SeaWorld Parks: The Return of the $50 Weekday Ticket

ORLANDO, Fla. (February 25, 2014) – SeaWorld® Orlando and Busch Gardens® Tampa think weekdays need to be celebrated – especially weekdays during spring break.

Both parks are offering a special $50 Weekday Ticket, on sale for only 50 days, good for a single weekday admission to either park, now through May 5, 2014, including spring break. Now, that’s cause for celebration!

At SeaWorld Orlando, guests will find themselves surrounded by SeaWorld’s 50th Celebration and a Sea of Surprises. Busch Gardens Tampa is the ultimate family adventure, offering 300 acres of fascinating attractions, like Florida’s first triple-launch coaster Cheetah Hunt.

The $50 Weekday Ticket is available online to U.S. residents at SeaWorldOrlando.com or BuschGardensTampa.com or by calling (888) 800-5447. The $50 Weekday Ticket is valid for one weekday’s admission to either SeaWorld Orlando or Busch Gardens Tampa and must be used by May 5, 2014.

SeaWorld 50th Celebration, Sea of Surprises and more:

Kicking off March 21, SeaWorld Orlando’s pathways come to life with oceans of spontaneous entertainment. “Bubble Blowout” is a fantastical vehicle creating bubbles of all sizes and shapes. Engaging performances with sea-inspired costumes and props will pop up at surprising moments to surprise guests throughout the day, like “Splash Dance.” The “SeaWorld® Surprise Squad” will roam the park on a daily basis giving away prizes and special gifts, including exclusive access to rides, behind-the-scenes experiences, Shamu-themed merchandise, reserved show seating, and more. 

There’s more: A pair of Magellanic penguins, a lemur, or even a parade of flamingos could surprise guests at any moment. And, to showcase SeaWorld’s commitment to the environment and passion for protecting the ocean, a series of giant sea life sculptures will be displayed throughout the parks. SeaWorld commissioned environmental art group The Washed Ashore Project for a collection of larger-than-life sea-themed sculptures – many weighing more than half a ton. The materials used to create these pieces came from the billions of pounds of garbage – mostly plastics – that wind up in our oceans. These amazing works of art point to the urgent need to protect marine animals from such dangers and preserve their ocean habitats.

At SeaWorld Orlando’s new Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin, families are transported into an icy world like they’ve never seen before where they can explore the majestic grandeur of the South Pole and see it through the penguins’ eyes on a first-of-its-kind family ride. Then, guests step off and explore a massive penguin colony of nearly 250 feathered friends – gentoo, rockhopper, Adélie and king penguins -- in an expanse that envelops them in cool extremes, both above and below the penguins’ icy world.  It’s a must-see, one-of-a-kind experience only at SeaWorld Orlando.

Busch Gardens Tampa, Cheetah Hunt and more:

Busch Gardens® Tampa is the ultimate family adventure, offering 300 acres of fascinating attractions based on exotic explorations around the world. Everyone will enjoy the unparalleled mix of animal encounters, captivating shows and thrilling rides.

Dive like a bird of prey aboard the thrilling coaster SheiKra. Soar like an eagle, roar like a tiger, and discover shared family fun playing with your littlest ones at Sesame Street’s Safari of Fun.

And experience a new breed of speed, with Florida’s first triple launch coaster, Cheetah Hunt.
