Busch Gardens has started the new year with a free pass to the Adventure Island water park with the purchase of its 2023 Fun Card that gets you unlimited admission to the Tampa theme park for the rest of the year.
The offer also offers one free day of parking, which is worth $30. The park is also bringing back its Preschool Card, which offers free admission to kids 5 and younger, provided their parents register in advance.
The offer, which gets you the Adventure Island and Busch Gardens Fun Cards for $132.99, includes one free day of parking, which has climbed to $30 in recent years. The sale ends Jan. 15 at buschgardenstampa.com. The Fun Card includes unlimited admission through Dec. 31, but does not include parking or discounts on food or shopping like some of the higher-tier annual passes offer.
For Florida residents, the free Preschool Card allows admission for the rest of the year for ages 5 and younger. You must register online before Feb. 26 at buschgardens.com/preschoolcard.
NOTE: This story has been updated from previous editions to clarify that Busch Gardens is only offering a free pass to the Adventure Island water park and a one-time parking pass worth $30.
