SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica Orlando have launched a limited-time Fourth of July ticket promotion, offering guests up to 55% off admission across both parks. The sale, which runs through June 22, applies to single-day tickets, Fun Cards, and Annual Passes.
The discounted pricing comes as the two parks – both of which are currently owned by United Parks & Resorts – prepare for peak summer crowds and introduce seasonal events designed to boost attendance and refresh the guest experience.
SeaWorld Summer Ticket Sales
At SeaWorld Orlando, the ticket promotion aligns with its ongoing Summer Spectacular. The seasonal offering includes new attractions and entertainment such as Expedition Odyssey, a flying theater experience, and a nighttime drone show accompanying the Ignite Fireworks Spectacular. Additional family-focused experiences include Hydro Surge and the debut of Baby Shark’s Big Celebration, beginning June 30.
As part of the park’s summer offerings, guests over the age of 21 can also receive one free beer per day.
“Whether you’re here for the thrills, the shows, the animals, or the food, there’s no better time to visit,” said Jon Peterson, Park President of SeaWorld Orlando. “We can’t wait to welcome guests for an unforgettable summer at SeaWorld Orlando.”
Aquatica Orlando is also highlighting its seasonal lineup as part of the promotion. The park’s AquaGlow event—a separately ticketed nighttime experience—will run on select nights through September 27. Returning attractions include Roa’s Rapids, wave pools, and Turi’s Kid Cove for younger guests, along with amenities like shaded cabanas and tiki bars.
“We are proud to invite guests to Aquatica Orlando this summer to discover everything from high-speed thrills to relaxing waterways,” said Brad Gilmour, Park President of Aquatica Orlando. “With exciting limited-time events like AquaGlow, all-new enhancements throughout the park, and beloved attractions that keep guests coming back year-round, there’s no better place to cool off and make unforgettable memories with family and friends.”
Recent Developments at Aquatica
The promotional push follows an incident at Aquatica Orlando earlier this month in which the park was forced to close early after an unplanned influx of teenage guests overwhelmed staff.
Best described as a “TikTok-fueled takeover,” this led to a full-scale shutdown for guest safety.
It marked the second time in as many summers that the park has faced disruptions tied to crowd control. In 2024, a separate incident involving a fight among guests was caught on video and widely shared online.
