SeaWorld's Four-Park Ticket Jumps $30 to $249.99, $2 Above Its Spring Break Sale Price

Published

SeaWorld Orlando's Four Parks ticket, good for unlimited visits over 14 consecutive days, now costs $30 more. The increase showed up between Sunday night, October 4, and Tuesday, October 6, the same window in which SeaWorld raised the gate prices it compares its online tickets against. A "Save Up To 55% On Tickets" banner, which counted down to the end of Sunday, October 4, came down, but SeaWorld swapped in a "Save up to 60% on tickets" banner that is still on the page.

The Four Parks: Unlimited Visits + Free Parking ticket on SeaWorld Orlando's tickets page is now $249.99. It was $219.99 when we checked the page on the evening of Sunday, October 4, and it was already $249.99 by midday Tuesday, October 6. Our copy of the page from the evening of Saturday, October 3, also shows $219.99.

Internet Archive copies of the page show this ticket's price has moved all year, usually under a named promotion. It was $239.99 in mid-January, $245.99 in February, $247.99 in early March during a "Spring Break Sale," and $214.99 in May during a "Memorial Day Sale." It was $219.99 from at least July 9, labeled a "Summer Sale" and later an "End of Summer Sale," and by late September the sale label was gone while the price stayed $219.99. That makes $249.99 the highest price we have seen on the page this year, but only by $2.

What the four-park ticket gets you

SeaWorld describes it as unlimited visits "for 14 consecutive days and free parking at any combination of SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island." The page now pitches it at "$62.50 /park," up from $55. Its promo tagline changed from "Save Over 25%" to "Save Over 20%."

The ticket prices that went up

  • Four Parks, Unlimited Visits + Free Parking: $219.99 to $249.99 (up $30)
  • Two-Day Two Park Ticket: $100 to $106 total, or $50 to $53 a day (up $6)
  • Two-Day Two Park with All-Day Dining Deal: $160 to $166 (up $6)
  • Three-Day, Three Park with All-Day Dining Deal: $210 to $225 (up $15)

The three-park dining version changed separately. Our October 6 copy of the page still showed $210, and it was $225 by October 10. The page's pitch for that ticket's dining add-on changed with it, from "about $25/day" to "about $30/day."

What did not change

The Three-Day, Three Park ticket on its own is still $135, or $45 a day. The online single-day ticket still starts at $59.99, and the Any Day ticket is still $99.99.

The single-day ticket's savings claim did change, though. Its tagline went from "Save Up to 55%" to "Save Up to 60%," and the red line that used to read "Tickets Starting at $59.99" now reads "Save Up to 60%." That is not because the ticket got cheaper. The comparison price SeaWorld lists beside the $59.99 ticket rose from $147.99 to $151.99. The same bigger savings figure now runs across the top of the tickets page.

Aquatica Orlando's own deals page shows the same $53-a-day Two-Day Two Park pricing.

We found no public statement from SeaWorld about the changes.

Does the four-park ticket still make sense to you at $249.99, or is a pass the better buy now?
