Instead of buying separate tickets for each park, you can choose bundled passes that offer better value and flexibility, especially if you plan to visit more than one park.

Single Day Tickets

Single day tickets are ideal if you’re keeping things simple.

Best for:  • Short stays  • Visiting one specific park  • Adding a park into a broader itinerary

For example, if you’re mainly interested in marine life and family friendly attractions, a single day at Sea World may be all you need.

When booking, you’ll usually have two options:

Book A Day (Regular Ticket)  Lock in a specific date. This is the best value if you know exactly when you’ll visit.

Flexible Day (Flexi Ticket)  Visit any day within 3 months of purchase. Perfect if you want flexibility around weather, busy schedules, or last minute changes.

online in advance can often save you money and makes planning easier.

👉 Tip: If you’re considering more than one park, it’s worth comparing multi day passes before purchasing as they’re often better value.
