PHOENIX – Wet ‘n’ Wild Phoenix is offering all veterans, active military personnel and first responders free admission as part of its “Salute to Heroes” Memorial Day weekend celebration.

Starting Saturday, the country’s heroes will have the opportunity to enjoy a day of free fun at Arizona’s largest water park.

Additionally, up to six family members will receive half off admission throughout the weekend.

As part of the celebration, the park will put on a free fireworks show for all guests on Sunday evening at 7:45 p.m.

The special offer includes one free admission to the park per day, with a government issued ID or badge present at the time of purchase. Tickets must be used on the day of distribution.

Wet ‘n’ Wild Phoenix is located near the intersection of Pinnacle Peak Road and 43rd Avenue in Glendale.

The park will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during Memorial Day weekend, with the free admission offer ending after the park closes on Monday.

Going forward, Wet ‘n’ Wild Phoenix will be open seven days a week as part of its summer schedule.

We want to hear from you.
