What is this program about?
Waves of Honor Complimentary Admission is a tribute to the men and women of the U.S. armed forces including active duty military, reserve soldiers, airmen, Marines, sailors and Coast Guardsmen.
What does it include?
Waves of Honor complimentary admission permits any U.S. active duty military, activated or drilling reservist, or National Guardsman to one complimentary admission per year to either SeaWorld®, Busch Gardens®, or Sesame Place® for military personnel and as many as three direct dependents. The offer is valid for one park and one visit only.

Do military retirees or civilians working for the Department of Defense qualify?
Only U.S. active duty military qualify for the Waves of Honor complimentary admission.
Do reservists and National Guardsmen qualify?
Certainly. All active and ready reservists and members of the National Guard, regardless of deployment status, qualify.
My spouse is serving overseas. Can dependents visit the park without their service member?
Yes. You need to verify the active duty members military status using GovX online. While, spouses & family members of military personnel can create a GovX account, the complimentary/discounted tickets are only accessible to those accounts verified as a service member, veteran, or retiree. Once verified you can print out up to three direct dependent single day admission tickets.
But I am a single parent serving overseas. My children are living with a relative. How can my kids visit?
The primary caregiver should contact the Guest Relations Department of the park they'd like to visit. They will make accommodations for minor dependents. Proof of military status and deployment is required.
I am service member from an Allied country, does this program apply to me?
No. The Waves of Honor Program only applies to U.S. military members.
