Assistance animals are welcome at SeaWorld San Diego. The following guidelines will help you enjoy your visit with your assistance animal.

All assistance animals must remain on a leash or harness at all times and you may not leave your assistance animal unattended. Assistance animals must remain a reasonable distance from SeaWorld marine life and other animals. This is best accomplished by maintaining a minimum of six feet between your assistance animal and the park animals. You are responsible for controlling your assistance animal's behavior. If at any time your animal's behavior becomes a threat to the safety or well being of our guests, you will be asked to leave the facility or board your animal in our kennel.

An assistance animal relief area is located next to the Bayside Skyride. Please make your best effort to take your assistance animal to this designated area when relief is needed. Remember, you are responsible for cleaning up after your assistance animal.

US Bank ATMs are located throughout the park. MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover and JCB are accepted at all ticket booths, restaurants and gift shops with proper identification. Sorry, personal checks not accepted.
