SaluteScoutMiami Zoo Military Discount — Sources and Search Audit
Zoo Miami's current Tickets page lists separate 50% and 25% admission rates on different bases, requires onsite purchase and military photo ID, and states no offer dates. Dated event offers, membership claims, GOVX validity, and third-party claims are recorded separately.
Google results and page bodies checked September 25, 2026. No purchase or eligibility verification was performed.
Google sample and rank-preserving method
The bare query miami zoo military discount was checked September 25, 2026 in the signed-in Chrome with hl=en&gl=us&pws=0. The bare first page displayed nine organic results. A homepage-typed query returned nine under Google's default interface locale and a different order; it was not mixed into the U.S.-parameterized ranking. Google Web view also returned nine; the first eight matched but rank nine differed, so it was not used to replace a bare-page result. To complete ten without replacing or reordering any result, the first result from the same bare query with start=9 was added as rank 10. It is a pagination continuation, not a replacement. Ads, AI summaries, and People also ask are excluded. Bodies were opened directly where possible; no result snippet is used as policy evidence.

Scope and unresolved terms
The current official Tickets page does not state a start or end date or whether the standard discount combines with other offers. It provides two different percentage bases: regular adult admission for the service member and regular admission for up to six additional guests. No public ticket amount is used for a savings calculation.
The 2025 Veterans Day page's “rest of the year” wording is kept within its 2025 context. Its annual-membership percentage is a different product and has no current confirmation on the Tickets page. The Facebook post dates and the Instagram caption omit a year. Third-party WorthEPenny claims conflict with official onsite wording. These gaps are not filled with a guess, a search snippet, or an AI-generated answer.
The only search form grouped on this page is miami zoo military discount. No search volume, advertising-competition label, first-page bid, public ticket price, or derived dollar savings is included.
