SaluteScoutTennessee Aquarium Military Discount — Sources and Search Audit
I could not verify current terms from the readable body of an official Membership, FAQ, or homepage page; those pages returned HTTP 403. Official social posts document dated 2022 and 2023 past offers, while third-party percentage claims remain unconfirmed.
Google results and page bodies checked September 25, 2026. No purchase or eligibility verification was performed.
Google sample and page-reading method
The query was searched September 25, 2026 in the signed-in Chrome at https://www.google.com/search?q=tennessee+aquarium+military+discount&hl=en&gl=us&pws=0. The bare page displayed nine organic result headings; a separate heading labeled AI Mode replied was excluded. A Google homepage typed-entry attempt did run the same query, but its full order was not recorded after the Playwright typing call timed out.
Google Web view with udm=14 displayed ten results. The first six organic URLs stayed in the same order, but positions seven and eight changed, and position nine pointed to a different WorthEPenny page. The tenth web-view item is therefore labeled as a supplement; it is not merged into the bare-page order. Ads, AI Overview, AI Mode answers, People also ask, and other generated summaries are excluded. No result snippet is used as body evidence.

| 10.

Its result order is not merged with the bare page after position 6 changed. |
Among three readable, target-relevant original result bodies (ranks 4, 7, and 9), 3/3 mention a military-related percentage: rank 4's 10% is for memberships, while ranks 7 and 9 are third-party claims with no verified comparable ticket base. Only 1/3 states an explicit adult-admission base and eligibility, 3/3 describe a claim route, and 1/3 gives a dated military offer period. None confirms a current official admission percentage. The 2023 official Instagram post is supplemental and outside the denominator. Official pages that returned 403 remain Unknown, not No. Counts are limited to this sample.

Scope and unresolved wording
The current official Membership, FAQs & Policies, and homepage bodies remained unreadable after two opens. The official 2022 and 2023 social posts are historical events, not proof of a standing 2026 benefit. The Arnold AFB Services and WorthEPenny percentages remain third-party claims with bases that were not established in readable official pages. The Google AI Overview and AI Mode response are excluded. Unknown means no readable evidence was obtained from those pages; it does not mean Tennessee Aquarium offers no current benefit.
The single query grouped on the guide is tennessee aquarium military discount. No search volume, advertising-competition label, first-page bid, or number from another aquarium is included.
