Witness what SeaWorld San Diego has been up to with their all new Orca Encounter Show. Experience a whole new way to connect with the ocean’s most powerful predator. Dive deeper into their masterful hunting techniques and complex communication codes. Learn about the role of family and importance of play. And leave with a deeper connection to one of the sea’s mightiest, most magnificent animals.

Did you know that Orcas eat up to 500 pounds of food a day?  They like to eat fish, sea lions, penguins, squid, sea turtles, sharks, and even other kinds of whales?  And they don’t even chew their food!  They sallow it whole!

Another intriguing fact about Orcas is that they weigh up 6 tons and are multi-colored.  They have black on their backs and white on their tummies.  These are just a few of the many facts you will learn about the whales at the all new Orca Encounter at SeaWorld San Diego.

See The New Orca Encounter at SeaWorld San Diego

In 2017, my family and I had the opportunity to preview the new show, which was similar to watching a live documentary.  By far, the new Orca Encounter is much less theatorical and more educational in substance.

During the show, there are a total of 11 whales that perform outstanding choreographed moves set to synchronized music.  The whales still come out of the water to display their beauty, but the trainers no longer swim with them.

And leave with a deeper connection to one of the sea’s mightiest, most magnificent animals.

Now the animal behavorists explain to the audience how the whales hunt for their prey in the wild and communicate with one another through play.

The new show is also accompanied by a video that features real-world orcas doing the same maneuvers in the wild.

So, if your child loves whales, then a visit to see the new Orca Encounter at SeaWorld is instore for you.  And just in case you want to get wet, they still have the original splash zone area!

While at SeaWorld, I was also encouraged to learn about the park’s efforts at animal rescue, research and conservation.  With their history spanning more than 50 years and benefiting more than 28,000 animals, responding to wildlife in crisis is a commitment SeaWorld does not take lightly.

Take this beaver for example.  He was adopted by SeaWorld as a baby after a group of hikers found him alone in the woods.  Today he is an official SeaWorld Animal Ambassador and gets to meet and greet thousands of children throughout San Diego county as a part of SeaWorld’s community educational programs.

    My kids are just transitioning from a 3-year dinosaur phase into a newly-found fascination with sharks, whales, and other ocean life. My 5 year old daughter recently heard about SeaWorld from a fellow homeschooler and has been asking to go – she is in awe of the fact that such a place exists! And our son, 3, is completely smitten with orcas, so this is his dream! We would love to continue to inspire wonder and inquiry about these incredible creatures in both of them! ☺️
