TICKETS AND PASSES—SeaWorld admission costs $114 for everyone; $20+ discounts and $45 adult/$23 kid meal plans are available online for some days. SeaWorld sells Quick Queue Unlimited ($15–$80, depending how busy it is), which allows you to cut lines on the adult rides by entering through the exit. There’s a version for reserved seating for the shows, too, for $15–$60. You can buy both online ahead of time or in the park via electronic kiosks labeled UPGRADE YOUR DAY!—but check regular wait times first, because neither one is usually warranted. If you buy ahead online, you can often get cheaper admission to either Aquatica or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, too.
