The park is open by day, and Howl-O-Scream runs select nights through Oct 31 as a separate ticket. Christmas Town runs Nov 13 to Jan 4, 2027.
A day ticket is from $61.99 online, and parking starts at $32 plus tax. That's $93.99 for one person, one visit, before tax.
Going three times or more? The 2027 Fun Card is $129.99 with the rest of 2026 free. If you drive, the $201 Silver pass with free parking is the better buy.
No public promo codes work at Busch Gardens right now. These are the real ways to pay less, and two of them run on countdown timers.
Unlimited Busch Gardens visits now through Dec 31, 2027, plus Adventure Island (through Oct 24, 2027) at the same price. Parking not included.

My take: buy day tickets from the park. For the Fun Card or Silver pass, check Tripster first; it was a few dollars under the park when we looked.– John
Coupon sites list dozens of "Busch Gardens codes." The ones we checked were links to the park's own sales.
Day tickets use the lowest "from $61.99" online price; many dates cost more. Parking is the park's "starts at" $32 for one car. Tax excluded. Pass prices are the Busch Gardens-only sale prices showing Oct 12, 2026.

Online prices plus tax. The park shows $150.99 crossed out next to the Single-Day price but doesn't say it's the gate price.

The Fun Card's $129.99 includes Adventure Island; $210.99 is the park's crossed-out price for that version. Pass versions that add Adventure Island cost more (Silver $234). Monthly plans are 12 payments at 0% APR and keep billing unless you cancel.
| Lot | Single day | With a pass |
|---|---|---|
| General | From $32 + tax | Free with Silver, Gold, Platinum |
| Preferred | From $35 | 50% off with Silver; free with Gold and Platinum |
Preferred rates can change daily. Fun Cards don't include parking.
Tickets are only part of it. Here's a day for a family of four on a cheap date.
Mostly no. Outside food, drinks and coolers aren't allowed. You can bring a water bottle, and guests with special dietary needs should check with Park Security when they arrive. Tripster adds that baby food, formula and small single-serve snacks are OK; the park's FAQ doesn't say that.
Select nights through Oct 31, 7 p.m. to close. Single nights as low as $48.99, Visit Any Night $52.99 (buy at least 2), Unlimited Scream Pass $124.99. It's a separate ticket, Fun Cards and passes don't get you in, and the park says it's for a mature audience. Costumes aren't allowed.
Runs Nov 13, 2026 to Jan 4, 2027.
Add it to a day ticket ($101.99 total on a cheap date). You get a meal every 90 minutes until closing; alcohol and souvenirs aren't included.
Three visits on day tickets with parking cost $281.97. The Silver pass is $201. Do the math before you buy one day.– John
Buying a 2027 Fun Card now gets you the rest of 2026 free, including Christmas Town nights.
Driving in more than twice? Silver ($201) beats the Fun Card ($129.99) plus three days of $32 parking ($225.99).
Groupon's $66.64 is the park's $61.99 with tax. Buy direct.
Want Howl-O-Scream? Night & Day ($97.99) gets you the park by day and the scares that night.
Kids 2 and under get in free.
Not a public one. As of October 2026, coupon sites just link to the park's own sales. Online prices from $61.99 need no code.
General parking starts at $32 plus tax and preferred at $35. Silver, Gold and Platinum pass members park free in general.
If you'll go three times, yes. It's $129.99 for the rest of 2026 and all of 2027. Three day tickets at the lowest price are $185.97. Parking is extra.
No. Howl-O-Scream is a separate ticket. Fun Cards and annual passes aren't valid for entry.
Kids 2 and under do. Florida's free Preschool Card for kids 5 and under closed registration on Sept 30, 2026.
