If you're planning to visit multiple attractions in Southern California, there are some combo tickets and passes that are worth considering. You can save money by purchasing one of these special passes, compared with purchasing separate admission to each attraction at the ticket booth. In addition, discounts on the combination passes are sometimes available.

Prices on this page are subject to change at any time.

Which Pass Should I Choose?

There are many different Southern California combination passes now available, and they overlap as far as the attractions they include. In order to help you decide which pass will work best for your plans, I've built the chart below, showing what's included in each pass.

*Option of including neither, or one or the other.

Southern California CityPass

The 2012 Southern California CityPass costs $279 for adults, $239 for kids (ages 3-9). This pass bundles admission to Disneyland plus two other major attractions, and is valid for 14 days. You save 26% compared with buying tickets for all three attractions at the ticket booth. First day of use must occur on or after 1/1/12.

• 3-Day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Bonus Ticket (includes one Early Entry to Disneyland)

• 1-day admission to Universal Hollywood

• 1-day admission to SeaWorld San Diego

The 2012 Southern California CityPass + San Diego Zoo or Safari Park costs $311 for adults, $263 for kids (ages 3-9). This pass bundles admission to Disneyland plus three other major attractions, and is valid for 14 days. You save 26% compared with buying tickets for all four attractions at the ticket booth. First day of use must occur on or after 1/1/12.

• 3-Day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Bonus Ticket (includes one Early Entry to Disneyland)
  
  
• 1-day admission to Universal Hollywood
  
  
• 1-day admission to SeaWorld San Diego
  
  
• 1-day admission to San Diego Zoo OR San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Buying in Person

The Southern California CityPass can be purchased at Disneyland or any of the other attractions included in the pass.

Buying Online

You can also buy the Southern California CityPass online:

• CityPass website sells CityPass at full price. Shipping rate varies and is sometimes FREE.

• Disneyland.com sells CityPass at full price. Will Call (pickup at Disneyland ticket booth) is FREE.

• Universal Studios sells CityPass at full price. Print@Home ticketing is FREE. If you purchase your Southern California CityPass using Print@Home ticketing, your ticket must be redeemed FIRST at Universal Studios Hollywood, where you will receive your tickets to the other attractions.

• If you purchase a 2012 Entertainment Book, you can access a private website that offers a small discount on CityPass. The initially displayed prices look very tempting, but unfortunately the "taxes" (puzzling because there is no tax on amusement park tickets in California) and "fees" that are added during the ordering process are really high. In the end you save less than $3. A CityPass ordered on this site must be picked up at the Disneyland ticket windows. To access the private site, register your Entertainment Book online, then log in and click on the "Events & Attractions" tab.

• Costco.ca sometimes offers Canadians a discount on CityPass. Thanks to Sandy W for info.

Upgrading

Should you decide to upgrade your 2012 CityPass to a Disneyland Annual Pass, you'll be credited $214 for an adult ticket or $198 for a child ticket.

Southern California 2-Park Flex Ticket

The Southern California 2-Park Flex Ticket includes 14 consecutive days of unlimited admission to Universal Studios Hollywood and SeaWorld San Diego. It's a great value at $119 for adults, $109 for kids (ages 3-9). You save over 20% on the adult ticket and over 15% on the child ticket, versus buying the tickets separately at the ticket booth. Also, you can buy this ticket and print it at home, so you won't need to go to the ticket booth.

San Diego 3-For-1 Pass

The San Diego 3-For-1 Pass includes 7 consecutive days of unlimited admission to San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park and SeaWorld San Diego. It's a fantastic deal at $135 for adults, $105 for kids (ages 3-9). This great price is more than 10% less for adults and 20% less for kids than purchasing a one-day admission to each park! The pass includes SeaWorld, San Diego Safari Park and San Diego Zoo admission, with unlimited use of Guided Bus Tour, Express Bus, and Skyfari Aerial Tram at the San Diego Zoo.

• Buy this ticket from aRes Travel and you can print it at home, so you won't need to go to the ticket booth.

San Diego's Fabulous Four Combo

The Fabulous Four Combo includes one day of admission to San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Legoland and SeaWorld San Diego. Cost is $188.99 for adults and $159.99 for children plus a $2 per ticket convenience fee. Consecutive visits are not required. You save up to $30 with the Combo price compared with buying the tickets separately at the ticket booth.

Go Select Pass for San Diego

If you plan to visit at least two major attractions in San Diego and surrounding areas, you can build your own Go Select Pass for San Diego, which allows you to pick from over a dozen attractions, including SeaWorld, Legoland, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park and Knott's Berry Farm. You select the exact options you want and save on your admission!

The Go Select Pass is offered by the same company that sells the Go Cards. This pass is a great option for those that know exactly what they want to see in San Diego, travelers who want to spend a little less than the Go San Diego Card price and people who want to take their time, since the Go Select Pass is valid for 30 days from first use. You have up to 1 year from date of purchase to use your pass for the first time.

Go Cards

Go Cards are available for San Diego and Los Angeles and provide admission to multiple attractions in Southern California. Be sure to look at both cards and see which one fits your plans best, because there is some overlap in what they include.

Go San Diego Card

The Go San Diego Card gives you admission to over 50 San Diego and Southern California attractions, museums and tours, including SeaWorld San Diego (with 3-, 5- and 7-Day cards), Legoland, Sea Life Aquarium, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Knott's Berry Farm, Discovery Science Center, The Hollywood Museum, Kodak Theatre Guided Tour, Reuben H.

The Go San Diego Card will probably save you money if you plan to do a lot of major attractions, boat excursions and bus tours in a short time, but be sure to check on regular prices and generally available discounts first. Many of the museums and walking tours that are included are normally quite inexpensive anyway. You may find it's a better deal to purchase admissions separately. Thanks to Divya for info.
