Everyone knows SeaWorld San Diego is one of the hottest tourist attractions each summer, but did you know that they also have a separate waterpark with rides and shows? SeaWorld’s Aquatica is located on Entertainment Circle in Chula Vista, 30 minutes south of SeaWorld.
You can make a splash at Aquatica San Diego when it reopens for season seven in 2019. Aquatica is SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment’s other cure for the summertime blues. With rides and slides for everyone from the least daring to the most adventurous, Aquatica is sure to become one of your favorite summer go-to destinations.
Get Up to 7 Free Aquatica Visits
Celebrate the return of Aquatica with FREE admission to the park when you buy a seven-day SeaWorld San Diego package with this summertime offer. Your SeaWorld San Diego package gives you express entry to Aquatica through September 30, 2019. The tickets are valid for seven consecutive days from the date of the first visit to either park.
Take Your Queue
Get right on the rides with the park’s Quick Queue system. Guests with Quick Queue wristbands can head to the front of the line at the park’s most popular rides: Kiwi Curl®, Whanau Way, Woohoo Falls®, Walhalla Wave®, and Tassie’s Twister. Hooroo Run’s 80-foot drop and Taumata Racer’s thrilling twists and turns round out the park’s adrenaline-infused water rides.
Catch Wave after Wave
Aquatica is also home to one of southern California’s largest wave pools that generates five-foot waves, perfect for bodysurfing.
Watch the Little Ones Splish Splash
Families with little ones will enjoy the children’s play areas, Slippity Dippity and Walkabout Waters. Slippity Dippity has a kid-size slide and waterfall feature for guests up to 48 inches tall. Walkabout Waters is a four-story structure built for kids of all ages who will delight in catching unsuspecting family members by surprise with jets of water from hoses and water cannons.
Commit to Conservation
It wouldn’t be a SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment property without animal exhibits. Floating down Loggerhead Lane, the park’s lazy river, guests will encounter several species of freshwater turtles and dozens of bright pink flamingos. Your visit to Aquatica helps support SeaWorld’s conservation efforts. Their scientific studies and strategic partnerships have aided in the rescue and rehabilitation of over 34,000 animals.
Upgrade Your Day
Guests who take a more leisurely approach to summer fun can relax in a poolside cabana. Premium and Ultimate Cabana packages include private access to Loggerhead Lane, a mini-fridge to keep your drinks cool, and a welcome basket filled with fresh fruit. The Premium Cabana package includes wristbands for four guests with the option to add two more for an additional fee. The Ultimate Cabana package is designed for larger groups. Wristbands for eight guests are included as part of the package and four more can be purchased at the park.
