Yes — Aquatica Orlando offers a genuine military discount through United Parks’ Waves of Honor program, verified with ID.me. Active-duty members, reservists, and National Guard get 50% off a single-park ticket (limit 4); active-duty and veterans can buy a Military Silver Annual Pass for $139 (regularly $234) with unlimited visits, no blockout dates, and free parking.

Create or log in to a free ID.me account and verify (first-time verification may require a document upload).

Choose the 50% ticket or the $139 Silver Pass

HOW IT WORKS

United Parks uses ID.me to verify eligibility. You create a free ID.me account, verify once (which may require a document upload), and eligible pricing unlocks on aquatica.com. The two offers serve different situations: the 50% single ticket is for a one-and-done active-duty visit, while the $139 Silver Pass — open to both active-duty and veterans — is the better value for families or anyone visiting more than once.

The math almost always favors the pass. A single active-duty adult visiting once pays about $40 with the 50% ticket, but two single-day visits already exceed the $139 pass price, and the pass adds free general parking (~$30+ a visit), roughly 20% in-park discounts, and 3 free guest tickets on a rolling calendar. For veterans, the pass is effectively the only military channel, since the 50% single ticket is active-duty only.

A note on channels: Aquatica is also listed on GovX, but the authoritative pricing lives on aquatica.com behind ID.me — confirm any GovX price against the park’s own page, and ignore aggregator "up to XX% off" banners. The pass benefits (parking, in-park discounts, guest tickets) are built into the pass rather than separate codes.

Exclusions & fine print

The 50% single ticket has a limit of 4 and blackout dates may apply.
Veterans are not eligible for the 50% single ticket — only the $139 Silver Pass.
Offers must be purchased online after ID.me verification; they are not sold at the gate.
The Silver Pass has no blockout dates for the passholder, but the 3 free guest tickets carry their own blockout dates.
Military pricing generally is not stackable with separate public promo codes.
