“We’re grateful for the brave service members who willingly give up their freedoms to protect ours,” Hill said in a prepared statement. “Because of their sacrifices, we can enjoy a fun, carefree summer with family and friends."
Hill noted park officials won't make a big thing of it by casting a spotlight on incoming military members. Instead, they will be able to simply walk into the park with their compliments.

"We’re not going to bore them with long speeches or embarrass them by singling them out," Hill said. "We’re just happy to provide them a day to relax and have fun at our water parks.”
To participate, individuals must present a valid military ID at the ticket window. This free admission applies to one individual admission for a military member on Saturday, May 28; Sunday, May 29; or Monday, May 30, 2016, and cannot be combined with any other offers, officials said.
The free admission offer is applicable to all six Hawaiian Falls parks. In addition to Pflugerville, there are park locations in Waco, Garland, The Colony, Mansfield and Roanoke. Park hours are 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Park officials note that season passholders are always allowed into the park 30 minutes before the gates open to the public. For more information, visit the Hawaiian Falls website by clicking here or check out their Facebook page by clicking here.
