Friends, get your beads and holiday cheer ready! If you’ve been looking for a sign to finally go to SeaWorld San Diego, here it is: today, January 24th, the incredible Mardi Gras begins! This New Orleans-style celebration will last until February 22nd, and I just got back from the park to tell you how to get the most out of it without spending all the money in the world.

Now SeaWorld has transformed into a real French Quarter on the ocean: jazz, bright costumes and, of course, fantastic SeaWorld San Diego discount tickets that allow you to save up to 60%.

This is the perfect time to visit, because the festive atmosphere adds drive to every attraction.

What discounts does the Mardi Gras sale offer us?

SeaWorld Entertainment and Marine Life: My Personal Top

While the park is in the New Orleans atmosphere, be sure to find time for its main stars. The entertainment programs are now adjusted to the festive mood, so you won’t be bored. Here are my favorites:

Graceful Belugas: Polar “Canaries”

Interesting fact: Did you know that belugas are called “sea canaries”? They are able to make up to 11 different sounds: whistles, chirps and even something resembling bells. They are also the only cetaceans that can turn their heads in different directions, because their cervical vertebrae have not fused. Watching their facial expressions is a special kind of pleasure!

Dolphin Adventures Show: Ocean Energy

What’s interesting: It’s not just tricks to the music. You’ll learn how bottlenose dolphins communicate with each other and how SeaWorld trainers help them stay in shape. If you want to feel the real power of nature (and a little salt spray), sit in the first 10 rows – the “Soak Zone”. But on Mardi Gras, you better take care of your holiday beads, because dolphins know how to “greet” very wet!

Riptide Rescue: Become part of the rescue team

Why it’s cool: This ride simulates a real-life sea turtle rescue mission. SeaWorld has rescued over 40,000 animals, and Riptide Rescue lets you experience the thrill of a lifeboat hurtling through the waves. Trust me, the gondola will take you straight to the top! Just one word of advice: don’t go here right after you’ve had a beignets or ribs at Smoke House.

Flamingos: The Pink Influencers

Fun fact: Have you ever wondered why they’re pink? The secret is in their diet—they eat lots of small crustaceans and algae, which are rich in carotenoids. They are very interesting to watch at SeaWorld: they are incredibly social and constantly put on their “bird parades.” A perfect place to take a break and refresh your Instagram feed.

SeaWorld San Diego Savings Secrets: Annual Tickets and Packages

If you want to come back to the park again and again (and I’m sure you will), look into SeaWorld annual tickets, or annual passes. You save up to 35% and get a bunch of bonuses:

• Free parking and up to 8 tickets for friends.
• Up to 50% off in-park purchases.
• The ability to add a Sesame Place season pass for just a few dollars.

Also, check out SeaWorld vacation packages. Prices typically vary depending on the hotel and date you choose, but they typically start around $110–$130 per person per night.

With Mardi Gras Weekends officially kicking off today, January 24, demand is on the rise, but package deals remain a bargain thanks to the built-in perks.

Why these packages are a bargain (even without additional discounts):

• Kids Free: There’s often a FREE single-day child’s admission (for children ages 3–9) with the purchase of an adult ticket.
• Dining: Many packages include one FREE day of All-Day Dining, which can save you about $40 per family member.
• Partner hotels: For example, hotels near the park (like Howard Johnson or Heritage Inn) offer rates from 2,400–2,600 UAH ($60–$65) per night, making the overall cost of your trip much more affordable.

If you’re looking for the best value, consider that the packages already include admission to two parks (SeaWorld and Sesame Place) and merchandise coupons, allowing you to get more bang for your buck than you would if you booked them separately.

Where else can you find SeaWorld San Diego discount Tickets?

Although SeaWorld.com is #1 for me, I don’t forget to check out the proven services:

• Groupon: Here you can often find offers with a discount of up to 66% and good hotel options nearby. Just search for “SeaWorld tickets Groupon” and the browser will give you the available information.
• Why is this a working option? Because you can’t always find cheap SeaWorld tickets at the box office or on the official SeaWorld website, and if you do, you will have a limited time.
• CityPASS San Diego: If you also plan to visit LEGOLAND or the Zoo, CityPASS will save you up to 44%. Getting SeaWorld San Diego discount tickets through this service is one of the most reliable ways to save money.
