fee may be required.
What are the age ranges for Child,
Adult and Senior Passports?
Child and Senior age ranges vary between parks. Each Passport description
specifies these ages and you can choose appropriately. For example, if your
child has a SeaWorld Florida Child Passport and just turned 10 years old,
he or she will be renewed to an Adult Passport.
How long are Passport prices valid?
The duration of Passport prices depends on each parks's seasonal or year-round
operating schedule and if it is a regular price or special offer. All prices
are subject to change without notice.
I just renewed my Passport online,
but when I received my order my photo was not on the back – is that ok?
Worlds of Discovery has a new system for Passport members that allows you to enter the park by placing your index finger in a reader, which recognizes your unique finger print for identification. Passport members will still need to have their membership card with them, but will no longer need to have photos taken for select Passport products. As long as you have an active Passport, your card will automatically be set up to work at the entrance to the park—you don't have to do anything.
Education
Can I use a Purchase Order from my school
to order materials online?
We accept Mastercard®, Visa®, Novus/Discover® and American Express® credit cards
(issued by U.S. banks only). Although Purchase Orders are not accepted for
online orders at this time, we can accept Purchase Order payments via phone

What if my school has a tax exempt
certificate?
Before tax exemption can be applied to any Education Reservation, a Texas Tax Exempt Certificate must be completed and sent back to SeaWorld San Antonio. In addition to a Texas Tax Exempt Certificate, payment must come from the tax exemption organization (Organization Check or Organization Credit Card). If payment is made with a personal check or personal credit card and does not have the name of the organization printed on the check or credit card, tax will be applied. If you have any questions regarding tax exemption, please contact us at 1-800-700-7786.
