San Diego, with its sunny days and year-round mild climate, offers so many things to do. This visitor-friendly city features dozens of world-class attractions within a short drive: SeaWorld, the Wild Animal Park, LEGOLAND®, and the most famous San Diego attraction—the San Diego Zoo, located in beautiful Balboa Park.

During this intimate two-hour experience, you'll be treated like a VIP as we introduce you to furry, feathered, and scaly critter celebrities in our private show area. You'll even meet an animal star-in-training! Next, stroll over to our rhino exhibit to have an extremely close encounter of the friendly kind with two of the Zoo's biggest personalities. Our own paparazzi will be snapping photos throughout the program, so be ready for your close-up! A souvenir photo is included with your Backstage Pass, and you can purchase the rest after the program for a nominal fee.

Venture beyond the ocean’s door at SeaWorld® San Diego. Get so close you can touch a dolphin’s fin, get up-close to a penguin, stare down a shark and connect with the sea’s creatures in their world. Come see what everyone’s talking about and experience Believe — the visually stunning Shamu® show.
