## About

SeaWorld San Diego on Mission Bay glows with over a million holiday lights, special holiday animal presentations, and California's largest musical Christmas tree—a soaring 320-foot SkyTower Tree of Lights. Families can watch the heartwarming 'Clyde & Seamore's Christmas Special' sea lion show and listen to caroling dolphins.

Children delight in meeting Santa Claus, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in the festive Christmas Village, complete with real falling snow flurries and artisan s'mores fire pits. Paved pathways, stroller rentals, and shaded outdoor dining make visits seamless for parents.
