SeaWorld San Diego Seven Seas Food Festival 2024

Last weekend we were invited out to attend the Seven Seas Food Festival at SeaWorld San Diego. This is one of our favorite events at the park and it seems like it gets better each and every year. 

And despite someone making food plans based on the Orlando event, we still found plenty of amazing food and fun at every turn. It's for sure a can't miss event. Let's head in and have some fun!

Entering the park at the moment is a bit wonky as the park continues work on a new park entrance.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Entry was rather seamless, here you can see the work being done on the new entry from the other side.
Picture
Still no indication as to why they are replacing the entrance, I'm sure they've got something planned.
Picture
We are quite excited for Jewels of the Sea and can't wait to get back to check it out.
Picture
Before we get into the food, the park is also celebrating it's 60th anniversary, lots of great merchandise and other things to celebrate.

Alright, let's get into the food! We did a quick reel on Instagram with our top 5 treats from the event. It's quite hard to eat 20 tastings when there are only 2 of you.

We started off our day with some Baklava, which was absolutely delicious. The Bao and Almond Cookie are below. We got the Bao without the Kimchi, but it didn't need it at all. It was delicious just like this. We also tried a couple of tea's at the Boba Bar which were fantastic.

Over in Germany, the pretzel with beer cheese was amazing. We would have bathed in that cheese. I loved the Schnitzel sandwich while we both felt the Apple Kuchen could have used some kind of sauce on it.

In Mexico, the Carne Asada Nachos were definitely the biggest portion of food we got, the Carnitas Tacos were delicious while the Shrimp Cocktail could have used a couple more shrimp.

Polynesian Flavors was one of our favorite stops, and what a beautiful setting. The Lilikoi Bar was delicious. Did you know Lilikoi is just Passion Fruit? We didn't. But this was absolutely delicious. We also got the Huli Huli Chicken Thighs and a couple of drinks from the Tiki Bar.

Overall we had an absolutely fantastic day at SeaWorld, seeing some of our favorite animals, enjoying some tasty food and enjoying a perfect spring day. We highly recommend visiting the Seven Seas Food Festival! The event runs through April 28th and you can find all of the information here.

SAN DIEGO, Ca. (May 24, 2023) – Summer is almost here, and a wave of all-new summer fun is ready to wash over SeaWorld San Diego as guests enjoy fireworks, live music, Polynesian Fire dancers, and more beginning Memorial Day Weekend.  New thrills to explore await and new opportunities to learn about the park’s rescue efforts with the spring openings of Arctic Rescue and Rescue Jr. Guests can enjoy Emperor, voted one of the top 10 best coasters in USA Today’s 10Best 2023.  And starting June 16, the new Summer Spectacular will bring mermaids, pirates, and an exciting concert lineup to the park for a jam-packed summer season of new and fan-favorite family fun.
 
Jim Lake, SeaWorld San Diego Park President, said: “This is the biggest summer launch our park has had in years and there is no better time to visit. We have new and amazing experiences for park visitors including two new attractions for families to enjoy that teach our guests about rescue efforts and animal conservation in a fun and playful way. SeaWorld is going to have an amazing energy all summer long and we’re really going to wow our guests with a lively entertainment lineup, a new ride, new area for kids, amazing animal presentations, live performances throughout the park, great food and a star-studded concert lineup of amazing artists.”
Summer highlights at SeaWorld San Diego include:

  • Play like a Rescue Team Member at the new kid-friendly play area, Rescue Jr. Opening on Saturday, May 27, Children will become the heroes of the park and learn about animal rescue and rehabilitation in the coolest way possible - through hands-on, active, and engaging experiences. Kids can enjoy exciting play elements, a splash pad, water features, climbing structures and amazing rides. Real rescue vehicles, an obstacle course, fun animal facts, and tips on how to help conservation every day add to the fun. Kids will also be able to meet Rescue team members and rescued animals to learn more about conservation and helping animals in need. Guests will have non-stop fun and adventure with interactive play elements, fun water features, thrilling climbing structures, and engaging rides that will take them on a rescue quest. 
  • All-new family-friendly coaster Arctic Rescue, the fastest and longest straddle coaster on the West Coast with three exhilarating launches. Guests are invited to hop on a snowmobile and launch at up to 40 mph on a chilly adventure as they race through the unpredictable arctic climate to help animals in danger. The snowmobile-style seats create a uniquely immersive coaster experience as riders lean into turns and glide up heights as tall as 30 feet. Following a fun experience on the ride, guests can walk through the Wild Arctic exhibit and witness the wonders of the park’s resident beluga whales, walruses, and ringed seals whose wild populations are being threatened by a loss of Arctic sea ice. According to USA Today’s 10 Best list, Arctic Rescue is one of the most anticipated rides of the year.
  • All-new Family-Fun Entertainment filled with fireworks, fire dance performances, live music and more. The new FantaSEA of Dreams Fireworks Spectacular is a thrilling spectacle with festive colors and brilliant pyrotechnics that will light up the sky on select nights. From Memorial Day weekend through June 18, Guests will feel and experience tropical sounds while Polynesian Fire Dancers tell the stories of the islands and turn up the heat as fire dancers take to the stage. The fun continues with the new SeaWorld Good Vibrations Band performing Beach Boys cover songs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays plus Memorial Day.
  • The new Summer Spectacular will transform SeaWorld into a breathtaking celebration of summer, sea life, and childlike wonder. A new stunt show and an engaging parade await, plus summer goers will meet mythical mermaids, watch pirates battle for treasure on the high seas, and see lifelike manta rays and jellyfish float along the park’s pathways. The Summer Concert Series will also be returning to the park with a star-studded lineup sure to impress and bring guests back week after week for fun live musical performances.
Best Way to Play All Summer Long

SeaWorld San Diego Update: Emperor, Tidal Twister and General Park Update - January 25, 2022

Welcome everybody to our first SeaWorld San Diego update of 2022. This promises to be a great year at the park with the opening of Emperor in less than 2 months! In this update we've got a lot of pics and video of Emperor which is opening on March 12th, and Tidal Twister that looks very close to reopening although we have no firm date on that yet. In anticipation of that busy year, Journey to Atlantis, Shipwreck Rapids and the Turtle exhibit are all closed for refurbishment. 

Our video also features Flamingos chasing Manta, because it's funny. 

For all of the Emperor opening information be sure to click here.
