A day at Sea World of San Diego.
Manta is SeaWorld's amazing and immersive new mega-attraction that will seamlessly transition you from the awe of watching rays in underwater flight to the sensation of actually being one.
The Shipwreck Rapids. Join fellow castaways on a tube-style raft and ride a winding river at the heart of a peaceful island. Whirl, swirl, splash and crash through playful rapids and foaming whitewater. Plunge through a waterfall into an underground cavern and see the secrets this lost island keeps.
Sea turtles are truly a global species found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide. They have survived in the seas for more than 200 million years and are among a small group of reptiles that depend on the sea for survival.
The Bayside skyride.
The starfishes.
The show Cirque de la mer.
Stunning coloration and a peculiar appearance make flamingos a popular SeaWorld sight.
Extremely vocal and social California sea lions are a common sight off California’s coast.
The other kind of attractions.
Pet's Rules! A high-energy show with lots of laughs, surprise twists from a cast of unlikely characters that will delight, charm and tug at the whole family's heartstrings.
Dogs and cats, ducks and doves, potbellied pigs and a few surprise animal guest stars will show you that SeaWorld’s famously humane training techniques aren't just for big stars like Shamu.
Come see the wonderful connections that happen when animal trainers turn their attention toward some animals that aren’t quite so exotic.
The gentle, mysterious beluga whale is one of the park’s most sociable animals. Born dark grey, their signature white color is actually a clever camouflage belugas develop by maturity, allowing them to swim peacefully in the waters of their icy arctic homes.
Nicknamed “sea canaries” by mariners, belugas are often heard before seen thanks to their unmistakable birdlike songs.
Instead of dorsal fins, they have a low dorsal ridge that lets them easily swim beneath thick ice sheets and find breathing holes; a pretty cool adaptation essential to life in one of the coldest regions of the globe.
Journey To Atlantis, a water ride that combines soaking flume fun, thrilling coaster action and amazing special effects as you journey to a lost civilization—a journey that begins with a splashy 60-foot plunge and ends face-to-face with fascinating sea animals.
The penguins.
Animals of extraordinary wonder and inspiration, bottlenose dolphins are one of the most familiar and popular marine mammals.
The Blue Horizons' show, dolphins fly, birds dive and spirits leap in Blue Horizons — a visionary sea-and-sky spectacular from SeaWorld.
Feel a smile cross your face as you feed and touch bottlenose dolphins.
The Shamu Rocks Rock n Roll show with the Killer Whales.
Rock the night away, with Shamu. This show has more flash—and certainly more splash—than a rock concert.
