SeaWorld Orlando is preparing to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces with a special Veterans Day weekend celebration, taking place November 13–15, 2026. Presented in partnership with Navy Federal Credit Union, the three-day event will feature patriotic tributes, a fireworks spectacular, exclusive military discounts, and opportunities for families to come together in recognition of those who have served.
Throughout the weekend, guests will find several meaningful tributes across the park, including an Honor Wall photo opportunity and a Field of Honor flag display outside Orca Stadium. Both installations will provide opportunities for visitors to pause, reflect, and recognize the sacrifices made by military members and their families. A dedicated Waves of Honor priority entrance will also be available to eligible military guests and their families.
Among the weekend’s highlights will be a special patriotic fireworks spectacular presented by Navy Federal Credit Union, held Friday through Sunday over Bayside Stadium. The nighttime display will celebrate the courage, dedication, and service of America’s military heroes, adding a memorable conclusion to the park’s Veterans Day festivities.
On Sunday, November 15, SeaWorld Orlando will also welcome pass members, active-duty military personnel, veterans, and their guests to a patriotic picnic at Ports of Call. The gathering will take place from noon until 4 p.m., offering an opportunity to enjoy an afternoon together during the commemorative weekend. Picnic tickets are available for $10 when purchased online in advance or $15 on the day of the event, subject to availability. Park admission and parking are required and are not included with the picnic ticket. Each eligible member may purchase up to seven picnic tickets, and re-entry is not permitted.
In addition to the weekend’s special activities, SeaWorld Orlando is extending several offers through its longstanding Waves of Honor program, which recognizes military service by providing discounted admission and other benefits to eligible guests.
Veterans can purchase 50%-off single-day admission for themselves and up to five guests, for a maximum of six tickets, which must be purchased and used by December 31, 2026, while eligible active-duty military members and veterans can take advantage of a specially priced Military Silver Annual Pass for $169, compared to its regular price of $279.
The Military Silver Annual Pass includes 12 months of unlimited admission with no blockout dates, three complimentary guest tickets distributed on a rolling calendar basis, and in-park discounts of up to 20%. Passholders can also enjoy seasonal events throughout the year, including SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration and Seven Seas Food Festival. Veterans may purchase up to six Military Silver Annual Passes.
“For more than 60 years, SeaWorld has welcomed and honored military families to make countless lasting memories together,” said Bradley Gilmour, Park President of SeaWorld Orlando. “This Veterans Day, we’re proud to partner with Navy Federal Credit Union to recognize their service and bring families together for moments of joy, reflection and celebration.”
SeaWorld Orlando’s Veterans Day weekend celebration continues the park’s tradition of recognizing military personnel and their families through its Waves of Honor initiative. By combining commemorative displays, family experiences, and special admission offers, the park aims to create a weekend centered on appreciation, remembrance, and shared experiences.
Eligible veterans interested in taking advantage of the available military offers must verify their status through ID.me before purchasing online. Additional information about eligibility, admission discounts, and the Waves of Honor program is available at WavesOfHonor.com.
