Florida Black Friday Deals (2024): Theme Parks & Activities

Your guide to Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for Florida theme parks and activities near Pinellas – updated for 2024!

Looking for Black Friday deals that are great for families in the Clearwater-St. Pete area? We’ve rounded up all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for nearby theme parks, museums, annual passes and kid-friendly activities.

Many awesome Florida places are running specials for Black Friday so this is a great time of year to start your year of fun. Also, annual passes and tickets make great Christmas presents for you or your family (many of these places make our list of great experience gifts for Pinellas families!).

We are two local moms in Pinellas and write about family-friendly fun in our area. Saving money is a big priority for both of our families, so finding kid-friendly activities is a big win.

We hope that this post will help your family save money this holiday season too.

Let’s find some deals!

Note: This page will be regularly updated for 2024 as deals become available. Deals are also subject to change so always verify them before going to an attraction.

Legoland & Peppa Pig – Winter Haven

• Annual passes up to $100 off
• Up to 55% off tickets
• Website

If you’re looking at annual passes, we like the Elite Pass if you think you’ll use the Peppa Pig add-on (Malena got these annual passes on the Black Friday sale this year). Adding Peppa Pig is extra on a Gold Pass, but during the Black Friday special the Elite Pass is only a bit more than that and includes Peppa, free preferred parking and no blackout dates.

Note: Unfortunately, they have stopped their preschool passes in recent years after the Peppa Pig Park so you may need to buy a kids pass for your little ones.

Universal Studios

2024 deals not yet announced

Last year, Universal Studios has some good Florida Resident deals on tickets for Black Friday, including a Buy a Day, Get a 2nd Day Free Special.

Note these special deals were not available at the gate so you have to buy in advance.

Busch Gardens offers a lot of good Black Friday deals on annual passes and tickets. They also have sales on their joint passes and tickets to Adventure Island and/or Sea World, and extras like dining passes.

Black Friday is when Malena always gets Busch Garden passes for her family.

We also really like Busch Gardens for annual passes because you can get a free admission for a year for kids 5 years old and younger with the “preschool card” program. Registration usually opens around the beginning of the year through March. You can find Busch Gardens details on this website.
