SaluteScoutBrevard Zoo Military Discount — Sources and Search Audit
The official Discounts page states a flat $5 reduction on onsite admission, but does not specify its ticket unit, guest cap, or dates. This audit keeps the separate Veterans Day event and the unconfirmed third-party online-code claim distinct.
Google results and page bodies checked September 25, 2026. No purchase or eligibility verification was performed.

Among the four readable, target-relevant original result bodies (ranks 1, 3, 4, and 7), 0/4 state a military-offer percentage; 4/4 state an admission base or eligibility restriction; 4/4 state an onsite claim route; and 1/4 gives a military-event date, November 11 with no year. A flat dollar reduction or surcharge is not counted as a percentage. Rank 8 is readable but about a different zoo and is excluded; rank 10 is a separate readable third-party supplement and is outside the denominator. Four original results remain Unknown after failed opens. Counts apply only to this sample.
The $5 amount is the official flat reduction for onsite admission. The FAQ's $2 surcharge remains separate. No ordinary admission price is used to calculate a military discount.

Scope and unresolved evidence
The official Discounts, FAQ, and Visit pages agree that the military purchase is onsite, while the FAQ adds that reservations are not required and the Visit page says photo ID is required and verification may be required. The Discounts page supplies the $5 amount and accepted-proof list. These page-specific terms are kept in their own rows.
The Veterans Day page is a separate event entry with no year or event window. WorthEPenny's online-code claim is third-party and conflicts with official onsite-purchase terms. The unreadable Military.com, WorthEPenny military-discount, and Orlando Sentinel bodies remain Unknown; this does not mean the Zoo has no other offer. The readable Facebook result is about Central Florida Zoo and is excluded. No ticket price or discount amount from another zoo is used.
The only search form grouped on this guide is brevard zoo military discount. No search volume, advertising-competition label, first-page bid, public ticket price, or estimated savings is included.
