Busch Gardens Meal Deal Ticket Prices for 2024

An All-Day Dining Deal can be purchased as an optional extra either separately or as part of the admission ticket. Buying the All-Day Dining Deal as part of your admission ticket rather than as an upgrade is generally cheaper.

Sometimes, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay bundles a special complimentary meal deal with their one, two, and three-park tickets.

With the “all you care to eat and drink” meal deal, you are issued with a special wristband, and then when you join the line at participating quick-service restaurants, you can choose from a range of items on the menus noted below. Re-entry to the line is not allowed until after 90 minutes.

You cannot share your food; it is for the person wearing the wristband.

The complimentary meal deal gives you one select entrée with an accompanying side or dessert and a non-alcoholic drink per day.

If you are buying a multi-park ticket with a dining deal or all-day dining, note that there are some restrictions on where you can eat.

The two-park and three-park all-day dining deals are not valid at Serengeti Overlook™ Restaurant at Busch Gardens, Sharks Underwater Grill, Dine with Orcas and the Flamecraft Bar at SeaWorld, or special events like the Busch Gardens Food and Wine Festival or SeaWorld Seven Seas Festival.

The two-park and three-park meal deals are not valid at Serengeti Overlook™ Restaurant at Busch Gardens, Sharks Underwater Grill, Dine with Orcas at SeaWorld, or special events like the Busch Gardens Food and Wine Festival or SeaWorld Seven Seas Festival.

During special events and festivals, you can often purchase a sampler lanyard, which entitles you to “buy” a number of food or beverage items from the festival food and beverage booths.

These prices are the standard ticket prices you would expect to pay online (unless stated otherwise). Prices do not include local taxes, and tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.

For some meal deals, reservations are required, and there is a cancellation policy generally at least 48 hours. Some deals are only offered seasonally.

The meal deal is only available at participating restaurants: Zagora Café, Oasis Pizza at Serengeti Overlook, Dragon Fire Grill, Zambia Smokehouse, and Chick-fil-A®. It excludes Howl-O-Scream events.

Passholders can purchase a 12-item sampler for the price of a 10-item sampler.
