SeaWorld San Diego
500 Sea World Dr., San DiegoExplore the magic of the world’s oceans and learn about the importance of protecting marine environments at SeaWorld San Diego, just north of central San Diego. There’s always something going on at the nearly 200-acre theme park, including interactive exhibits, zooming rides, live animal interactions and other special events. SeaWorld hopes to inspire visitors to better understand the planet’s watery worlds. The park presents different ocean zones, each one featuring recreated habitats populated by some of the creatures found there. In Wild Arctic, get a closeup look at walruses, beluga whales and polar bears. Penguin Encounter is home to the entertaining seabirds. At Explorer’s Reef, see (and touch) harmless rays that live in coastal waters and then climb aboard Manta, a high tech rollercoaster that lets you twist, turn and dive like a ray. Or head to Electric Eel, the tallest and fastest rollercoaster in San Diego.
