SeaWorld San Antonio®, Exclusive Park Experiences

For up-close animal encounters, both SeaWorld and Aquatica offer a variety of programs with beluga whales, penguins and more. There are also exclusive dining opportunities to make your vacation memorable. 

Animal Interaction
Dolphin Touch at Dolphin Cove®: The new Dolphin Touch program takes guests’ connection with dolphins to a whole new level. Dolphin Touch provides guests the opportunity to touch a bottlenose dolphin while learning more about them from a trainer, poolside. 

Beluga Interaction Program: Participants put on a wetsuit and wade into a truly unforgettable experience as they meet mysterious white beluga whales in an up-close-and-personal encounter. SeaWorld is one of the few places in the world where guests can enter a beluga habitat for this mesmerizing interaction.

Penguin Interaction Program: Participants immerse themselves in a penguin’s environment during this one hour program. Following an educational briefing from one of the aviculturists, guests visit behind-the-scenes at Penguin Encounter, put on parkas and boots and enter the penguins’ 35 degree home. While on the snow, participants meet, greet, touch and participate in a penguin feeding.

Animal Tours
Behind-the-Scenes Tour: Guests get an in-depth, insider’s perspective on SeaWorld and learn how SeaWorld cares for animals both at the park and out in the field, as well as feed stingrays and touch a shark.
