With Over 9 Million Christmas Lights, SeaWorld San Antonio Has The Largest Display In Texas

SeaWorld San Antonio transforms into a magical holiday wonderland with over nine million lights, festive activities, and iconic characters from November to January.

SeaWorld is always an undeniably magical place to visit, but the animals are even friendlier and more playful during the holiday season. That's because the entire park comes alive with over nine million lights from late November thru January. The SeaWorld San Antonio holiday festival is the largest light display in Texas and one of the most unique holiday attractions in San Antonio.

Watch a parade, meet Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, have a delicious dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and marvel at talented aquatic creatures who couldn't be more excited about all the festivities.

Spanning 250 acres, the SeaWorld San Antonio holiday lights enchant all who experience them. Trees, tunnels, and tons more festive scenes leave your eyes unsure of where to look next.

Along the way, you'll meet iconic characters who define what this time of year is all about. Take a stroll with Jolly Old Saint Nick, party with Rudolph and friends, and listen to the sounds of the season as sung by a melodious choir.

Just inside this charming little house is a buffet dinner with St. Nick himself. This is your chance to whisper the items on your list into his ear and pose for a photo to cherish forevermore.

A nightly Sesame Street Parade brings the whole park to life. Join all your favorite furry friends for an evening full of song, dance, and laughter with nostalgic tunes playing in the background.

You're never too young or old to revel in the magic of Christmas. Families consisting of multiple generations can unite and make precious memories like this one.

It all begins on November 10 and runs through January 2. Admission price is the same as any regular visit, with extra activities available for an additional fee.

Address: 10500 SeaWorld Drive, San Antonio, TX 78251. Festival hours are 1 p.m. until 9 p.m. daily.
