6 Ways to Save on Adventure Aquarium Tickets

Does your child or family member love animals or the ocean? If so, you’re probably looking for coupons and discounts and any other way to save on Adventure Aquarium tickets where you’ll see the largest collection of sharks on the East Coast, Little Blue penguins, Nile hippos and more than 8,500 aquatic animals.

A general admission ticket to Adventure Aquarium will cost visitors $29.99 (or $21.99 for children). You can wait until you visit and pay full price at the box office, or you can use any one of these methods to save as much as you can on your admission ticket!

:: Discounted Family, Adult and Child Memberships. Groupon offers aquarium memberships for 24-36% off. You can choose from 4 Memberships and 2 General Admission Tickets, 1 Adult Membership, or 1 Child Membership. This deal typically seems to be available in the springtime.

:: Groupon Deal. Groupon also offers kids and adult tickets that are discounted 13-27% off depending how many you purchase. These discounts are only available for a limited time, so be on the lookout for when they are available for as little as $17.99 each! 

:: Goldstar Discount Tickets. Goldstar offers kids and adult tickets that are discounted about $5-8 per ticket. These discounts are only available for a limited time, so be on the lookout for when they are on sale!

:: City Pass. Save up to 44% on combined attraction prices by getting a one-time admission pass to your choice of 3, 4 or 5 top attractions in Philadelphia. Your pass is valid for 9 consecutive days. Attractions included are Adventure Aquarium, The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia Zoo, One Liberty Observation Deck, Please Touch Museum and more!! **RECOMMENDED

:: A Go City Card (previously called the Philadelphia Pass) can be purchased and is valid for 30 days, so you don’t even need to visit everything in the same weekend! All-inclusive passes are not valid for 30 days.

:: Go Philadelphia Pass is available on Groupon. This is a great deal if you are visiting several locations, as it includes: Bus Tour, Adventure Aquarium, Philadelphia Zoo, Eastern State Penitentiary, and One Liberty Observation Deck and more. There are 8 options available and include 2, 3 or 5 day passes for children and adults at a highly discounted rate. **RECOMMENDED

:: Philadelphia Sightseeing Pass is one pass to 35+ Philadephia attractions. Save up to 52% on gate prices—just show your mobile as you visit. Watch for additional holiday sale discounts too!

:: Philadelphia CityPass also offers discounts for visiting a variety of places in Philadelphia, including The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia Trolley Works Tour & The Big Bus Company, as well as the One Liberty Observation Deck. The Philadelphia CityPass includes choice options of 3, 4, or 5 attractions ($49.00, $65.00, and $77.00 respectively). Kids passes are for ages 3-12.

:: Military Discount. There is a $4 discount on one-day admission tickets for active or retired military, disabled veterans, and military reservists, spouses and dependents. Valid military personnel IDs and dependent IDs are required.

:: Senior Discount. Guests 65 and older can receive a $2 Senior discount – simply show your ID and you’re in!

:: TD Bank Membership Savings. Use your TD Bank card at the Box Office and receive 10% off a Membership purchase!
