How to get a 2024 Sea World Preschool Pass
Planning a trip to Sea World with the family? If you’re traveling with kids ages 3-5, read on to learn how to get FREE preschool passes for them.
Each of the parks has slightly different dates and rules, so be sure to check for important details.
Preschool Pass for Sea World Orlando
Sea World Orlando, Florida, is open year-round. The Free Preschool Card is only available to Florida residents ages 5 and under.
Online registration for the Orlando Preschool Card runs until February 4, 2024. This is a short window!
You will then need to visit SeaWorld Orlando or Aquatica Orlando by February 29, 2024, to activate the pass. Once activated, it provides free admission through December 31, 2024, with no blackout dates. That means the kids can also attend the Halloween and Christmas events for free!
For parents and siblings accompanying preschoolers to the park, look at the ticket options. The best value is a Fun Card to both parks for just $209, though there are some blackout dates.
Preschool Pass at Sea World San Antonio
The SeaWorld theme park in San Antonio, Texas, is also open year-round. The Free Preschool Card is only available to Texas residents ages 5 and under.
It gives free admission to Sea World through January 5, 2025, including Halloween Spooktacular and the Christmas Celebration. You can add unlimited admission to Aquatica Waterpark for $37.
Online registration runs until March 31, 2024.
For parents and siblings accompanying preschoolers to the park, look at the ticket options. The Season Pass to BOTH SeaWorld and Aquatica, with no blackout dates and FREE parking is on sale for $125. That’s an incredible value!
Preschool Pass for Sea World San Diego
Sea World San Diego, California, is open year-round. New in 2024–they no longer offer a Free Preschool Fun Card. They are selling a limited amount of them for $24 to kids who are residents of San Diego County and Orange County. The Card gives unlimited free admission through December 31, 2024. There are a handful of blackout dates.
Online registration for the San Diego Preschool Fun Card is open, and you must activate it at the park by May 31, 2024.
For parents and siblings accompanying preschoolers to the park, a Fun Card is $104.99 and also goes through the end of the year. It has the same six blackout dates as the Preschool Pass.

My biggest question is is I have my preschool cards for my boys that were got since we live in TX due to military service, if we can only use the cards in TX or can we use in Orlando while visiting family back home.
Thanks

And now that I'm digging some more, it looks like you can apply to free admission to EACH park but have to do so by July 9th. If I'm reading it right. https://seaworld.com/orlando/tickets/military-discount/veterans/

Hi Ronda! I don't know the details of your military cards, but if they are through Waves of Honor, you should be able to find that info here: https://seaworldentertainment.com/programs/waves-of-honor
