For 2025, SeaWorld San Antonio reveals plans for Rescue Jr. This kid-friendly area promises play areas, immersive attractions, and unique water elements.

SeaWorld San Antonio unveiled its plans for a new world of discovery, the Rescue Jr. hub, set to open Spring 2025. This immersive, hands-on zone encourages younger guests to explore SeaWorld’s animal rescue efforts. Rescue Jr will have immersive rides and large climbing structures. Of course, SeaWorld San Antonio will have special water features. SeaWorld states that from interactive play to kid-friendly coasters, Rescue Jr. aims to inspire and entertain guests of all ages while connecting them to SeaWorld’s rescue, rehabilitation and conservation efforts.

This spring, children receive the chance to play heroes of the park at Rescue Jr. They can learn about animal rescue and rehabilitation through hands-on, active and engaging experiences. Some examples are:

• Beach Rescue Racer – This is a new 1,000-foot roller coaster. The coaster cars are in the shape of a beach jeep and feature graphics of different species.
• Ocean Quest Express – Kids can enjoy a fun train ride themed around a thrilling sea rescue search. This involves a game of “I Spy” looking out for hidden sea life along the way.
• Tide Pool Tumble – This allows guests to glide and slide in and out with the tide. It provides a seaside joy ride, according to SeaWorld San Antonio.
• Seabird Swing – Guests get to enjoy a soaring adventure above the ground to observe seabirds.

“Rescue Jr. will be an exciting addition to our park and put marine animal rescue at the forefront with our guests. The new play area will be a fun and exciting way for our guests to learn about the animal rescues that our dedicated teams do every day, 365 days a year,” said Jeff Davis, park president, SeaWorld San Antonio. “We know that Rescue Jr., along with all of our animal habitats and presentations, will ignite a passion in young hearts, inspiring them to become future animal rescuers, scientists, veterinarians or conservationists.”

SeaWorld continues to be one of the largest marine animal rescue organizations in the world. This organization has aided over 41,000 injured and orphaned animals. A portion of proceeds from tickets and in park purchases goes toward SeaWorld’s rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
