Theme parks generally offer discounts for local visitors, but it ultimately depends on each state, and each theme park.

In this page, we'll cover if Florida Residents get discounts at theme parks, and if so, which theme parks offer them.

Do Florida Residents Get Discounts at Theme Parks?

Yes, most theme parks offer Florida Resident discounts for local visitors, and these discounts are typically always cheaper than regular admission rates.

You will have to purchase your tickets directly from the theme park to obtain these rates.

Visitors will have to show proof of Florida residency. The easiest way to do this is with a Florida Driver's license.

It's important to know that these Florida resident rates often change as well.
