SeaWorld San Antonio Parking: All You Need to Know Before Visiting
When you pull up to the parking lot, you'll realize there are multiple options available when parking at the SeaWorld San Antonio park.
In this page, we'll go over all of the available parking options, why you'd consider other parking options, and how they stack up against each other.
Types of Parking at SeaWorld San Antonio
There are two types of parking at SeaWorld San Antonio including:
- General Parking
- Up-Close Parking
1. General Parking
General Parking is going to be your most basic and cheapest option when parking at SeaWorld San Antonio.

It's also the most common parking choice amongst visitors.
General Parking will be $32 consistently every day of the year, for one car, motorcycle, or RV/Camper.
You're able to pre-pay for parking directly from the SeaWorld San Antonio site.
Why Pre-Pay For Parking?
It's simple when you pre-pay for parking you can just show the parking attendant the receipt, and they'll seamlessly let you through in seconds.
Whereas if you decide to pay at the park, you'll have to spend a few minutes there, as they process your payment, before providing you with your receipt.
Take into consideration the hundreds of visitors who will do this while you're in line behind them, and you'll wish everyone had prepaid parking!
2. Up-Close Parking
Up-Close Parking will provide you access to park closer to the entrance of the park, at a higher cost than general parking.

You may think that it's not a big deal, however, you should take into consideration how you will feel after a long day at the park.
After walking around for the entire day and having a fantastic experience, some guests they don't want to spend another half an hour (on a busy day) walking back and trying to find their car.
Preferred Parking prices change daily and can range from $42-$52.

Upgrading From General Parking to Up-Close Parking
If you decide to pre-pay for a General parking pass, and later on decide that you'd like to go the Up-Close parking route, you can do so at any parking toll booth.
This occurs more often than you think, and the parking attendants will help you easily upgrade your pass.
