Short answer: Yes. For 2026, all active-duty U.S. military get a FREE Silver Dollar City Season Passport, and veterans, retired military, reservists, and their families get discounted passports, all verified through ID.me.
Who qualifies
- Active-duty U.S. military – eligible for the free Season Passport (offered as part of the park’s America 250th celebration, made possible through a partnership with Arvest Bank).
- Veterans, retired military, and reservists – eligible for a discounted Season Passport, not the free one.
- Spouses and dependent children (ages 4-17) living in the household of eligible military, including active-duty spouses, can get discounted passports.
What you get
Active-duty members get a complimentary 2026 Season Passport with unlimited visits to Silver Dollar City and White Water. The catch: the free Military Passport does not include any Bring-A-Friend tickets or added benefits. Veterans and retired military do not get a free pass – they get a reduced-price Season Passport, with optional add-ons like All-Season Parking and TrailBlazer access available for an extra cost. Exact prices vary by passport tier and add-ons, so check the current rate when you book.
How to claim it
All offers require verifying your military status through ID.me on Silver Dollar City’s website before purchase.
