Aquatica is celebrating its 5th birthday next week, and the residents want to share their excitement with you!

We are excited to premiere a series of webisodes that will give you exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the transformation of Aquatica San Diego, a waterpark that only SeaWorld can create! When the gates of Aquatica open this summer, the park will feature exhilerating water slides, a white sandy beach and animal connections including a beautiful flamingo habitat!

Already tired of the cooler weather that has hit central Florida this past week? Good news! Orlando temperatures will reach the mid 70’s this weekend. What a perfect chance to enjoy all that Aquatica has to offer… before the chill of winter blows in!
