SeaWorld is turning 60 this year, and to celebrate, the world-class parks are throwing a party and marking the occasion throughout the year with all-new themed rides and attractions, exciting new presentations and shows, plus limited-edition food and beverage items, merchandise and collectibles that will be announced in the coming weeks.
All part of its “So Much More to Sea” 60th anniversary campaign, SeaWorld is inviting guests to dive deeper and explore more than ever before, including sharing history and milestones in park and through digital channels. The party officially gets started across the parks on Thursday, March 21, 60 years to the day that SeaWorld opened its gates for the first time in 1964. The anniversary kick-off party will be in full swing into the weekend, continuing through Sunday, March 24, and anniversary celebrations will continue with more special events and experiences coming this summer. Guests are invited to share their favourite SeaWorld memories over the past six decades and throughout the anniversary celebrations using #SeaWorld60.

We have been and continue to be committed to creating exciting and immersive experiences that help inspire guests of all ages to protect animals and the wild wonders of our world,” said Marc Swanson, CEO of SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. “Now, as we celebrate our 60th Anniversary, there’s truly ‘So Much More to Sea’ at SeaWorld. We’re inviting our guests to join us on a journey through our past and all that makes SeaWorld such a special place today, while also exploring all that’s new and exciting this year, including thrilling new rides and attractions, exciting new presentations and shows, exclusive experiences offers and limited-edition food and beverage, merchandise and collectibles.”
