Do visits before May 19, 2023 count towards Passport to Summer?

No, only visits to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay from May 19, 2023 – August 6, 2023 count for Passport to Summer.

Can I earn all of the rewards or do I have to save my visitation for just one?

Pass Members can earn all of the rewards.

Does my visitation start over each time I reach a reward level?

No. Once you reach a reward level, you will be given a voucher with the number of visits you have accumulated so far. You then turn that voucher in with your future visitation vouchers to reach the next reward level. This is repeated until you reach 20 visits.

Can I save all 20 visitation vouchers and redeem all my rewards at once?

No, Pass Members need to redeem their visitation vouchers as they reach each reward level. Every time you redeem a new reward level, you will receive a new voucher with your Passport to Summer status.

When do the rewards expire?

All visits must be completed from May 19 - August 6, 2023. Reward expirations vary by product.

Fountain Soda & Popcorn Reward: Expires 9/30/23

Reserved Seating Reward: Expires 9/30/23

Animal Encounter Reward: Expires 8/26/23

All-Day Dining Reward: Expires 9/30/23

Can reward expirations be extended?

No. Rewards need to be redeemed by the expiration date.

What if my Annual Pass expires before I can redeem my rewards?

You must have an active Annual Pass to participate in Passport to Summer and to redeem any earned rewards.

Can I give my vouchers to someone else to redeem for me?

No, as visitation is tied to each Pass Member barcode and is not interchangeable.

Can I combine visits with other Pass Members to reach the reward levels?

No. Visitation is per Pass Member and cannot be combined with other Pass Members for rewards.

What if I lose my voucher?

Lost or stolen vouchers for visitation and rewards cannot be replaced. Please be sure to keep them in a safe place.

What happens if I don’t get to 20 visits? Can I redeem for other rewards? For example, if I only visited 12 times, can I use the remaining rewards for 2 bags of popcorn?

You cannot get multiples of the same reward. It is one per Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Pass Member. You can earn all five rewards if you visit 20 times from May 19 – August 6, 2023.

Can I only get rewards for visiting Busch Gardens Tampa Bay or do other park visits count toward this promotion?

You can only get these rewards for visiting Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. However, other parks may have a similar program. Please check their websites for details.

If I visit more than 20 times can I participate in the program again from the start?

No. Rewards can only be redeemed one per Pass Member.
