ORLANDO, Fla., March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Aquatica Water Parks in Orlando, San Antonio and San Diego are now accepting reservations for 2021 for guests looking to make a splash this spring and summer. Aquatica Orlando is currently open for the 2021 season, Aquatica San Antonio will reopen on March 6 and Aquatica San Diego is anticipated to reopen on May 29.* Each Aquatica Water Park worked closely with state and local health officials, medical experts, and attraction industry leaders last summer to develop strict protocols and guidelines to safely reopen and will continue to follow and implement those previously introduced, enhanced health and safety guidelines in Orlando, San Antonio, and San Diego. Limited capacity measures will be in place to give guests the opportunity to enjoy a safe outdoor experience. Reservations are required; therefore, visitors are encouraged to purchase their date-specific tickets early to secure admission.

"With Spring Break around the corner for many and summer on the horizon, we are thrilled to be able to offer more family-fun experiences at Aquatica in Orlando, San Antonio, and San Diego, and welcome back thousands of guests to safely enjoy our Aquatica Parks," said Marc Swanson, interim chief executive officer at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. "Recognized as one of the top water park brands in the country, Aquatica truly offers something for everyone. Whether you are looking to float along the lazy river, experience the thrills of unique rides like the KareKare Curl at Aquatica Orlando, Tonga Twister in San Antonio or the Walhalla Wave in San Diego, Aquatica is a one-of-a-kind destination for outdoor fun."

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS

Following a successful 2020 season, Aquatica is committed to a continued focus on the health and safety of its guests, employees, and the animals in its care. Over the last year, the parks have continued to work diligently with state and local health officials, outside consultants, and attraction industry leaders to enhance already strict health, safety, and cleanliness standards. Building on the standard set by Aquatica last summer, these protocols and guidelines will continue to be modified based on evolving industry standards and methodologies, public health, and governmental directives, and advancing scientific knowledge on the transmissibility of COVID-19.

Face coverings will be required for guests ages 2 and older in certain designated areas of the park, including the park entrance and exit, retail areas, food and beverage areas, and other designated areas. Face coverings will not be required in the water, such as in the lazy river, the wave pool, all water slides, and all other water attractions in the water park.
