Got kids in tow? Mondays are your golden ticket. Kids aged 5-13 get in for a mere $2 when they’re with an adult. And the little ones under 5? They’re free! It’s a fantastic opportunity for a family outing without the hefty price tag.
3. Lunch Hack: Between 11AM-1PM
Here’s a sneaky one for you. Visit the CNE on a weekday between 11 am and 1 pm, and you can actually get your admission refunded if you leave by 1 pm! It’s the ideal excuse for a midday escape, a quick lunch break with a side of CNE excitement.
4. Presto Card Perks
If you’re a Presto card user, you’re in luck. Flash that card and enjoy discounts on Ride All Day passes and even general admission. It’s a win-win: convenient travel and CNE savings.

Calling all students! Your student ID isn’t just for the library anymore. Keep an eye on your school’s website or emails for special CNE deals. Student life is expensive enough; your fun shouldn’t be.
