TAMPA -- Busch Gardens has raised its daily ticket prices by $4, though the price of annual passes and parking at the theme park will remain the same.
The new daily admission at Busch Gardens in Tampa is $61.95 plus tax for adults and $51.95 plus tax for children ages 3 to 9.
Also Friday, Busch Entertainment Corp. raised SeaWorld Orlando ticket prices by $3 to offset expenses from three new rides and a new Shamu show. A standard one-day adult ticket now costs $64.95 and a front-gate ticket for 3- to 9-year-olds is also up $4 to $53.95.
The company will continue its Fun Card program, which allows Florida residents to visit the two parks for an unlimited number of times per year for the price of a one-day ticket. Members of the military and National Guard will continue to receive free admission.
Central Florida's two other major theme parks, Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, both raised their one-day ticket price to $67 in August.
