SAN
DIEGO, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SeaWorld San
Diego revealed that the much-anticipated Jewels of the Sea: A
Jellyfish Experience will now open in Spring 2025. The Jellyfish
Experience will be the first of its kind for SeaWorld parks and the
newest immersive and interactive aquarium at the park. Featuring a
variety of jelly species, beautiful storytelling and a kaleidoscope
of colors and shapes in three unique galleries, this remarkable
exhibit will delight and exhilarate guests. Part of SeaWorld's
mission is to educate and inspire guests to explore the wonders of
the ocean, and this upcoming exhibit provides a detailed look at
jellyfish with exceptional educational components throughout the
exhibit.
The park also announced exciting plans in 2025 for Journey to
Atlantis, SeaWorld San Diego's

2024. Next year, the ride will be reinvented, paying tribute to the
original beloved version while adding new elements to create a more
exciting and immersive experience than ever before. The new Journey
to Atlantis will emerge with a
refreshed storyline, as well as new water elements and special
visual effects and new show elements that pay tribute to the
original attraction while making it better than ever.
