Do you know which is the world's largest marine adventure theme park? Yes you're right. It's Sea World San Antonio, the 250 acre Texas theme park which showcases different forms of marine wildlife (such as shamu, dolphins, sharks, seals, sea lions etc), 6 exciting rides, world class animal shows and close encounter with marine life and exhibits. No wonder it's currently ranked as one of the top 5 most popular attractions in Texas!

While it's doesn't exactly cost you an arm or leg to let spontaneity guide your Sea World San Antonio vacation, planning well ahead can be the gateway to great savings. Especially if you're know where to get Sea World discount tickets. But just how much can you save with such cheap tickets to warrant the hassle?

Let's illustrate this with some calculations. If a family of four (2 adults and 2 children between 3 to 9) decide to spend 2 days at the park, buying Sea World tickets for each day at the gate will require at least $392. But if the same family gets their tickets online and prints them at home, they get to visit the marine adventure park for just $196. A 50% discount! Do note that the figures used in this illustration is subject to changes so always check the existing prices before making your plans.

Perhaps you may be asking "So, where can I get such Sea World discount tickets?". Here are some tips :

(1) Buy & Print Get Your Tickets Online Via Sea World's Official Website

Getting your tickets before reaching the gate helps you slash a modest percentage off the price. For a start, if you get single day passes online and prints them at home, you'll get 10% off each ticket (subject to conditions). Should you decide to get the multi-day tickets, 2 days of fun at the marine paradise will only cost you the price of 1.
