SeaWorld announces new Sesame Place theme park in San Diego
SeaWorld Entertainment and Sesame Workshop announced the country's second Sesame Place park will open its doors in spring 2021. The 17-acre Sesame Place will be located next to SeaWorld San Diego. The theme park will be replacing SeaWorld's Aquatica water park. Sesame Place San Diego will also be a Certified Autism Center, where staff will undergo autism sensitivity and awareness training. The company ended its controversial orca breeding program in 2016 and also announced it would end its orca shows at its San Diego theme park.
