New Jellyfish Exhibit Opening In Spring 2025 At SeaWorld San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA — SeaWorld San Diego's new jellyfish exhibit will now open next spring, the theme park announced.

"Jewels of the Sea: A Jellyfish Experience," which was originally scheduled to open this year, is described as a "first of its kind for SeaWorld parks." The exhibit will feature a variety of jellyfish species in three separate galleries.

"Visiting the new Jellyfish Experience is an amazing opportunity like no other — a chance for our guests to see up close the spectacular details of these underwater marvels and witness how they live their lives in astonishing clarity," said Eric Otjen, vice president of zoological operations at SeaWorld San Diego.

"Guests will walk through striking habitats and view vivid displays to learn more about these wonderful creatures," Otjen said. "This new exhibit aligns with our mission of educating and inspiring guests to learn more about our oceans and the world around us."

The exhibit will feature jellyfish on display in multiple aquariums, including an 18-foot-tall cylinder slated to be one of the country's tallest, a 10-foot-tall acrylic archway, and a "touchable globe of cascading water and jellyfish."

The exhibit will also include an immersive, virtual gallery covering the ceiling and walls with LED digital video panels displaying "captivating oceanic scenes."

"SeaWorld San Diego is committed to providing the jellyfish the highest standards of care while also ensuring each detail of the exhibit is perfect and ready to exceed guest expectations when we open," said Tyler Carter, park president of SeaWorld San Diego.
