Busch Gardens is an action-packed theme park, designed to provide thrills, laughter and memories for all. To recognize and salute the brave service personnel who have made such a decisive contribution to our country, Busch Gardens gives a special offer on military discounts to both active and veteran military personnel, as well as their families.
Busch Gardens’ exciting lineup of roller coasters, water rides, and attractions inspired by global cultures has something for everyone! From the wild animals of the Serengeti Safari and the white-knuckle rides of Cheetah Hunt, to the special military discounts available, it’s never been more affordable for military families to experience all the park has to offer.
It’s a subsidiary of SeaWorld and falls under the Waves of Honor program. However, Busch Gardens doesn’t offer a discount for veterans, only active duty, activated or drilling reservists, or National Guardsman.
Some activities to enjoy at Busch Gardens are:
- Animal encounters
- Rides and rollercoasters
- Live entertainment
- Interactive kid-friendly shows
