Ways to Get Single-Day Discount Tickets

Do you dare ride Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg?

Latest Single-Day Ticket Deals

From time to time, the park-- or places like Groupon-- offer single-day ticket deals which could save you 50% or more off the price of a single-day ticket. The trick is catching these deals while they last, which sometimes is only a few days.

For example, here's a great deal:

July 4 Deal

Now through July 4, the park is offering their Fun Card for just $49.99, providing unlimited visits through Sept. 8. That's a full 50% off their regularly price of $91.99 for the Fun Card. Go to the Busch Gardens site to get this deal.

EXPIRED: Groupon Deal:

Groupon is offering a limited time deal that will save you 41% off a single-day ticket (you pay $49.99 instead of the regular $84.99). Go to Groupon now before this deal is gone. (If the deal doesn't come up immediately, enter "Busch Gardens" in the Search box.)

Ongoing Places to get discounts

Try AAA

AAA always offers its AAA members discounts on tickets. They may be as much as 10% per ticket. Call your local office to find out what the exact discount for this year will be.

But WATCH OUT-- to get the discount you have to order your tickets through AAA ahead of time. Planning to just show up at Busch Gardens and flash your AAA card to get your Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount tickets? You'll get nada...

The Busch Gardens Williamsburg Website or Twitter feed

I really recommend you subscribe to the park's Facebook or Twitter feed, because sometimes they have special "online only" or Twitter feed ticket offers. Plus, if you buy your tickets online, you can print the tickets at home and skip the ticket lines at the park. Here is the Busch Gardens Williamsburg website - www.buschgardens.com.

Their Twitter feed is @BuschGardensVA.

Parks and Recreation Departments -

Potentially save up to $20 per ticket!

Don't miss Busch Gardens Williamsburg's latest ride, Verbolten.

Many southern Virginia parks & rec offices may offer slight discounts, including the Virginia Parks & Recreation site, which has in the past offered $3 off Busch Gardens Fun Cards and Water Country USA Fun Cards. They also offered certain periods during the summer where you could save up to $20 per single-day ticket.

Unfortunately, as of now they have only posted Kings Dominion discounts (which are pretty good, so you should check them out!) but maybe they'll offer them again next year. Go to www.vrps.com for details.

Preschool Pass deal & 2-Park Deals

Getting set to ride Italy's "Flying Machine" at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

Register online at the park's website and bring in the registration confirmation and a valid ID (a birth certificate or a passport) to the park.

Ongoing Busch Gardens Williamsburg Discount Tickets Deals

The observation deck below Griffon is a great place to cool off at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

Here are several spots I've found where you can generally get Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount tickets for single-day admissions:

1) Your Human Resources Department or Alumni Association-

Many companies, school districts, and alumni associations offer Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount tickets coupons to their employees, so give yours a call. My sister-in-law (a Regent University graduate) was able to get Fun cards for about $40 each (about $30 off) last year by purchasing them through Regent University. I've also seen coupons good for at least $12 off single-day tickets in the mail room at the school where I work. Check with your Human Resources dept (probably late April or so).

Stocks in "England." Hmmm. Wish I had one of these at home...

2) Travelodge King William -
This Williamsburg motel often offers its customers discount coupons for Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Colonial Williamsburg!

3) Boy Scout/Girl Scout Discounts -
In the past, you could get a significant discount if you mentioned that you had a boy scout in the family. They change their discounts from year to year, but it might be worth a try!

Try Your Local Library

The Little Balloons ride in the Italy section of Busch Gardens Williamsburg is the perfect gentle ride for the kiddies.

Stop by your local library starting in late April or May for Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount tickets--especially once summer hits-- and you may find coupons good for 25% off single-day admissions (up to six) to either Busch Gardens Williamsburg or Water Country USA.

According to my librarian, the "head office" of public libraries in Virginia sends these coupons out to all their branches," so be sure to check your local branch for the coupon!

Two things to keep in mind...

Remember, one drawback to using most discount coupons is that you'll have to wait in line at the park's ticket office to use them. And the lines can get pretty long in the summer! If your time is limited, and you're dying to hop on as many of the top rides as possible, it may be worth paying the extra money to get an online ticket...and bypass the lines!

Another thing to consider: Williamsburg hotel package deals can provide significant ticket discounts. But be careful!

I've been told that area hotels sometimes have pamphlets with Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount ticket coupons. But I'm a bit skeptical, since the tourist guides (like the "Colonial Guide") don't generally contain Busch Gardens Williamsburg coupons. Still, you might ask at your hotel.
