Visiting SeaWorld Orlando? Looking for the cheapest ticket options? We know of 10 great hacks to save money on tickets we’ve picked up from our many years of trips to SeaWorld. Let our expertise help guide you towards a more affordable trip!
- Purchase A Ticket Through Groupon: In my opinion, the best way to get cheap SeaWorld tickets is Groupon. What’s great about Groupon is that prices are all inclusive, meaning there are no extra taxes or fees. That’s what makes their prices cheaper than if you purchase your tickets through SeaWorld’s website. They sell everything from single-day tickets to fun passes (which could get you admission for the rest of 2026, minus some select blackout dates).
- Purchase A Ticket Through SeaWorld’s website: There are times where the tickets are cheaper on SeaWorld’s website. It really depends on the sale they are running. I would compare the prices. The trick, though, is to put the tickets in your cart on SeaWorld’s website like you are purchasing the tickets to see what the final prices is, because they add a lot of fees. Then you can compare it to Groupon’s price. The other thing you can do on SeaWorld’s website is purchase an annual pass, which gets you yearly admission with no blackout date and other perks (such as free parking and discounted food & drink). These are wonderful perks but it is only worth it if you visit SeaWorld a lot.
- Purchase A Ticket Through Tripster: I’ve used Tripster before to save money on SeaWorld tickets. They have some great discounted SeaWorld ticket rates. You can also package the tickets with your hotel or other attractions (such as Disney World or Universal Orlando tickets) to save money.
- Purchase A Ticket Through Undercover Tourist: Another place you can check for deals is Undercover Tourist. They have a lot of sales that help you save money on tickets. I have purchased SeaWorld tickets through Undercover Tourist in the past in order to save money on tickets. Additionally, you can book your tickets along with a hotel which can help you save money.
- Purchase A SeaWorld Orlando Vacation Package: SeaWorld also offers special vacation packages that can save you money. They have themed packages such as Howl-O-Scream packages or packages that give you other perks like free dining or free tickets for kids.
- Waves of Honor Military Discounts: This discount only applies if you or someone in your family is a member of U.S. armed forces. But if that describes you, you can get discounted or even free tickets as part of SeaWorld’s Waves of Honor Program.
- SeaWorld Florida Teacher Card: Certified K-12 Florida grade school teachers can get a SeaWorld Florida Teacher Card which can you get free admission. Once again, not everyone is going to be able to get this discount, just qualifying teachers.
- SeaWorld Preschool Card: Here’s another good deal that only a select number of people can use. Florida residents can get free admission for kids ages 5 years old and younger with the SeaWorld Preschool Card.
- SeaWorld Orlando College Pass: The SeaWorld Orlando College Pass can get college students free tickets through May 31, 2027.
- Group Tickets: If you bring 15 or more people, you can qualify for a group rate here.
