Please keep in mind that SeaWorld San Diego personnel are ready and able to help a guest, however, they are neither trained nor permitted to physically lift a guest. Should it be required guests with a disability requiring this assistance should plan to visit SeaWorld San Diego with someone who can physically help.
All stadiums and park information have designated wheelchair seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the proximity of the animals performing in Pets Rule!, guests with assistance animals will be directed to available seating away from the area where the animals will be performing. A word of caution, there are many seats marked "Soak Zone". Do not sit in these areas unless you and your assistance animal are prepared to get very wet.

All assistance animals must remain on a leash or harness at all times and you may not leave your assistance animal unattended. Assistance animals must remain a reasonable distance from SeaWorld marine life and other animals.
