Spread across 190 acres on beautiful Mission Bay Park, SeaWorld is known for spectacular animal shows, interactive attractions, aquariums, rides and education programs for all ages
Electric Ocean is back again this summer to transform the park after dark into a sea of color, light, and energy inspired by the ocean. This nighttime summer spectacular features eight electrifying nighttime experiences including Cirque Electrique with daring aerial performers in advanced LED suits that mesmerize audiences as they bounce and fly in and over the waters of Mission Bay. Electric Ocean kicks off at SeaWorld on June 16 and continues on select dates through Sept. 3, 2018.
Electric Eel, San Diego’s tallest and fastest roller coaster, reaching a max speed of more than 60 mph and rocketing skyward 150 feet, is now open!
The Sesame Street Party Parade features everyone’s favorite Sesame Street friends (including Abby Cadabby and Elmo!), themed floats, contemporary tunes including Sesame Street favorites, and two show-stopping performances throughout the parade route, Saturdays, and Sundays, through Sept. 2.
Animal attractions include Orca Encounter, a live documentary-style presentation with a new Pacific Northwest-themed backdrop at SeaWorld’s main orca pool, reflecting the natural world of killer whales; Turtle Reef, 280,000-gallon turtle aquarium, interactive game, touch-screen turtle map and ride; Shark Encounter with nearly a dozen species of sharks; Penguin Encounter with more than 350 penguins representing six species; and Wild Arctic with beluga whales, walruses and seals. And for thrill seekers 13 and older, DeepSEE VR: Orca 360 takes guests on an underwater dive to virtually swim with SeaWorld’s remarkable killer whales.
This seven-and-a-half minute film uses newly-developed, cutting-edge virtual reality technology and stunning stereoscopic 360-degree video to give guests the sensation of “being there” by creating unexpected moments of awe and wonder.
Shows include Sea Lions LIVE, a hilarious sketch-based comedy show starring California sea lions Clyde and Seamore; and Dolphin Days, featuring bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales.
Rides include Manta, a multi-media, double-launch coaster; Journey to Atlantis, a wet and wild water coaster; and Shipwreck Rapids water raft ride. Opening in time for summer 2018 is Electric Eel, San Diego’s tallest and fastest roller coaster.
