Sea World on the Gold Coast in Australia will be re-opening on June 26 under an industry-approved COVID Safe plan.

The park will be operating at 50% capacity and all guests will be required to download their entry tickets onto the Village Roadshow Theme Parks app for contactless entry and virtual queuing for the rides.

  • Changes to how guests enter and exit animal exhibits.
  • Removal of water fountains and printed park maps.
