Are Sea World and Discovery Cove owned by the same company?

[torinsmom]

I noticed you can get tickets to Busch Gardens or Sea World when you book a DC vacation. Are they all owned by the same company? Is so, is there any kind of DC discount if you have a season pass to SW or BG? We are going to BG in Williamsburg in a few months, and I would definitely buy the season pass if it would help with DC.

DC, SW, and Busch Gardens are all owned by Anheuser Busch. The only deal I know of is free entry into SW or BG Tampa with a DC purchase. Although I'm not sure if that's still going on. I don't think your Williamsburg trip would help in any way.

I just peeked at the DC website. They're offering a 10% discount if you book 60 days in advance.

It's an amazing experience!!!!!!!!!

All the same company,Ainheiser Busch.I have the Platinum pass which gets me into Sea World Orlando, San Antonio and San Diego,Busch Gardens in Tampa and Williamsburg,the water parks in Tampa and Williamsburg and Sesame Place in Pennsylvania.No free entry to Discovery Cove though just a discount.Now I'm just waiting for when they open their new waterpark Aquatica to see if that will be included with my pass!!!

I am a Platinum passholder and get free access to all the Seaworld and Busch Gardens Parks. We don't get free access to DC, but the website is showing that you can save up to $90 at discovery cove as a passholder member. You get the DC discount with a Platinum or normal season passes. You also get a 10% discount on food and merchandise at the parks.

I would call and ask about the savings at DC for annual passholders. The nmber is 1(800) 432-1178 or 1(800) 327-2424 . It might save you money to but a season pass.

Discovery Cove is owned by Busch Entertainment Corp. Just in case you really wanted to know, it's a seperate company from Anheuser-Busch.

Not that it's vitally important but Busch Entertainment Corporation (BEC), is a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch, and is one of the US' largest theme park operators, with nine locations in five states. BEC owns three SeaWorld parks in California, Florida, and Texas. The Florida location also houses Discovery Cove, Busch Gardens Tampa and Florida's Adventure Island. They also own Virginia's Water Country and Busch Gardens, Williamsburg.
