Military members get deals at U.S. theme parks

Military members are honored at a number of hot theme parks with free admission this year!

Members of the U.S. military and their families can visit SeaWorld and other Anheuser-Busch parks free. The “Here’s to the Heroes” program provides for a single-day admission to any SeaWorld or Busch Gardens park, Sesame Place, Adventure Island or Water Country USA for the service member and as many as three direct dependents.

Any active duty, active reserve, ready reserve service member or National Guardsman is entitled to the free admission (once per year). Those taking advantage of the offer should register in advance at HeroSalute.com. Or, a Department of Defense photo ID can be presented at the entrance plaza of the park.

Dependents may take advantage of the free offer without their service member, though an adult must accompany minor dependents, and dependent ages 10 and over must present valid dependent I.D.
