What is the SeaWorld Orlando Preschool Card?

The SeaWorld Orlando Preschool Card is essentially a pass that grants preschoolers, ages five and under, free admission to the theme park for the calendar year. That’s for unlimited visits. It’s only available to Florida residents, though. Floridians love to vacation in their own state, so it’s still an amazing deal if you have a preschooler.

The SeaWorld Orlando Preschool Card includes popular, family-friendly SeaWorld events including Inside Look, Elmo’s Birthday Celebration, Sesame Street Kids’ Weekend, Seven Seas Food Festival, Electric Ocean and the kid-favorite Spooktacular.

Why would SeaWorld offer this deal? They know that offering kids admission, that have to get into the park with a paying adult, will increase their sales. Adults will pay for their tickets, the price of food and possibly souvenirs. Plus, since it’s open to Florida residents, adults are more likely to buy themselves an annual pass. That means more visits! It’s a pretty smart idea.

How To Register For A SeaWorld Orlando Preschool Card

If you want a whole year of family fun, you’ve got to act quickly in the beginning of the year. Advance registration must be completed online, for the Preschool Card, by the beginning of February. Guests must redeem their ticket (go into the park to activate it) by March 31. When you activate it, you’ll have to show proof of preschool registration as well.

Once activated, the Preschool Card is valid for admission through December 31. The card is not available at the park front gate. Guests must register for the card online. You’ll receive an email with your confirmation. Save that email and show it to the front gate when you activate the card.
