There are many great things to do and see in Southern California that cost the average person quite a chunk of change.  Military members can get discounts on all kinds of things in Southern California.

Sea World- Military Members can receive up to 4 free tickets for themselves and their dependants (discounted tickets after your four free for those of you with many rugrats) each year.

Knott’s Berry Farm- Show your military ID and receive adult tickets for 29.99 a savings of $20 and kids (age 3-11) for 19.99 (that is regular price).  Also in November (first 2 weeks or so) Knott’s will let one military member and guest in for free and extra tickets are discounted.

San Diego Zoo/Wild Animal Park- The zoo and wild animal park are free to active duty military all the time.

Neither Disneyland nor Magic Mountain offer any ticket discounts at the park but you can buy discounted tickets at ITT and save a few bucks that way.

USS Midway Tour- Tour the USS Midway (a great piece of WWII history) for free with your Military ID.

Deep Sea Fishing- Deep sea fishing is available in San Diego and Oceanside and offer great rates for military members sometimes up to half off.

ITT- ITT offices on Camp Pendleton, Miramar, and MCRD offer great rates on tickets to many of the other attractions throughout the area.  You can also get vouchers for hotels I Las Vegas and Primm through the ITT ticket offices.

Many restaurants, stores and shops offer military discounts in the San Diego area (large military population) you just need to ask for it many times.

There are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of in Southern California as long as you look around and do some research.  Also don’t be afraid to ask if there is a military discount the worst they can do is say no.
