SeaWorld San Diego
My dad absolutely loved the ocean and sea life, and SeaWorld was a place we made many memories together. But it wasn’t until we went behind the scenes to get an inside look at SeaWorld’s Rescue and Rehabilitation program that I really came to an understanding and appreciation of the work they do to care for sick, injured animals. SeaWorld rescues and rehabilitates marine and terrestrial animals that are ill, injured, orphaned, or abandoned with the goal of returning them to the wild. To date, their rescue team has helped more than 39,000 animals in need.
SeaWorld seeks to inspire families to protect and respect animals and sea life, and is one of the world’s foremost zoological organizations. As a global leader in animal welfare, training, husbandry, and veterinary care, SeaWorld cares for one of the largest zoological collections in the world.
In addition to their incredible animal encounters, SeaWorld offers expansive entertainment and rides. And every season, you can enjoy themed festivals and events. Here is what you can expect at SeaWorld San Diego in 2022.

Sesame Place San Diego
The former Aquatica San Diego is currently undergoing renovation and will re-open as Sesame Place San Diego on March 26, 2022. The new themed park will feature 7 Sesame-Street-themed rides, an interactive musical play area, and 11 water attractions, including a 500,000-gallon wave pool. Sesame Place San Diego will open as the second theme park in the US based on Sesame Street and will feature rides and attractions for kids of all ages. The musical play area will engage kids in an interactive Sesame Street Neighborhood with the iconic 123 Stoop, daily live character shows, award-winning parades, photo ops, and everyone’s favorite furry friends.
Sesame Place Philadelphia was the first theme park in the world to achieve designation as a Certified Autism Center, and Sesame Place San Diego will also achieve the distinction designated by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards. Staff will be trained in autism sensitivity and awareness and designated quiet spaces with comfortable seating will be integrated into the park’s design. Prior to visiting, families can view a park-specific sensory guide so parents can plan activities that will accommodate their child’s specific needs.
Right now, Sesame Place San Diego is having a pre-opening sale with savings of over 35%. For more information visit SesamePlace.com/San-Diego.
