The arithmetic is straightforward: add the gate prices of Busch Gardens, the aquarium, the zoo and Clearwater Marine Aquarium, and the pass saves money as soon as you visit most of them. Busch Gardens alone carries the cost of the others, so the pass works best when that park is on your list. The nine-day window is generous, so you can spread the attractions around beach days, an Egmont Key ferry and a Crystal River morning without rushing.
How it works: you receive mobile tickets. Some attractions require advance reservations, made through the pass provider's website, so build the schedule first, reserve the time-sensitive ones, then leave slack. The choice ticket is picked at the attraction itself: MOSI for a science museum, or the boat tour for a harbor-and-dolphin outing, and holders get discounts if they want to visit both. Cancellation is a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start date.
Practicals and fit: the pass does not cover transportation, special ticketed events, or food and drink. Think of it in two clusters: Tampa (Busch Gardens, Florida Aquarium, ZooTampa, MOSI) and Clearwater (the aquarium and the boat tour). Spreading them across your hotel base saves driving. Fit: families, repeat visitors and multi-day Tampa Bay trips. Less suited to travelers who want only beaches, islands and one or two paid stops, in which case single tickets are cheaper.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
Florida's coaster capital with a serengeti inside it — Iron Gwazi's record-breaking hybrid headlines a lineup Orlando can't match, running alongside a genuine 65-acre African plain of giraffes, rhinos, and the train that tours them.
The Florida Aquarium
Tampa's downtown anchor under the shell-shaped dome — a walk through Florida's own waters from spring-fed wetlands to coral reef, with river otters, free-flight herons, a serious coral-rescue lab, and the channel district at the door.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium
The rescue hospital that became a movie star — the working marine-rescue center behind the Dolphin Tale films, where resident dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees are patients first and the mission is release. Smaller than a mega-aquarium, and prouder of it.
