This summer, Castle Park is expressing heartfelt gratitude to the everyday heroes in our community—police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and military personnel—by offering free admission for each group during dedicated weeks.

???? What You Need to Know

???? What’s Included

The complimentary ticket grants full access to Castle Park’s attractions:

  • Ride Park – Thrilling family rides and roller coasters

  • Buccaneer Cove – Seasonal water park (open select days through mid?September)

  • Mini?Golf – Four whimsical 18?hole courses

  • Arcade & Games – Unlimited indoor fun

???? Why It Matters

Castle Park’s initiative is a meaningful gesture of appreciation for first responders and service members, recognizing their unwavering dedication. It provides families a chance to create lasting memories—on the house.

???? How to Participate

 

  • One ticket per qualifying hero during their designated week

  • Must present valid proof, such as a military ID, police or firefighter badge, or EMT credentials

  • Plan ahead—visit Castle Park’s official website or contact Guest Services to confirm your eligibility and reserve tickets

 

Castle Park’s Salute to Heroes program runs June 30 through August 10, with the first week honoring military and veterans, followed by other essential service groups. Each hero receives one free ticket to enjoy the park’s rides, water attractions, mini-golf, and arcade. It's a thoughtful way for the community to say “thank you.”
