SeaWorld San Antonio is changing things up in light of the coronavirus pandemic, switching to year-round operations without any off season in 2021.
As capacity is limited due to COVID-19, SeaWorld San Antonio is extending its opening days next year, in a bid to boost attendance.
SeaWorld will operate all year in 2021, skipping its short off season of January and February. The attraction will open on select days during the additional months.
SeaWorld said (via Theme Park Insider): “After SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration this winter and the turn of the New Year, guests now have the additional months of January and February to enjoy all the unique sites and experiences that SeaWorld has to offer in a safe outdoor environment with limited capacity.”

Meanwhile, SeaWorld San Diego has been cleared by local officials to reopen its zoo areas under state guidance, as zoos are now allowed to operate in California.
“SeaWorld can open under state guidance for zoos,” said San Diego County spokesperson Tegan Glasheen. “Under that guidance, it can open outdoor areas, but needs to keep indoor aquariums and rides closed (via OC Register).”
Prior to this, SeaWorld reported financial results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2020, also confirming delays to coasters and offering an update on seasonal events.
