Highlights of this year’s Lunar New Year celebration include:

  • The Year of the Pig “Pig Garden” – Guests will have the chance to meet some of SeaWorld San Diego’s rescued pigs in an up-close encounter near the Skytower. These potbellied pigs were taken in from rescue organizations and have since become a part of the park’s “Pets Rule!” family.

  • Chinese Acrobatics – An all-new teeter board act will be featured as part of a new 25-minute show in the Mission Bay Theater by the Chinese Acrobatics of Hebei. In addition to the teeter board, other performances include contortion, lion dancing, and juggling.
