Military Appreciation Weekend

Join us for our monthly Military Appreciation Weekend as we honor the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of our nation’s heroes. It’s a powerful way for families to come together, show support, and celebrate the spirit of gratitude.

SeaWorld proudly supports the men and women of the U.S. armed services through its Waves of Honor military salute program. The program provides free admission to the SeaWorld® and Busch Gardens® Parks, and Sesame Place® for members of U.S. armed forces. Learn more.

In partnership with Support Our Troops, we invite guests to write heartfelt postcards to active-duty service members at our designated mailbox—sharing words of encouragement and appreciation.

A Remembrance table and a dedicated photo backdrop offer meaningful spaces to reflect, remember, and pay tribute to the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
