Yes, you read that right! Florida teachers can once again visit SeaWorld Orlando for free with the return of the SeaWorld Florida Teacher Card.
The program gives eligible Florida-certified K-12 classroom teachers unlimited admission to SeaWorld Orlando through September 2, 2027. That means teachers can visit throughout the year to enjoy the park, spend some time with the animals, or even bring a little of what they learn at SeaWorld back into the classroom.
“Teachers play a critical role in shaping future generations, and SeaWorld Orlando is honored to support their efforts by providing opportunities to connect learning with real-world experiences,” said Brad Gilmour, Park President of SeaWorld Orlando. “We hope educators will take advantage of all the park has to offer throughout the year.”
Teachers must register online and verify their eligibility through ID.me. Once verified, they’ll receive a SeaWorld Florida Teacher Card eVoucher for their complimentary admission. Teachers who want to add Aquatica Orlando can also purchase unlimited admission to the water park for $49.99, valid through September 2, 2027.
There’s also a pretty nice deal for anyone hoping to bring family or friends along. For a limited time, eligible teachers can purchase up to two SeaWorld Orlando tickets for just $38.99 each through ID.me. You must purchase and use those discounted tickets by October 2, 2026.
Education has long been a major part of SeaWorld’s mission, and the program gives teachers an opportunity to experience the animals, conservation efforts, and educational resources firsthand. By giving Florida educators year-round access to the park, SeaWorld hopes those experiences can extend beyond the park gates and into the classroom, helping teachers inspire curiosity and a greater understanding of the natural world in the next generation.
And with the Teacher Card valid for nearly an entire year, teachers will have plenty of opportunities to experience SeaWorld Orlando’s seasonal events along the way, such as:
Three Kings Celebration | January 2027: SeaWorld kicks off the year by celebrating the traditions of Latin cultures and the arrival of the Three Wise Men with a family-friendly celebration featuring special entertainment, food, and festivities throughout the park.
Ocean Discovery Days | January 2027: This one is brand new for 2027! Ocean Discovery Days will give guests a closer look at what happens behind the scenes at SeaWorld, with animal encounters, hands-on activities, and experiences highlighting the park’s rescue, research, and animal care work.
