SeaWorld Orlando is rolling out a full slate of special offerings this November, pairing its annual Veterans Day observances with the park’s biggest sale of the year. The park is partnering with Navy Federal Credit Union for a five-day tribute to military service members while simultaneously launching a limited-time Black Friday presale featuring discounts of up to 65% on tickets, Fun Cards, and Annual Passes.

Veterans Day Salutes, Special Experiences, and Exclusive Offers

From Friday, Nov. 7, through Tuesday, Nov. 11, SeaWorld Orlando will honor veterans and their families with patriotic programming and in-park recognitions. Throughout the weekend, guests will encounter priority entry for veterans, dedicated photo locations, and American flag displays across the park. Navy Federal Credit Union will host an informational area at the Waterfront Welcome Center highlighting its support for military families.

Daily presentations—including Orca Encounter, Sea Lion & Otter, and Dolphin Adventure—will feature pre-show salutes recognizing service members. Evening programming will conclude with “Veterans Fireworks Presented by Navy Federal Credit Union,” taking place Friday through Sunday at 7 p.m. at Bayside Stadium. The show will feature live music leading up to the fireworks finale.

“For more than 60 years, SeaWorld has stood shoulder to shoulder with our nation’s heroes,” Jon Peterson, Park President of SeaWorld Orlando, said in a press release. “This Veterans Day, we’re proud to partner with Navy Federal Credit Union to extend our gratitude in a way that brings families together… through meaningful moments of joy, reflection, and celebration.”

Veterans can also take advantage of the park’s ongoing Waves of Honor program, which provides up to six single-day tickets at 50% off and access to the Military Silver Annual Pass. The $161 pass (regularly $270) includes no blockout dates for 12 months, three free guest tickets, up to 20% in-park savings, and admission to all seasonal events, such as SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration and the Seven Seas Food Festival. Eligible guests must verify status through ID.me at WavesOfHonor.com.

Black Friday Presale: Up to 65% Off

Coinciding with the holiday weekend, SeaWorld Orlando has opened its Black Friday presale early, offering some of the park’s most significant discounts of the year now through Sunday, Nov. 9. The promotion includes savings on single-day tickets, 2026 Fun Cards, and Annual Passes.

According to the park, the timing allows guests to experience the full calendar of events planned for the remainder of 2025 and throughout 2026. That includes the return of Christmas Celebration beginning Nov. 7, when SeaWorld transforms into a winter-themed environment featuring millions of lights, holiday entertainment, seasonal treats, and Central Florida’s only outdoor ice rink at Bayside Stadium.

A 2026 Fun Card gives guests unlimited visits throughout next year, plus complimentary admission for the rest of 2025. Annual Pass Members receive year-round access with no blockout dates, special events exclusive to passholders, in-park discounts, and early previews of upcoming attractions.

In 2026, Pass Members will be the first to experience SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep, an all-new attraction that takes guests on a submersible journey through digital undersea environments populated with extraordinary creatures and immersive storytelling.

SeaWorld is also offering a “Buy a Gift Get a Treat” promotion from Nov. 10 through Dec. 1: guests who purchase a $100 gift card will receive $20 in bonus in-park spending valid Jan. 1 through Feb. 28, 2026.
