Busch Gardens Military Discounts
Beginning in 2019 Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA launched a NEW military discount. This is ONLY available for the military community. They are only available to be purchased online and at the MWR office.
BUSCH GARDENS & WATER COUNTRY MILITARY PASS
I am not military so I don’t have access to updated numbers. These are the totals from 2022 but the links still work and once you log in you can see everything!
Enjoy unlimited admission and general parking at Busch Gardens® Williamsburg, Water Country USA® and Christmas Town™ through Jan. 2, 2022. The current cost is $103.25 which is only up about $2 from last year. This pass is good through January 3 and not one year from the day of purchase. So grab it now so you don’t have to worry about it later!
Does NOT include member benefits. Taxes and service fees not included with price. Operating days vary, please check schedule before arrival. Park prices, products, hours and services are subject to change or cancellation without notice. Voucher may not be copied, transferred, resold or refunded and is only valid for the person listed on the voucher. Not redeemable for cash. Void if altered. Remains the property of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. Will be confiscate or revoked without restitution for misuse. EXPIRES Jan. 3, 2021.
This offer is available at your MWR office and also on Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA website for Active Duty members that purchase through ID.me. There are options for retired as well through the same link.
They are also still participating in the Waves of Honor program. This program permits any U.S. active duty military, activated or drilling reservist, or National Guardsman and as many as three direct dependents to one free Busch Gardens admission per year. This is good through October 31st and not for Christmas Town.
If your service member is unavailable, dependents also may take advantage of this amazing Busch Gardens deal, though an adult must accompany minors, and dependents ages 10 and over must present valid military dependent ID.
Busch Gardens discount tickets will be issued at participating parks after service members complete a short registration form.
Additionally many Military Bases have a Ticket/Travel Office where you can purchase Military Discounted Busch-Gardens Theme Park tickets. For those stationed near me (in Virginia) it’s called the ITT. Military discounted rates are available to active duty, retirees, DoD civilians, reservists and family members accompanied with a military ID card. The person using the ticket does not have to be military but the purchaser must be.
If you are looking for discount Busch Gardens tickets for Tampa and are military consider using the Shades of Green program for booking your hotel or buying your tickets.

As far as I know they do not. I have never seen them do that. And since the ID process is online I can’t imagine why they would.
Steve Anthony says
I have a question my father in-law is a vet. and got the 4 free military tickets and put my 2 kids, his daughter, and my name on the tickets and printed them out. But I see on the ticket it says have to show Military ID at entrance. Do the actually ask for ID when going through ticket gates.
Laura says
So nothing I have seen so far has had the discount hyperlinked to something. I’m wondering if it’s something they will check at the park- this is the first year they have done it. You may want to call ahead just to be sure.
Amy says
Is the $10 off the dining plan something that needs to be claimed when getting the free tickets? Because ive already printed the passes but not able to find any discounts for dining anywhere. Thanks!
Laura says
I am 90% sure they do not. No one has ever asked me if I am military.
Steve says
Do the restaurants inside the park offer military discount?
Laura says
Thank you for replying! Somehow I missed Dawn’s comment!
Kris says
Dawn Williams,
You have to click on the active duty military button in order to see the offers. I went through this loop using the Veteran button as well until I got curious and tried the other one and it worked. Good luck!
Paul M. says
Actually this is a great deal, this is the first time ive seen this for non active duty “vets” to include anyone who served. Busch Gardens is giving away tickets to Vets and up to 3 guests for free. Tickets are valid now through July 4th. Please utilize the below listed website to get your tickets. Have a great day! This may be something different that the program you are describing above, not sure.

Unfortunately I am not military so I can’t help too much. I do know that I have had many readers purchase these tickets already so it can be done!
Dawn Williams says
I’ve tried logging in with the ID ME password I have and then it keeps directing me back to the Seaworld/Busch Gardens site and asking me again to log in with the ID Me site and it just keeps looping me back over and over again to the same things to do. Something isn’t correct for the sites not making the connection. I guess I’ll just go to MWR office and get the passes. I’m trying to give you the credit you deserve Laura but it just isn’t working.
Kristi says
Thank you so much for posting this. We moved to the area last summer and have been to Busch Gardens one time. My kids have been begging to go again. Looks like we will have plenty to do this summer!
