Military veterans and up to three guests invited to enjoy free admission during tribute program
SeaWorld® San Diego is honoring the men and women who have previously served as members of the U.S. armed services with a special free admissions program. Starting now the park is offering complimentary admission to military veterans and up to three additional guests. Tickets must be obtained by Sept. 30, 2017 and can be redeemed for park admission by Dec. 30, 2017. This offer is available online only.
“The service and sacrifice our veterans have given our country is something that should make us all proud,” said Marilyn Hannes, SeaWorld’s park president. “At SeaWorld, we appreciate all they have done and we are again extending our appreciation by offering them free admission to the park. We hope they can spend a great day with us at the park with their families and friends.”
Veterans must register online at www.WavesofHonor.com in advance, and verify their proof of service through the ID.me qualification process. SeaWorld works with ID.me to provide an online verification of former military personnel in a secure and privacy-enhancing manner. Once veterans and their guests have registered online, they can bring their e-tickets directly to the park’s entrance turnstiles.
SeaWorld has also paid tribute to active duty service members through a complimentary ticket programs for the military since 2003 with more than two and a half million members of the U.S. and allied armed forces and their families having visited the park for free. SeaWorld has also offered a number of complimentary and discounted admission programs to veterans in the last 14 years, as well as complimentary offers to teachers and emergency first responders. These admission offers have been very well received.
