The official page states a flat $2 admission discount
The Aquarium's official Hours, Discounts, & Groups page names active, retired, and veteran U.S. military as eligible groups. It says the discount is available only at the admission gates for the next available time slot. The separate official FAQ says military ID is required.
| Official source | Amount | Eligibility and limits | Claim route | Date status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official Hours, Discounts, & Groups page | $2 off admission; a flat amount, not a percentage. | For active, retired, and veteran U.S. military. The page does not state whether the amount is per ticket, per person, or per household, and it gives no age, dependent, or guest-count terms. | Available only at the Aquarium's admission gates for the next available time slot. The official FAQ says military ID is required; neither page names a specific document type. | Neither opened official page states a start date or expiration date. Checked September 25, 2026; that is the review date, not a policy date. |
The official wording is “$2 off admission.” It does not say whether that amount applies per ticket, per person, or per household. The pages provide no percentage, so no percentage or savings total is calculated.
The FAQ requires ID, but does not identify the document type
The FAQ names active, retired, and veteran U.S. military and says ID is required. The discount page limits redemption to an admission gate and the next available time slot. These two official pages do not state whether dependents qualify, whether a guest is included, or whether an age-specific ticket price changes the discount amount.
Neither page gives a military-offer start date or expiration date. September 25, 2026 is the review date only. It is not a policy date.
Bundles and membership benefits are separate from the military admission offer
The Aquarium's Plan Your Visit page advertises Seattle CityPASS savings of up to 47% for a five-attraction bundle. A JBLM MWR price list also lists a Seattle CityPASS bundle that includes the Aquarium with other attractions. Neither statement describes the Aquarium's military admission discount.
The Aquarium membership page lists 20% off After Hours events and 10% off selected gift-shop, photo, and café purchases as membership benefits. Those percentages are not military admission rates and are not combined with the $2 gate offer.
| Separate official or MWR listing | What it states | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Plan Your Visit / CityPASS | Up to 47% bundle savings across five attractions, including the Aquarium. | CityPASS is a separate bundle; the page does not tie it to military eligibility. |
| JBLM MWR LTS price list | A Seattle CityPASS bundle with the Aquarium among five attractions; the PDF cover is marked Updated 18NOV25. | The PDF date is a document update date. It is not an Aquarium military-offer date or a current-validity confirmation. |
| Membership benefits | 20% off After Hours events and 10% off selected retail, photo, and café purchases. | These are general membership benefits, not the military admission offer. |
Unreadable results remain unknown, not a denial
The Instagram caption remained hidden behind a login layer after two opens. The Greater Seattle on the Cheap page and the WorthEPenny page each failed to load after two attempts. Their policy details remain Unknown. No search snippet or title fills those gaps.
The Facebook result is a user's request for Seattle recommendations and states no Aquarium terms. This page reports the opened official Aquarium terms and does not claim the Aquarium has no other military offer.
