Veterans Week sponsored by Humana includes military family discounts, reserved seating

NEWPORT, Ky. — Newport Aquarium is celebrating Veterans Day with a week of festivities sponsored by Humana, highlighted by a free admission offer to all veteran and active members of the United States Armed Forces from Nov. 7-15.

Throughout Veterans Week sponsored by Humana, all U.S. military personnel—including active, retired and reservists—can receive free admission by simply presenting their military identification at the Newport Aquarium ticket window.

“Newport Aquarium wants to honor the sacrifices the brave men and women of the U.S. military have made for our country,” said Eric Rose, Newport Aquarium executive director. “Offering free admission is a way for us to thank these heroes for their service and show our gratitude.”

Additionally, when a military serviceperson presents their military identification at the ticket window, up to four family members can take advantage of Newport Aquarium’s everyday military discount of $3 off adult tickets and $2 off children’s tickets.

All military members who visit the aquarium during Veterans Week will receive a special patriotic pin that will grant them access to front-row seating with their families during dive shows, otter talks and penguin talks, courtesy of Newport Aquarium and Humana.

Additionally, members of the military will have access to the following exclusive discounts:
