August is shaping up to be a packed month for SeaWorld Orlando Annual Pass Members. The currently announced rewards include free in-park spending, complimentary festival samples, exclusive Mako merchandise, discounted Howl-O-Scream tickets, free Quick Queue offers and a special after-hours VIP Zoo Night.

Aquatica Orlando has also begun posting its August Pass Member rewards, although its current list appears less complete than SeaWorld’s. As always, additional and last-minute bonus rewards could be announced throughout the month.

Here is everything currently available to SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica Orlando Pass Members for August 2026.

SeaWorld Orlando August 2026 Pass Member Rewards

Additional $10 in SeaWorld Bucks

Dates: August 1–9

SeaWorld Orlando has added another $10 in SeaWorld Bucks for Pass Members. The voucher can be printed at an in-park self-service kiosk and used toward select food, merchandise and experiences.

The SeaWorld Bucks voucher is valid only on the day it is printed, so do not redeem it from the kiosk until you are ready to use it.

Passport to Summer Finale

Dates: Through August 9

The Passport to Summer program concludes on August 9. Pass Members can continue recording qualifying visits and unlocking rewards, leading up to the program’s top reward: a complimentary dinner for two at Sharks Underwater Grill.

Pass Members must retain their accumulated visitation vouchers to redeem the corresponding rewards.

Free Pass Member Basting Grill Brush

Dates: August 1–2 and August 8–9

Pass Members can pick up a free limited-edition basting grill brush from Fins Gifts during the first two weekends of August.

The brush is available while supplies last, with a limit of one per visiting Pass Member. An active SeaWorld Orlando Annual Pass must be presented at pickup.

$44.99 Guest Tickets

Dates: August 1–31

Pass Members can purchase up to four guest tickets for $44.99 each during August.

Tickets can be purchased through the Pass Member Portal or from an in-park self-service kiosk. The Pass Member must be present when the guest enters the park, and parking is not included.

Red, White & BBQ Discount Sampling Lanyard

Select event dates through August 23

Pass Members can purchase a discounted Red, White & BBQ sampling lanyard containing 12 samples for the price of 10.

The Pass Member lanyard can be purchased through the Pass Member Portal or at the Welcome Center. Additional Pass Member discounts do not apply to the lanyard.

Free Red, White & BBQ Festival Sample

Dates: August 15–16 and August 22–23

Pass Members can receive one complimentary Red, White & BBQ food or beverage sample on each eligible event date.

Print the voucher from an in-park self-service kiosk and redeem it at a participating festival location. Eligible items will be marked on the festival menus.

National Roller Coaster Day Mako Tour

Date: August 16

SeaWorld Orlando will celebrate National Roller Coaster Day and Mako’s 10th anniversary with an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the roller coaster.

Tours are scheduled for 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., with only 50 spaces available for each tour. Pass Members must register in person at the SkyTower Tour Desk, and reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each Pass Member may reserve only one tour time, and guests are not permitted.

One important note: SeaWorld’s announcement calls August 16 a Saturday, but August 16, 2026, falls on a Sunday. The listed date remains August 16, but Pass Members should verify the event details before making a special trip. Apparently even calendars occasionally need a Quick Queue.

Free Mako 10th Anniversary Lanyard and Pouch

Dates: August 16–31

Pass Members can celebrate Mako’s 10th anniversary with a complimentary Mako ride lanyard and pouch.

The giveaway will be available at Reef Treasures while supplies last. Pass Members must show an active Annual Pass, and the offer is limited to one set per visiting Pass Member.

Pass Member VIP Zoo Night

Date: Thursday, August 20
Event time: 7–9 p.m.

SeaWorld Orlando will host a special VIP Zoo Night exclusively for active Bronze, Silver, Gold and Florida Platinum Pass Members.

The evening will feature animal exhibits, special presentations, dining and shopping after the park’s regular 7 p.m. closing time. Accompanying SeaWorld Orlando Preschool Card holders may also attend, but Pass Member guest tickets, Fun Cards, Teacher Cards and Friends and Family Passes are not eligible.

VIP Zoo Night Presentation Schedule

Select restaurants, bars and stores will also remain open. Flamecraft Bar and Glacier Bar are scheduled to offer buy-one, get-one-free happy-hour appetizers.

However, rides will not operate during VIP Zoo Night. This is an animal-focused event rather than a traditional Pass Member ride night.

Exclusive VIP Zoo Night Vouchers

Pass Members attending VIP Zoo Night can print several additional vouchers from the self-service kiosks during the event:

• 30% off a Dolphin Encounter, Up-Close Tour or Beluga Tour, valid August 21–October 31

Silver, Gold and Florida Platinum Pass Members can receive one complimentary animal feeding tray during August.

Print the voucher from an in-park self-service kiosk and take it to a participating feeding location. Depending on availability, Pass Members may select a shark, sea lion or stingray feeding tray.

The voucher must be redeemed on the same day it is printed.

Florida Platinum Pass Member Rewards

$10 Off a $50 Merchandise Purchase

Florida Platinum Pass Members can receive a one-time $10 discount on a qualifying merchandise purchase of at least $50 during August.

A voucher must be printed at an in-park self-service kiosk and surrendered at checkout. Some specialty merchandise, games and rental products are excluded, and the offer cannot be combined with SeaWorld Bucks.

Double Food and Beverage Discount

Florida Platinum Pass Members can receive a one-time double discount on a qualifying food or beverage purchase during August.

The double discount provides a total discount of 20% and can be used at one park of membership. It does not apply at the water parks or toward alcohol, festival samples, sampling lanyards, All-Day Dining or specialty dining experiences.

Additional August Pass Member Merchandise

SeaWorld is also offering an August Pass Member otter pin and sea turtle mug for purchase at participating retail locations while supplies last.

A new hard-stock Annual Pass card featuring Guy Harvey artwork is available from the Pass Member Lounge or front-gate ticket windows with a $5 donation benefiting the Guy Harvey Foundation.

Keep Checking for Newly Added Rewards

SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica Orlando frequently add surprise rewards, bonus guest tickets, additional in-park spending and other limited-time offers after the initial monthly lineup is published.

Pass Members should continue checking the parks’ monthly rewards pages, Pass Member portals, emails and in-park kiosks throughout August. Offers may also change, sell out or be canceled without notice, and complimentary merchandise is generally available only while supplies last.

So until the next blog, podcast or livestream, keep making memories.
