The best way to get a discounted Busch Gardens ticket is to buy it before you arrive at the park. Tickets bought at the gate are full price, and you wont receive discounts, even if youre entitled to them. So, if you're determined to save on admission, seek special offers and look for vouchers available online -- then make like a Busch Gardens alligator and snap up a ticket early.
Visit the Official Website
The SeaWorld website sells the Busch Gardens Fun Card. Although the card costs the same as a regular Busch Gardens ticket bought at the gate, the card offers free admission to special events, such as the Real Music Concert Series and Brew and BBQ, so you will find at the end of the day that you still saved money.
Get a AAA Discount
If you're a AAA member, call or check online for special discounts. The AAA website sells tickets for just a few dollars less than you would pay at the door, but adds a coupon for a free meal, including drink, entree and side dish.
Take Advantage of Your Military Status
Members of the military, both active and reserve, can get a free ticket for themselves and up to three members of their family to Busch Gardens. To get free entrance, you have to visit the website Hero Salute and request the ticket in advance.
Make Your Rewards Points Count
Check any loyalty program you belong to for special discounts to Busch Gardens. For example, Hilton HHonors, American Express Membership Rewards Points and the Canadian company Air Miles allow you to exchange points for a ticket to Busch Gardens.
