The festivities also feature new and returning fan-favorite

special entertainment, such as dancers and high-energy atmospheric acts.
“We are thrilled to celebrate 60 years of creating
enriching, animal care experiences, exhilarating rides and all-around fun for
everyone with our family - the exceptional guests, ambassadors and partners
that have made SeaWorld the special place it is today,” United Parks &
Resorts Inc. CEO Marc Swanson said.
“As we look to the next 60 years and beyond, we are excited
about the future and the one-of-a-kind experiences that will continue to
