All-New Mrs. Claus Christmas Parade

We love SeaWorld San Diego any time of year but Christmastime is always special - and it's always a surprise. You never know what the theme or focus will be but you can see the park transform annually into a Christmas Celebration that just keeps getting better. And like a great Christmas present, it keeps giving.

Kids will be dazzled by the lights, the lasers, flashy costumes, energetic music and iconic favorites (Santa, Mrs. Claus, reindeer, drinking Coca-Cola or cocoa with colorful sugar sprinkles on top.)

Here's a list of  attractions to experience and put you in a jolly mood!
