As of February 6, 2021, SeaWorld San Diego is reopening to the public. It is opening as an accredited zoo under California’s new rules that allow zoos and aquariums to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Guests can enjoy the excitement of viewing several physically distant outdoor exhibits, including bat rays, bamboo sharks, dolphins, sea otters, turtles, and a lot more. Educational presentations will also be part of the reopening as well. Guests can explore the full range of the park’s exhibits and educational programming.
Adding a New Presentation: Rescue Tails!
SeaWorld San Diego is also introducing a new presentation, Rescue Tails. This presentation provides information about SeaWorld’s Conservation Ambassadors and rescue efforts. The show is housed in the Nautilus Amphitheater, with physically distant seating.
