Available beginning June 30th, 2008, the "Pick Two" combines visits to any two of the Florida Worlds of Discovery - SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island - for only $79.95.

For guests who want unlimited visits at a value unmatched by any other theme park, Busch Gardens and SeaWorld's "Pay for a Day" offer has been extended through Labor Day.

"We recognize that Florida residents expect, and deserve, a value like none other," said Joe Couceiro, corporate vice president and chief marketing officer for the Worlds of Discovery. "Pay For A Day and the new Pick 2 are the best family entertainment offers for Floridians. These offers show just how much we appreciate our neighbors."

Single-day adult admission prices for the Florida parks are $37.95 for Adventure Island, $41.95 for Aquatica, $67.95 for Busch Gardens and $69.95 for SeaWorld Orlando.
