Dive into Fun at Sea World San Antonio
For your next vacation to the Texas Hill Country, are you seeking adventure and thrills? Or maybe you want to explore and learn new things? At Sea World San Antonio, you can do both! Located just 50 minutes from our historic Hotel Giles in Comfort, Texas, this world-renowned marine life park combines exhilarating rides, captivating shows and an up-close look at some of the ocean's most fascinating creatures, making it an ideal destination for anyone looking for both an exhilarating and enriching experience. In 2024, Sea World is celebrating 60 years of marine conservation, education and entertainment, adding even more excitement to your visit.
Sea World San Antonio boasts a range of rides and attractions that cater to the adventurous spirit. Check out the park's roller coasters, such as the Steel Eel hypercoaster, the Great White with its loops and corkscrews, or the classic wooden Texas Stingray. Each one provides mind-blowing twists, turns and drops that will get your adrenaline pumping. Cool off from the hot Texas sun on water rides like the Journey to Atlantis and Rio Loco. And don't miss the park's newest ride — Catapult Falls. Introduced in March 2024, it's the world's first launched flume ride with the world's steepest flume drop!
When you're ready to slow things down, check out the daily shows that feature amazing marine animals. The Orca Encounter show is a must-see, where you can witness the grace and power of killer whales up close, gaining a deeper appreciation for these majestic creatures. See graceful beluga whales and athletic Pacific white-sided dolphins playfully interacting with each other and their trainers during the Ocean Discovery show. California sea lions and Asian small-clawed otters take center stage at the Sea Lion Experience. If you want to interact with the animals, you can add on an Animal Experience or the Ultimate VIP Tour to your visit. These allow for different levels of interaction, from touching and feeding the animals to putting on a wetsuit and getting in the water with them.
One of the standout features of Sea World San Antonio is its dedication to marine conservation and education. Over its long history, Sea World has rescued and rehabilitated thousands of marine animals, including sea turtles, manatees and birds. The park's Discovery Point is a tucked-away oasis within SeaWorld San Antonio that not only showcases diverse marine life but also provides insightful information about conservation efforts and the importance of protecting our oceans. This is where you'll get a below-the-surface look at dolphins, sharks and more. Engaging with these animal habitat exhibits offers a chance to learn about the natural world in an interactive and memorable way.
For those looking to cool off in style, Sea World’s adjacent waterpark, Aquatica, is a tropical oasis that promises both relaxation and excitement. Aquatica features a variety of water slides and attractions designed for those seeking a refreshing escape. The Taumata Racer, a high-speed racing slide, and the Walhalla Wave, a thrilling water ride, are perfect for thrill-seekers. If relaxation is more your speed, the park's lazy river and wave pools offer a tranquil setting to unwind under the Texas sun. With its lush landscapes and South Seas-inspired design, Aquatica provides a resort-like atmosphere that adds an extra layer of enjoyment to your Sea World adventure. (Note: Aquatica is not included in your Sea World ticket price and requires separate admission.)
Sea World San Antonio offers a perfect blend of excitement, education and relaxation. Make plans to visit this aquatic wonderland during your next stay with us at Hotel Giles. As Sea World celebrates its 60th anniversary, there’s never been a better time to experience the magic and wonder of this iconic marine park.
