Discount Tickets to the Biltmore Estate: Is there such a thing?
 
I thought I saw discount tickets to the Biltmore Estate on some hotel's website, but I can't find it. DOES ANYONE OFFER DISCOUNT TICKETS OR COUPONS? I'm treating myself and 5 others, so at $39 each, any discount would be great!

With a AAA membership, you can save $7.00 on an adult ticket, $2.50 on a child's. And some of the better hotels, B&B's, around Asheville will give you a discounted ticket or free ones, when you stay there for a certain number of days.

Many AAA offices have discounted tickets, but you have to get them from your local AAA office since that's where the discount is, not at the ticket office at the estate.

I would also recommend AAA. Also a few suggestions. Splurge and rent the self-guiding tapes--you won't be sorry.
Also, drive out to the Lagoon (anyone who works there can tell you where this is). You can even picnic there.
We've found one of the best photo spots is the bridge just accross the way from the enterance to the estate. Take a picture of the estate from that bridge and oh, what a beautiful picture you have. Enjoy your trip.

Thanks to you, I was able to call the AAA office in Asheville and purchase my tickets over the phone. I just had to give them my AAA number. And, yes, they are $32 vs. $37!

Thanks for the photo suggestion! I'll print it out and and take it with me!
