Busch Gardens is honoring Florida first responders by offering them free admission from Oct. 11-Nov. 24.
The park is also offering four discounted tickets to friends and family of first responders at 50% off the regular ticket price.
“A first responder’s mission is to selflessly protect us each day, and this special offer is a small way to show our appreciation of their dedication to the communities they call home,” said Stewart Clark, president and general manager of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
Qualifying first responders include:
• All Florida fire rescue first responders
• Florida emergency medical services employees (EMT/EMS)
• 911 dispatchers
• All Florida police and sheriff officers
• Florida Highway Patrol
• Florida Department of Corrections
• Florida Department of Law Enforcement
• Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission field officers
• Florida Forest Service Forest Rangers
• Florida Park Service law enforcement
• Department of Homeland Security law enforcement agents
• Florida Department of Environmental Protection law enforcement
