Where to buy Sea World tickets?

Just about everywhere you go on the Gold Coast someone is trying to sell you tickets to Sea World.

So where will you get the best deal?

That is a question I am going to try to answer, but I do caution that information changes so I have kept it general but useful.

Click here to buy your theme park tickets if you know what you want.

Sea World Tickets


Locals Versus Visitors - is the price the same?

Sea World admission for visitors is the same as for locals. However, there are some coupons or discounts from time to time that only locals can use.  

When you use these types of coupons you have to prove your residential address using something like your drivers licence.  

So if you are visiting and find a great looking deal on the back of your shopping docket, read the fine print!  Or if you find a great deal on Ebay - check the seller's feedback to find out if these are useable items!

For locals these Sea World coupons can have great savings. We have used these too to buy our Sea World tickets!

Sea World Coupons

Sea World usually doesn't discount their tickets for visitors.  You may get lucky, but most discounts or coupons from other ticket sellers often only represents a couple of dollars on a ticket that will be $60 to $70 for a day general admission.  There really are not enormous discounts for Sea World tickets to be found - if you find one, please let me know!

I find trying to keep a track of coupons or discount vouchers can be a pain, especially when I am on holiday.  I prefer to prepay my attraction and theme park tickets and usually I do that online before I travel. Online, I can often get a discount, but I want to make sure that who I deal with is reputable.  

Prepaid Sea World tickets are usually valid for a certain time.  Do check this, as the price of Sea World tickets does change usually once a year and you don't want to get caught out.

Are Passes the Best Way To Get a Sea World Discount?

The simple answer is they can be, but like anything there is a bit more to it than that.

Three of the Gold Coast theme parks are owned by the same company they are:
  • Sea World
  • Wet 'n' Wild Water Park
  • Movie World - "Hollywood on the Gold Coast"

One of the best ways to get a good discount on admission to these theme parks is to buy one of their passes, cover more than one park.

There are three passes on offer for visitors wanting to visit more than one of these three parks.

Fun Pass

The Fun Pass gives you a single day entry to each of the three theme parks valid for a 5 day period from the first visit.  For an adult this could save you between $27 and $35* approximately.

Click here to find out more about the Gold Coast Theme Parks Fun Pass.

Super Pass

The Super Pass gives you unlimited entry to the three theme parks for a 14 period from the first visit. For an adult you would pay approximately the same for this pass as you would if you purchased all 3 tickets at each park individually, but you could spend 14 days going to the parks every day!*

Escape Pass

The Escape Pass gives you one entry to your choice of two of the theme parks over a 3 day period from the first visit. This pass is a bit of a sneaky one, you would not save anything if Wet n Wild was one of your choices here.  You could save $21 to $27* approximately per adult if you choose Sea World and Movie World!

Click here to find out more about the Gold Coast Theme Parks Super Pass.

* Please note: prices of Sea World tickets and passes are subject to change which will affect the savings shown here.  These are only shown as an illustration of the savings. White Water World and DreamWorld are owned by a different company and these passes do not cover admission to either of those parks.

Which Pass?

If you are are here for a few days and want to go to Sea World and Movie World - pick the Escape Pass.

If you want to visit Wet 'n' Wild and only one of the other two and you want the flexibility of having more than 3 days to visit the two parks, you are better to purchase individual tickets online at a discount. Individual tickets will be slightly more than the Escape pass (a couple of dollars if bought online, a bit more if you buy at the gate).

If you are here for up to a week and want to visit all three parks only once each then the Fun Pass is a great option that will save you - if you feel like cramming and want to go back to one of the parks, look at the Super Pass.

If you are here for more than one week, and you want do the Theme Parks big time and plan to visit any one of them more than once, then the Super Pass is a great option for your Sea World tickets.


As you can see each of the passes offers different terms and flexibility of usage.

And finally, if you think you will get your money's worth there is also the option of an Annual Sea World Pass or plain old Sea World tickets!
