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.
Entry was rather seamless, here you can see the work being done on the new entry from the other side.
Still no indication as to why they are replacing the entrance, I'm sure they've got something planned.
We are quite excited for Jewels of the Sea and can't wait to get back to check it out.
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.

“Pipeline: The Surf Coaster” at SeaWorld Orlando and “Artic Rescue” at SeaWorld San Diego will both debut in spring 2023 ORLANDO, Fla. (November 15, 2022) – Today at the annual International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo (IAAPA) in Orlando, SeaWorld unveiled the ride vehicles for two of its exciting new coasters that will both be debuting in spring 2023: SeaWorld Orlando’s “Pipeline: The Surf Coaster” and “SeaWorld San Diego’s Artic Rescue.” Last month, these two new attractions were announced, and now the first look at its ride vehicles have officially been revealed. “Pipeline: The Surf Coaster” at SeaWorld Orlando Debuting in the spring of 2023, “Pipeline: The Surf Coaster” is the World’s first Surf Coaster and a first-of-its-kind attraction that can only be experienced at SeaWorld Orlando. The new attraction celebrates the iconic surfing cultures found around the world with a unique surfboard ride vehicle that will give riders an immersive experience when their seats rise and fall to mimic the sensation of riding on a wave. Guests will ride waves on an iconic, gnarly surfboard, and go on a journey of twists and turns, including a “wave curl” inversion which will simulate the feel of an “alley-oop” – a surfing maneuver that only the most experienced surfers in the world are able to perform. With a maximum speed of 60 MPH, “Pipeline: The Surf Coaster” is ideal for thrill enthusiasts everywhere. “Artic Rescue” at SeaWorld San Diego This family-friendly, triple launch straddle coaster will debut at SeaWorld San Diego in spring 2023 as the longest and fastest straddle coaster on the West Coast. “Artic Rescue” takes passengers on a journey that starts at an indoor launch station inside the park’s Wild Artic exhibit and takes off outside on a unique snowmobile style vehicle. The coaster’s unique straddle snowmobile-style seats allow for an immersive ride experience for each rider as they lean into banks and turns and glide up heights as tall as 30 feet along the 2,800 feet of track. The ride reaches up to 40 MPH racing through the Arctic to help animals in danger while experiencing three exhilarating launches, each faster than the last. The new ride will bring awareness to the pressures the Arctic is facing and allow guests to visit, see and learn more about each animal whose species call the Arctic their home. SeaWorld will also be introducing “Catapult Falls” in 2023, coming to SeaWorld San Antonio. “Catapult Falls” will feature the world’s steepest flume drop, North America’s only vertical lift flume coaster, and the tallest flume drop in Texas. This family friendly ride will catapult through the launch at speeds of 30 feet per second, allowing riders to feel the rush of a coaster while experiencing the rocking and swaying of riding on a track of water. Guests can stay tuned for a first look at Catapult Falls’ ride vehicles.
