How we got these numbers
| Part | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Without the deal ≈ $616: For each of you: one Two-Day Ticket plus one single-day ticket bought online for the cheapest dates; no parking. | ||
| Two-Day Ticket, $101.99 a person (4 people) | $101.99 × 4 = $408 | SeaWorld San Diego tickets page, checked November 1, 2026 |
| Single-Day Ticket bought online, from $51.99 a person (4 people, 3rd visit) | $51.99 × 4 = $208 | SeaWorld San Diego tickets page, checked November 1, 2026 |
| With the deal ≈ $400: Four SeaWorld San Diego Fun Cards: unlimited visits through December 31, 2027, except blockout dates; no parking. | ||

Rough estimate, not a quote: the 3rd visit uses the cheapest date-based online day ticket (from $51.99), the Two-Day Ticket's two visits must be within 6 months of purchase, and tax, fees and parking are not counted on either side.
Trip cost: the estimate counts park tickets only; add tax and fees (not included), parking and your trip to San Diego (for example flights from New York City, which we have not priced).
What a family of 4 gets
Example family of 4: 2 adults and 2 kids aged 4 and 8 (children under 3 enter free; everyone older needs a card).
- Unlimited SeaWorld San Diego visits for each person with a card, from the day you buy through December 31, 2027.
- Four cards at $99.99 each, one per person aged 3 or older.
- Blocked days: July 3, 4, 10, 17, 24 and 31, and September 5 (no year shown; our reading: 2027).
- Each card is for the named person only and cannot be refunded or passed on.
Is it a good deal?
- Buy it if you will go at least three times before the end of 2027; for two visits, the Two-Day Ticket ($101.99 a person) costs about the same.
- SeaWorld San Diego's tickets page (read November 1, 2026) lists single-day tickets from $51.99 online and the Any Day Ticket at $117.99.
The catch
- Each family member aged 3 or older needs a card.
- Parking is not included, and tax and fees are added at checkout.
- Seven summer weekend and Labor Day weekend dates are blocked, and the card renews automatically: check that setting before you pay.

- Price a card for each family member aged 3 or older at checkout.
- Check your visit dates against the blockout dates, add parking if you will drive, and check the automatic-renewal setting.
