Rescue Jr., the New Kid-Friendly Interactive Adventure Zone Themed Around SeaWorld’s Animal Rescue Efforts, is Now Open

SAN ANTONIO, TX (March 8, 2025) – SeaWorld San Antonio officially opened its newest attraction, Rescue Jr., an immersive, interactive adventure zone aimed at inspiring and educating children about animal rescue and conservation efforts. The grand opening was celebrated today with local children participating in a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside SeaWorld’s dedicated rescue team and some rescued terrestrial animals.

Designed specifically with young adventurers in mind, Rescue Jr. provides a variety of interactive rides and engaging play areas that spotlight SeaWorld’s longstanding mission of animal rescue, rehabilitation, and protection. Families can take advantage of special offerings, including the FREE Preschool Card, granting unlimited SeaWorld visits throughout 2025 for children ages three to five. Parents won’t miss out either—SeaWorld’s Spring Break Sale currently includes a SeaWorld Pass bundled with free admission to Aquatica for a limited time.

“Rescue Jr. is an exciting new chapter in SeaWorld’s commitment to inspiring the next generation of animal advocates,” said Byron Surrett, Chief Parks Operations Officer at SeaWorld. “Spring Break is the perfect opportunity for families to discover how Rescue Jr. combines fun and education, bringing our rescue efforts vividly to life.”
