In Celebration of July 4th, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is honoring Veterans and Active-Duty Military with Free Tickets

 In advance of Independence Day, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island Water Park are honoring the bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. military active-duty and veterans and their families to enjoy a day at the parks for FREE.


It's Busch Gardens' way of saying thank you – and giving America's heroes the chance to create unforgettable memories with the people they love.


U.S. military veterans will receive free one-day admission for themselves and up to three guests. Veterans can register for this offer through June 22 and have until July 6 to visit the parks with their free tickets. Active-duty military and three guests continue to enjoy one-day complimentary admission all year long – and between now and July 6th will receive 3 additional FREE tickets to share in the fun.


The offers are part of United Parks & Resorts' Waves of Honor program, a longstanding partnership saluting active-duty military members, veterans and their families by offering special pricing and promotions throughout the year.


For more than 20 years, the company has been proud to provide complimentary park access to members of the United States military, and as a result, more than 10 million guests – active-duty military members, veterans and their families – have enjoyed free admission through the Waves of Honor program. Whether it's educational animal experiences or thrilling attractions, military families are invited to the parks for a day of family fun.

Eligible U.S military veterans and retirees can register for complimentary single-day ticket(s) for themselves and up to three dependents before June 22 at www.WavesofHonor.com. After registering, all tickets must be redeemed by July 6. Service members and their direct dependents must have a valid active military ID to participate.


Any U.S. active-duty military activated, drilling reservist or National Guardsman can also take advantage of one complimentary admission for themselves and up to three dependents per year to both Busch Gardens parks and their corresponding water parks – PLUS receive three additional free tickets for dependents between now and July 6. Additional discounts and offers are available for active military and veterans through MWR and ITT offices on U.S. military bases and online at www.WavesofHonor.com.
