In a Nutshell
SeaWorld San Antonio opened Barracuda Strike in March 2026, billed as Texas’ first inverted family coaster. In 2026, Howl-O-Scream came with every San Antonio admission ticket, and Miracles, the holiday orca show, returned for Christmas Celebration. Aquatica San Antonio sat out the 2026 season and reopens in 2027.
SeaWorld San Antonio tickets on Fever include Weekday and Any Day tickets, with or without All-Day Dining, and a SeaWorld and Aquatica ticket, with no booking fees.
