Go San Diego Card | San Diego 3 for 1 Pass |
Notes
Both are great pass the 3 for 1 pass is specialized. It is a great deal if you want to go to SeaWorld. If you are just going to the Zoo or Wild Animal Park, there are cheaper options.
The Go San Diego Card is a good bet if you want to go to many different kinds of attractions in San Diego. It includes just about everything you can do including the Zoo, Aquarium, Whale Watch, LegoLand, and just about everything in Balboa Park. On a 3day card, you can use one of the days to go to SeaWorld.
