Kids Free at SeaWorld San Diego and Sesame Place in October

Just in time for Halloween festivities, SeaWorld San Diego and Sesame Place offer kids free entry in October as part of Kids Free San Diego. We have everything you need to know to take advantage of this exciting promotion.

We can help you save on tickets, tours, and hotels. When you purchase through some of the links below, we may be compensated. Thank you for supporting our small business! Our editorial guidelines.

Kids Free at SeaWorld San Diego in October

It’s all about kids at SeaWorld San Diego. With the purchase of each full-paid adult single-day admission, you will receive one free child single-day admission. Children must be between 3 and 9 years old to receive the free ticket. Children 2 and under get free admission year-round.

Other kids’ free opportunities include Dine With Shamu and Dolphin or Beluga Interaction Programs. Some restrictions apply. We recently experienced Dine with Shamu, so have a look at our review.

Kids Are Free at Sesame Place San Diego, Too!

Bring the little ones and experience some serious water fun at Sesame Place San Diego. Previously Aquatica San Diego, Sesame Place is a fantastic seasonal water theme park based around Sesame Street.

Although it’s technically a SeaWorld park, it’s totally separate from the main theme park and is located around 20-30 minutes away in Chula Vista.

With the purchase of each full-paid adult single-day admission to the Sesame Place waterpark during the month of October, you’ll receive one free child single-day admission. Again, the child must be between 3 and 9 to qualify. Children 3 and under are free.

Check SeaWorld’s ticket information for more details. And, if you can’t visit during the Kids Free promotion, I have tons of advice on finding discount SeaWorld San Diego tickets.

(Speaking of free, look at our list of free things to do in La Jolla.)
