SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio’s only underwater ocean tunnel will open this week, just in time for summer.
SEA LIFE San Antonio opens to the public on Tuesday at the Shops at Rivercenter.
Aquarium officials said guests will come “face to fin” with sea life in 10 interactive zones at the aquarium.
These include the city’s first underwater ocean tunnel, a stingray bay and a sea horse mangrove exhibit.
“We look forward to welcoming over 3,000 creatures to the aquarium in the coming weeks, from an 8-foot zebra shark to our beautiful seahorses,” Nick Ireland, the curator for SEA LIFE San Antonio, said in a news release. “Guests will have the opportunity to come face to fin with these incredible sea creatures and immerse themselves in an underwater adventure where rays and sharks swim overhead in over 160,000 gallons of water. The attraction will also feature educational talks and feeding demonstrations throughout the day.”
Annual passes and single-day tickets are on sale now; annual memberships start at $45.99 for a family of three or more, and single-day tickets start at $23.99.
Annual pass holders get unlimited admission for a year.
Jeremy Aguillen, the general manager of SEA LIFE San Antonio and LEGOLAND Discovery Center San Antonio, said guests who are fully vaccinated will not be required to wear face coverings.
“While face masks are highly recommended during your visit to LEGOLAND Discovery Center and SEA LIFE San Antonio, face masks for guests who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required,” he said in a statement to KSAT. “Face masks or coverings are required for all employees and we still strongly recommend social distancing.”
LEGOLAND Discovery Center San Antonio is also located at the Shops at Rivercenter.
