The North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island, as well as the aquariums at Fort Fisher and Pine Knoll Shores, have announced they will welcome and thank military families with complimentary admission on Monday, Nov. 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additionally, Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head is offering complimentary walk-ons.

“Our staff, volunteers and visitors are honored to thank service members and their families at the Aquariums on Veterans Day. We are grateful for the service and sacrifice of these heroes and can’t wait to welcome them as our special guests for the day,” said Hap Fatzinger, director of North Carolina Aquariums.

The complimentary admission is extended to all veterans, active, reserve or retired of the U.S. military and their dependents. “The Aquariums offer immersive and inspiring opportunities for visitors, from animal encounters to enrichment time – with staff including patriotic salutes during their activities,” noted a joint announcement from the aquariums.

Online reservations are required; holidays and special days tend to sell out quickly. For more information and to reserve tickets, go to ncaquariums.com.

“The Aquariums also remind service members to pack military ID cards for themselves and their family members who qualify for the complimentary admission,” stated the announcement.
