SeaWorld Orlando is one of the few aquatic theme parks left in the nation that can be enjoyed as a half-day or whole-day park, depending on your goals for that day.
However, it is quickly becoming a park that may need a whole day to conquer.

Final Thoughts
As you can see, SeaWorld Orlando treats its Pass Members like VIPs. While using your annual pass, take advantage of the perks and try to explore as much of the park as you can.
Many of the animals are tough to see in your lifetime, so I love how SeaWorld makes sure they educate you on each animal residing in the park.
They also have a strong commitment to conservation by providing financial and scientific support to organizations focused on animal rescue and rehabilitation, conservation education, habitat protection, and species research.
Don’t forget to take advantage of the Busch Gardens CityPass deal where you can do multiple attractions in Tampa for one low price!

Just curious to know. If you have a platinum annual pass from San Antonio and are going to a different park like sea world Orlando. Can you use for friends for free pass at that park? And are the perks for that pass good for a different park that’s on the list of 11 other parks you have access to? Thanks
My pass only covers the Orlando and Tampa parks. Each park SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Aquatica Orlando, etc. will have their own separate Pass Member deals for the month. It’s best to log into your account to see what this month’s perks are as they change each time 🙂
if you have a pass with free parking (we’re considering the platinum so we can go to parks in FL & VA) does it include free parking at every park? or just your “home” park?
Hi Andrew!
From my understanding parking is included, but this benefit may vary outside of your “home” theme park location. You can double check by calling the Annual Pass Member phone number at 1-407-545-5550.
Ok, so if I purchase a Gold pass for myself…. Can I use the dining discount etc for everyone in my party? Like if I brought my 2 kids and husband, can I purchase 4 all day dines at the 15% discount?
Hi Jennifer!
Thanks for writing in. From my understanding, if you have a Gold Membership Pass, you can use your discount on the total cost of your all-day dining purchase. But, always double check with a Team Member before you purchase as their terms of use are always changing.
