SeaWorld San Diego

SeaWorld is an American theme park chain with headquarters in Orlando, Florida. It is a proprietor of marine mammal parks, oceanariums, animal theme parks, and rehabilitation centers owned by SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (one park will be owned and operated by Miral under a license).

Guests are immersed in wonder at SeaWorld Orlando, where the aquatic world comes alive like no place else. Whether you're riding Pipeline, the most anticipated roller coaster of 2023, or feeling the predator power of Mako, Orlando's tallest and fastest coaster, there are thrills and entertainment for the whole family.

SeaWorld protects animals across the globe, and the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund is an important part of those efforts. The Fund has granted more than $14 million to over 1,000 projects in 60 countries and on all seven continents around the world.

Scorecard. Though you may spot wildlife at any one of San Diego's beaches (especially Pacific and Mission beaches) none put on quite as good a show as the performers at SeaWorld. Here, you'll get to see a range of animals, including dolphins, California sea lions, California otters and sea turtles, among others.

What does admission include? All shows, exhibits, aquariums and rides (except Skytower and Bayside Skyride) are included with park admission. Dining experiences, animal tours and interactions, front-of-the-line passes, in-park food and merchandise and other upgrades are optional and an additional cost.

SeaWorld Orlando has many live shows and attractions including rides and animal exhibits. Many of these attractions, such as Manta combine the two, with both animal exhibits and a ride.
