Rides are closed but during the holiday season there is still plenty of fun to be had throughout this popular theme park.

6. Christmas Treasure Hunt

Santa has gifts for all of his eight reindeer, and you’ll need to search the park to find them. Grab a map and mark each location once you find each present. Then, take your completed treasure map (available for purchase) to the SeaWorld Store for a special gift!
