Review - Texas - San Antonio - Christmas Celebration at Sea World San Antonio

Sea World's annual Christmas Celebration has started and despite the new processes and many changes to the normal agenda, it was still an enjoyable visit for our family.

 

You must make a reservation to visit the park ahead of time (or same day) on their website. Be sure to add parking. No need to select a specific time slot like Six Flags. Bring your reservation barcodes with you in addition to your park entry tickets. Once you park, you will head past the Texas stonework photo-op to the white tent where they will take your temperature before you proceed to the security check and then ticket scanning.

Be sure to bring your masks!

They do have hand santizer stations throughout the park but personally I didn't like the strong aroma of their solution and was so glad that I had brought my own!

 

In the Bay of Play area for younger children, characters are meeting but in a socially distanced way (standing on a platform).

 

Also, the playground areas are closed off. Most of the other rides and activities throughout the park were operating even the splash pad.

 

Holiday decorations and photo-op statues are spread throughout the park.

 
 
 
 

One of my favorite part of the Christmas Celebration are the limited edition treats and dining opportunities. You can make reservations to eat with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus (tip - you can see Mrs. Claus wandering the park late in the day). There are refillable mugs for hot chocolate (prices vary by location). We always stock up on kettle corn as the sealed portions make great gifts.

 
 
 

As the sun starts setting, the lights come on and you will see why Sea World's Christmas Celebration is named one of the largest light displays in Texas. The lights are very bright. Be sure to check out the dancing light tunnel.

The day started out with light crowds but the people started trickling in steadily as the lights came on, but there are signs for social distancing throughout the decorated areas.
