Hey…check this out.  Florida teachers get fun, free day at Florida theme parks.  We love our teachers and they deserve all the perks.  Big shout out to SeaWorld and Busch Gardens for doing the Teacher Card again this year.  This gives our teachers a chance to have a fun day for free.

Every year, they offer up the Teacher Card.   This is available to all active and certified K-12 Florida teachers.  Teachers will be able to visit the parks for free through Sept. 5, 2024.

How Do Teachers Get A Free Ticket To The Parks

According to the website, To get the card, teachers must pre-register online using the ID.me process.  You will receive a card eVoucher.

Teachers will select the “Teacher ID” button in the top-right, select “Sign Up” and then enter an e-mail address and a password. They will need their Department of Education (DOE) number to prove they are eligible for the program.

Private school teachers in Florida can provide a letter from their principal on school letterhead confirming employment as a K-12 teacher along with a Florida photo ID and their most recent paystub to SeaWorld’s front gate entrance.  They also encourage teachers to be sure to sign up for SeaWorld emails to receive information on future special deals for teachers.

And new this year, teachers can go to Aquatica for a discounted price too.    Florida Teacher Card holders have the option to add Aquatica Orlando for only $45.  The card is valid for unlimited visits to Aquatica from August 22, 2023 – September 5, 2024 with no blockout dates.

Teachers probably want to bring a friend with them, so they have taken care of that as well.   Florida Teacher Card holders can purchase up to two guest tickets to SeaWorld Orlando for $34.99 each.  That’s over a 70% savings!   Teachers must visit with their guests and they must visit by Oct 6th 2023.

Tell all your teacher friends about this great deal.  If you are a teacher, thank you for your hard work and get out and enjoy a fun, free day, you deserve it.
