“Following a challenging year, it’s a true privilege to honor the brave men and women who serve and sacrifice so much for our country,” said Marc Swanson, interim chief executive officer of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. “We are honored to continue this longstanding tradition as a small gesture of the deep gratitude we owe all those who serve and offer their families the chance to make unforgettable memories.”

SeaWorld and Busch Gardens said tickets must be obtained online at wavesofhonor.com and redeemed at the theme park by June 27. Active military members should verify veteran status through the link provided on SeaWorld’s website, while former service members must provide military ID at the front gate.

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