Penguin Swim Lessons
After almost 14 years at SeaWorld San Diego, I just learned something new: penguins don’t know how to swim instinctively. In the wild, chicks are left alone to learn, which means waiting for the first one to take a plunge or fall in.

In February, about a dozen Adelie, gentoo and macaroni juveniles were secluded inside the Penguin Encounter while their adult plumage grew in.
Fresh New Logo for the SeaWorld San Diego Skytower…how’d they do that?
The SeaWorld San Diego Skytower just had a little work done! The 320-foot tower was recently painted, which means the SeaWorld logo on top also needed to be replaced. So how exactly does our team get a logo way up on the top of that tower? Thanks to the GoPro camera, we are going to show exactly how they do that. Our lucky team of three scenic craftspeople started before the sun even came up and placed not just one but two logos on the Skytower. Caution, if you are scared of heights, you may want to make sure you are sitting down for this:

Rocky Point Preserve at SeaWorld San Diego has been undergoing some renovations for a few months and we are gearing up to reopen our area in less than one week!

One of the big changes is there will be more access throughout the day around the pool, which means more opportunities to get up close to our resident bottlenose dolphins.
SeaWorld San Diego Penguins Enjoy VIP Screening of 'Frozen Planet'
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to attend a movie premiere or special screening of a program before it was available to the public. While I still can never say I have done this, the penguins at SeaWorld San Diego sure can!
