For added trip planning flexibility, Go Blue Ridge Card holders may select when to use their days during a period of up to two weeks after the card is activated. Your first attraction visit must occur within one year following the calendar year in which your card is purchased. For example, cards purchased in any given year will expire on December 31st of the following year.
According to Smart Destinations, recent average Go Card holder savings topped $24 on attractions alone. For a family of four, that adds up to almost $100, and with careful planning, the savings can increase. In addition to saving on attractions, Go Blue Ridge Card holders receive special offers for shopping and dining at selected shops and restaurants.
