SeaWorld San Diego is thrilled to announce all-new safe and fun Halloween and Christmas festivities this year as well as the launch of an updated Annual Pass Program that gives fans the opportunity to enjoy the park’s holiday thrills as much as they want in 2020. Plus, they can plan to come back again and again for all of 2021 and be among the first to ride the park’s all-new Emperor, California’s tallest and fastest floorless dive coaster.
Get your kids’ Halloween costumes ready for SeaWorld’s Spooktacular starting Friday, Oct 2. The fan-favorite will feature spooky surprises and fall fun for kids, like a pumpkin scavenger hunt, a candy trail that will lead to a safe and fun trick-or-treating experience, cookie decorating with some furry friends and a Spooktacular dance party.
Families will also enjoy all new fall flavor-inspired menu items, including caramel and chocolate dipped apples and caramel corn while adults can indulge in cocktails, seasonal beers and wine, all with enhanced safety measures and Halloween décor throughout the park. Pass Members will receive unlimited admission with no additional purchase required. Spooktacular will run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 1. Online reservations will be required and available soon.
The park’s annual Christmas Celebration will launch in November and include some of the park’s most cherished yuletide traditions. Admission to Spooktacular and Christmas Celebration are both included with an Annual Pass. SeaWorld Annual Passes are available at the lowest price of the year for a limited time and starting as low as $9 per month. The new “Best Benefits Ever” also include FREE parking, up to 50 percent off in-park purchases, access to special rewards and much more. Advance reservations are required to help manage capacity.
“We are so excited about today’s announcements. As a parent and grandparent, I know how important it is to have activities planned for kids around the holidays that are both fun and safe,” said Marilyn Hannes, park president of SeaWorld San Diego. “With our new Annual Pass options, families can enjoy Halloween and Christmas festivities in a physically-distanced, outdoor environment as many times as they’d like in 2020, and return to see us again in 2021 as we get ready to launch our most thrilling coaster yet, Emperor, in the spring.”
