Calling all military members and their families!! As I have mentioned over the past few years, the Here’s to the Heroes Program is offering up a FREE admission at participating Anheuser-Busch parks to all active duty, activated or drilling reservist, or National Guardsman.

To snag your FREE admission, here is what you need to do…

*Click here to register OR register in the entrance plaza of participating parks; you will be required to show a Department of Defense photo ID.

*As many as three direct dependents of military personnel also are entitled to free admission. Dependents may even take advantage of the offer without their service member, though an adult must accompany minor dependents, and dependent ages 10 and over must present a valid dependent I.D.

*This offer is valid for one complimentary single-day admission per person, per year, during the regular operating schedules at one of the following: SeaWorld Orlando, San Diego, or San Antonio, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay or Williamsburg, Sesame Place, Water Country USA, Adventure Island (NOT valid for separate ticketed events including Christmas Town at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Tampa.)

(Thanks for the reminder, Suzan!)

    So not good for retired military?

    • Kyra Kilian

      I agree….It’s a great program but I think it should be extended to retired military as well.

      • Renae

        I agree, as well. It would be nice if it was extended to the military retirees.

        • Smellyann

          This, too. We’ll be there next year and still young, yet. Why not extend it? Ok, enough whining and complaining from me 😉

          • Elena

            I agree…its says “Heres to the Heroes”, which should include “Veterans”

            • Tomoko

              I agree. I wish they would offer this program for Veterans too.

    THIS IS SO GREAT!! Love it when we give to those who give so much!

  3. Ashley

    This is a great program!! When my husband and I were both active duty Air Force, we got to go to Sea World San Antonio for free….twice! 🙂

  4. Mandy

    Thanks for the info. I am in the Soldiers Angels program and write letters to our serving men and woman. I will include this info in my letters – something to look forward to when they return safely to us!! THANK YOU!

  5. Carrie S.

    This is a great program! We have been able to take our kids to Sea World for free for the past 3 years! We plan on going again this year!

  6. denise

    THANK YOU THANK YOU! We are going to Orlando when my husband returns from this deployment and I am so happy to see we can enjoy seaworld! Thanks so much as I DID NOT know about this deaL!

  7. marcia

    We’re going to Disney World next month and will have a couple extra days there. Thank you for reminding me we can do this, too!

    • Lisa

      The San Diego Zoo also has some great military discounts… If you’re already going to be down there you should check into it. It’s soo nice there.

  8. Smellyann

    The only thing I hate is it’s limited to 3 dependents, and we have 3 kids. Gone are the days of “under 2 gets in free,” too. I think they should open it up to however many dependents a servicemember has. I know families with 6, 7, 8+ kids. Enlisted? They’ll never be able to all go.

  9. Stephanie

    When we went to Sea World they allowed our family of 6 in for free. Not just three dependents. I think they look at your group to see if you are trying to bring extra people. I would call to check.

    • Smellyann

      THanks for the tip, Stephanie!

    • cheryl

      we have 4 kiddos (one’s a baby), but had to pay for one extra admission last year when we used this. it was still an awesome deal and great that they honor our troops!

  10. John

    I spent 20 years in and got my retirement. When I was active I never got the opportunity to take advantage of these things and now that I am out. I still cannot:(

    • Tomoko

      I can feel your frustration. 🙂 My hubby was in the Navy for 20years and retired and we didn’t know about this either.
      By the way, His name is John too!

  11. Lisa

    We used these about 5 yrs when we visited Southern California. Soo nice that they do this for the military (although I do agree that this should be extended to retired as well). But for those who can use them, its a great deal. There was no hassile with using them either, just show up and give them the print out and show your ID.

  12. Erica

    Love that they do this for military! Amusement parks are SO expensive these days – will have to let my kiddo in the AF know.

  13. Stacy

    We live about 1 hour from Busch Gardens Williamsburg. This is a great program and we always see tons of people taking advantage of it. Busch Gardens is an awesome, beautiful amusement park!

    • Smellyann

      We live an hour from there too, Stacy 🙂 We usually alternate between BG and WC USA, year after year.

  14. melody
