How to Claim Your Offers
These offers are not available for purchase at the front gate, so you must secure them online before you go:
- Visit the SeaWorld Orlando website and navigate to the Waves of Honor / Military Tickets page.
- Click the button to verify your military status through ID.me. (Note: Spouses must log in under the active-duty member or veteran’s account to claim dependent/guest tickets).
- Once verified, you can select your free tickets, discounted tickets, or annual passes.
- Be sure to bring your valid military ID to the front gate when you visit, as the service member or veteran must be present with their guests.
