Free Preschool Pass

Our Preschool Pass grants children between the ages of 3 and 5 years old complimentary entry into both Busch Gardens® Williamsburg theme park and Water Country USA® water park. This ticket product is an online-only offer and is available on a limited basis.

2020 Preschool Passes are valid through November 1, 2020 and must have been activated by visiting the park by May 31, 2020. Once expired, parents will need to wait for the 2021 Preschool Pass registration window to re-open and apply for a new one.

Our parks offer a limited number of Preschool Passes each year. Registration for 2020 begins January 27 and ends May 31. Once registered, passes must be activated by visiting the park by May 31, 2020.

Please follow our Facebook (opens in new window) page or check out our park blog for more information and updates.

The free 2-Park Preschool Pass is available for kids who are between the ages of 3 and 5 years old.

Our Preschool Pass only covers admission for the children they were issued to. Accompanying parents and/or guardians must purchase their own tickets or participate in our Membership Program before entering the park.

Our Preschool Pass does not include free parking for either Busch Gardens® Williamsburg or Water Country USA®.

To save time, we suggest purchasing parking online for Busch Gardens or for Water Country USA. Free parking* is just one of the many benefits of becoming a Member.

* Free parking is subject to availability. Please check your Membership for details on benefits.

Some of our sister parks like SeaWorld® (opens in new window) or Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay (opens in new window) may offer Preschool Passes. Please see their park sites for specific information.

As long as your child is 5 years of age on the date you register for the 2-Park Preschool Pass, you are eligible for requesting a Preschool Pass for the year.

There are currently no residency restrictions associated with our 2-Park Preschool Pass, so you do not need to be a Virginia state resident in order to register.

Our 2-Park Preschool Pass is available for entry into both Busch Gardens® Williamsburg and Water Country USA® parks during their spring, summer and fall park seasons.

Once the Preschool Pass has been issued and redeemed for your child, you may use it for their entry into the park through November 1.

Please check our park hours prior to your visit.
