School is nearly out and San Diegans are gearing up for the 2014 installment of “Summer Nights at SeaWorld.” Guests can enjoy all their favorite park attractions by day and then hang out for a whole new park after dark. The new DJ-hosted nighttime killer-whale show, “Shamu’s Celebration: Light Up the Night,” will have guests dancing and cheering through the night. Silly sea lions and mischievous otters will have visitors laughing with delight as the animals wreak havoc onstage at “Sea Lions Tonite.” Then, as the evening comes to a crescendo, SeaWorld’s new fireworks display, “Celebrate the Wonder,” will light up the night’s sky. The marine park’s summertime extravaganza is in high gear and continues June 7-8, June 14-Aug. 17, Aug. 23-24, and Aug. 30–Sept. 1.
Guests can purchase a SeaWorld one-year membership, which allows repeat admission for an entire year, plus free parking and discounts on food and merchandise. The membership cost is $145 for all ages.
During “Summer Nights at SeaWorld,” guests may also enjoy the park’s new fireworks display, “Celebrate the Wonder,” which caps off an evening full of nighttime animal shows, plus the park’s 320-foot Skytower Flag of Lights, which is decked out in red, white and blue lights from dusk to midnight through Sept. 1. Fireworks display times in the summer vary according to park hours.
