Military members need a vacation? Busch Gardens offering free admission to you and your family!

Ready for a vacation? If you’re a U.S military veteran then you and your family can get into the theme parks for free this summer.

Today through July 15, veterans and three guests may enjoy free admission to Busch Gardens in Tampa and other parks across the country. This includes admission to SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment properties as well.

This offer is part of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment’s longstanding Waves of Honor program, which salutes active duty military members, veterans and their families by offering special pricing and promotions throughout the year.

Since its launch in 2005, more than 10 million guests – active duty military members, veterans and their families – have enjoyed SeaWorld parks for free through the Waves of Honor program.

Veterans must redeem their complimentary single-day tickets online HERE by June 9 and use the tickets in park by July 15. This offer is available online only and not at the front gate.

Active Military and Veterans can always receive discounted admission tickets through MWR and ITT offices on U.S. military bases as well as www.WavesofHonor.com.

For more information and park hours, visit www.BuschGardens.com and follow Busch Gardens Tampa Bay on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
