Free admission is available to preschool guests at SeaWorld and Busch Gardens parks in 2025 — find out which parks and how to register.
Updated Feb. 6, 2025; original version published Jan. 19, 2025.
Preschool Cards are season-long admission tickets for guests ages 3-5 at SeaWorld and Busch Gardens theme parks. (Both franchises are owned by United Parks & Resorts.) If your child is currently five years old, they can continue to use their Preschool Card for free admission through the duration of 2025 as long as the child was five years old at the time of registration.
Note that guests ages 2 and under do not need admission tickets for any of the parks at any time.
