San Antonio – All of SA had the opportunity to peek inside the construction zone of what will soon be SeaWorld San Antonio’s all-new, kid-friendly play area: Rescue Jr. Set to open in 2025, this exciting addition will combine playful rides, interactive learning, and a commitment to animal conservation in a fun, family-friendly space. Rescue Jr. promises hours of adventure where kids can step into the shoes of rescue heroes, taking on rescue-themed rides and water play areas while learning about the world of animal care and conservation.

Rescue-Themed Rides Await Young Heroes

Ride to the Rescue
One of the major highlights of Rescue Jr. is the Beach Rescue Racer, a family-friendly coaster where riders race along 1,300 feet of track to rescue stranded beach creatures. In their “rescue jeeps,” little heroes will experience an exhilarating journey as they swoop down the track to bring animals to safety.

Soar with Seabird Swing
Kids will feel the wind in their hair and the thrill of adventure on the Seabird Swing. This exciting swing ride lets young guests soar high above the water, emulating the sensation of a real-life rescue mission. It’s the perfect opportunity for those who dream of soaring to the skies to help save sea birds.

Explore on Ocean Quest Express
For a more educational experience, Ocean Quest Express offers an immersive train ride that invites riders to join a simulated mission to locate and save distressed sea creatures. With interactive elements, the train ride combines fun with learning as families chug along a scenic route with captivating views of SeaWorld’s waters.

Make a Splash at Sea Splash

After a day of heroic rescues, kids can cool off at Sea Splash, a lively splash pad that’s ideal for little rescuers to unwind and play. This water play area offers plenty of ways to make waves and refresh after a hard day’s “work” helping animals.

An Adventure with a Purpose

Rescue Jr. will offer more than just fun rides and splash pads; it will foster a love for animals and educate kids on conservation efforts. Each attraction is designed to inspire young guests to understand the importance of protecting and caring for marine life, instilling a passion for conservation through hands-on play and adventure.

Rescue Jr. is more than a playground – it’s an exciting educational experience that combines the joy of play with the meaningful message of animal rescue and care. SeaWorld San Antonio invites families to get ready for a one-of-a-kind adventure that encourages every child to make a difference, one rescue mission at a time.
