.

This is what I give instead of toys for birthdays and Christmas.

A few things to know before you buy

Every venue has its own visit frequency built into the pass — so it’s worth checking the app before you go.

Main Event locations reset monthly, so you can go back anytime.

Sports teams like the Frisco RoughRiders offer up to 3 visits per year. Most other venues like Fort Worth Zoo, KidMania, and Jumping World are one visit per year.

Each pass covers one person, so everyone in your family needs their own — kids 2 and under are generally free at most venues.

And always redeem your offer in the app before you arrive, not when you’re standing at the front door.

None of that is a dealbreaker — it’s just good to know going in so you get the most out of it.

GetOut

What Is GetOut?

GetOut is a membership pass that unlocks one visit per year at each participating venue — so instead of paying full admission every time you go somewhere, you buy the membership once and work your way through a list of local attractions throughout the year.

In the DFW area, that list includes 52+ venues across categories like:

  • Trampoline parks
  • Family fun centers
  • Bowling and entertainment venues
  • Museums and interactive attractions
  • Indoor activity parks
  • Outdoor adventure spots

It’s a practical way to keep kids entertained without that familiar sting of paying $25–$30 per person every single outing.


What Changed When Pogo Pass Became GetOut?

The core concept is the same — one membership, multiple venues — but the scale got significantly bigger.

By merging Pogo Pass and GetOutPass, the new GetOut platform now includes 2,000+ attractions nationwide across 33 markets. Locally, DFW families gain access to 52+ participating venues, up from what was available under Pogo Pass alone.

The app has also been updated with improved tools to browse venues, track visits, and redeem entries on the go.


What Happens If You Had a Pogo Pass?

Your membership transferred automatically to GetOut. Your membership term, benefits, and redemption history all carried over — nothing was lost. You simply have access to a larger platform now.


Is GetOut Worth It for Plano Families?

It depends on how often your family goes out, but here’s the honest case for it:

The math works if you actually use it. The membership pays for itself after just a few visits to venues you would have paid for anyway. If you have younger kids who cycle through the same five places on repeat, or if you’re the kind of family who’s always looking for something new to try on a Saturday, the pass makes those decisions easier and cheaper.

It solves the “is it worth it?” hesitation. Many families skip newer or unfamiliar venues because they don’t want to spend $80–$100 to find out their kids aren’t into it. With the pass, you can try something new without that financial pressure.

It gives you a built-in backup plan. When the weekend opens up unexpectedly or the original plans fall through, you already have a list of places to go.
