The new Baby Shark show was a big hit with my superfans.

New Baby Shark Show and Character Meet-and-Greets

In celebration of Baby Shark’s 10th anniversary, SeaWorld visitors can now catch Baby Shark and Pinkfong’s FIN-tastic Adventure, a live high-energy performance pairing beloved Pinkfong characters and songs with dynamic dance moves. The colorful show plays at the beautiful Mission Bay Theater several times a day on weekends, and is just short enough to be a fun and easy watch for kiddos. The performance is only around until June 22, so make sure to see it while you can. My little one truly hasn’t stopped babbling about it.

After the show, stick around for meet-and-greet opportunities with your kids’ favorite characters, including Pinkfong, Baby Shark, Mommy Shark, and Daddy Shark. We loved the photo opps! You’ll also find new themed snacks, merchandise, and treats for sale, including special Baby Shark popcorn, Baby Shark cotton candy, and Baby Shark lemonade.

The immersive Jellyfish Experience is sure to mesmerize the whole family.

New Jewels of the Sea: The Jellyfish Experience

I’ve always been fascinated by jellyfish—I could watch them undulate through the water for hours. And, now, I can confirm that SeaWorld’s newest permanent exhibit, Jewels of the Sea: The Jellyfish Experience, is simply mesmerizing!

The immersive experience–which is the largest standalone jellyfish exhibit in the country–guides visitors through the “Realm of Jellies,” where they can explore the creatures’ habitats, their unique anatomy, and more, through enchanting aquariums and displays. The journey also features a 360-degree digital adventure, where LED visuals captivate kids and grownups alike with a deep-sea dive through the eyes of a jellyfish.

Along the way, you’ll find the oh-so-memorable “Jellyfish Passage,” a 10-foot-tall living archway of moon jellies, and believe you me when I say: have your camera ready! This was my favorite part of the day and a big hit with my kids.

You'll find rides for every age and thrill level at SeaWorld San Diego.

What Ages is SeaWorld Best For?

With my own crew ranging from ages 2 to 9, my favorite thing about SeaWorld is that it truly caters to kids–and adults–of all ages.

In addition to the engaging shows and exhibits, SeaWorld offers rides for every age and thrill level. Adrenaline seekers will love the roller coasters, like the Electric Eel, with its straight drops and electrifying loops. Meanwhile, younger visitors flock to more kid-friendly options, like swinging on the Octarock and riding the waves on Rescue Rafter.

Note that children under the age of 3 get into SeaWorld San Diego for free!

Kid-friendly amenities make SeaWorld San Diego a perfect destination for families.

What to Know Before You Visit SeaWorld San Diego

Family-friendly amenities: You’ll find ample stroller parking at each attraction, bathrooms scattered throughout the park, rides for even the youngest visitors, and a sprawling play area in the Rescue Jr. zone for kids who need to get their wiggles out. Parking: Parking starts at $35 per car, with easy walking access to the front gate.

Stroller rentals: If you don’t have a stroller handy, you can rent one at the park starting at $40.

Save hours with a Quick Queue pass: To skip the lines, consider a Quick Queue Junior pass that works for all the kiddie rides for just $4.99. For coaster lovers, the Quick Queue Unlimited pass for $49.99 is the way to go.

All-Day Dining Deal: While you can pay-as-you-go at the many restaurants, snack shops, and bars across the park (no outside food allowed), you can also opt for the All-Day Dining Deal. It allows holders to grab a meal every 90 minutes for a flat rate of $59.99 for adults and $29.99 for kids–and we felt it made ordering simpler while keeping everyone satisfied.

Extra clothes: Certain rides and experiences at SeaWorld can get you wet, like the splash zone for Orca Encounter or Dolphin Adventures, the splash pad in the Rescue Jr. area, and water rides like Journey to Atlantis and Shipwreck Rapids. Consider packing extra outfits.

The SeaWorld App: Make sure to download the app before your visit for a handy map, show times, current wait times at attractions, and a mobile ordering feature for on-site dining. It’s a game changer!
