Free Fun Program
Stay at The Shore Thing and get complimentary admission tickets to some of Florida's best attractions — every single day of your trip, at no extra charge.
What Is the Free Fun Program?
Island Inn Resort partners with Florida's top attractions to give guests free daily admission tickets as part of their stay. Every night you're here, you earn one ticket per attraction — so a 5-night stay means 5 days of free Busch Gardens, 5 days at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, and so on.
There's no catch, no timeshare pitch, and no fine print. It's simply one of the best perks of staying at Island Inn — and it's included automatically with qualifying stays under 28 nights.
One ticket per attraction, per night
Free Fun tickets are included with stays of 1–27 nights. Stays of 28 nights or longer are not eligible for the program.
