Busch Gardens Announces Free 2026 Preschool Admission for Florida Kids Ages 3-5
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is offering Florida families a chance to bring their young children to the park at no cost in 2026 through its Preschool Card program. Children ages 3 to 5 can receive free, unlimited admission to both Busch Gardens and Adventure Island for the entire year by registering for the Preschool Card and activating it with an in-park visit by February 28, 2026.
The complimentary Preschool Card is available exclusively to Florida residents and allows eligible preschoolers to enjoy world-class rides, animal encounters and family-friendly attractions at no charge through December 31, 2026. Parents or guardians must complete online registration for each child and present confirmation, along with proof of age and residency, when redeeming the card at the park’s ticket window.
This initiative aims to make memorable theme park experiences more accessible for families with young children while encouraging repeat visits throughout the year. In addition to admission, the card doesn’t include free parking or discounts on food or merchandise, but it opens the door for preschoolers to explore Busch Gardens and Adventure Island at no cost.
