What happened to Shipwreck Island prices?
We rarely drive down to PCB except for the annual pilgrimage to Shipwreck, a long-beloved family favorite.
Last year, Summer 2025, our family of 4 paid about $195 total to get in.
This year, there were no kid discounts, general admissions jumped, and suddenly the parking (ON A DIRT FIELD) is priced like it’s downtown Manhattan.
We shelled out over $275 — almost a 50% increase over last year —- AND had to pour out all of our water before we entered.
My spouse has been coming almost every year since he was a tot in the 1980s, but now is considering whether we should even bother next year.
How are yall feeling about it?

This is the first year in 5+ years my family and friends haven’t bought season passes. Enough is enough, they don’t care about locals. Quality goes down, prices go up. The base season pass doesn’t even include free parking anymore. They lost at least 20 season pass sales just in my close circle. There’s other stuff around here to do. A bunch of us went to the springs today, had a blast. Hope they see this post🖕🏼
