New Attractions and Shows at SeaWorld San Diego

SeaWorld San Diego went through some big changes this year ready just in time for Summer! Their new Ocean Explorer area features five new children’s rides and three new animal encounters (octopus, crab, and eel). They also changed up the orca show to make it more educational, and you’ll want to stick around for the nighttime celebrations in the new Electric Ocean Light Festival (on select dates this summer). I was able to ride most of the new rides with my kids. The top attraction here is the Submarine Quest. It had a two hour wait time opening weekend.
