SEA WORLD ANIMAL ADVENTURES PROGRAMS

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Participation in Sea World Animal Adventures is only available to Sea World guests and only on the day of their visit.

PLEASE NOTE: General admission to Sea World is an additional cost and is not included in the price of any Animal Adventures programs.

Participants:
• acknowledge they will be required to check in one hour prior to their program start time. For programs commencing prior to 10am please consult your ticket.
• acknowledge that they will be entering an environment housing animals. Whilst Sea World takes all reasonable precautions to ensure the health and safety of guests and staff, participants should be aware that close encounters with animals will always involve a degree of unpredictability. Quick reactions and strict attention to directions from staff are essential.
• release Sea World to the full extent permitted by law from any claim for personal injury, loss or damage arising from their participation in Animal Adventure programs.

A criteria checklist must be completed to participate in each of the Animal Adventures programs. The criteria are strictly enforced to ensure the safety of our guests, staff and animals. All participation is subject to final assessment by the Sea World staff member at the time of attendance. If at any time prior or during the program a participant is assessed by staff as not being able to fulfil the criteria, they will be directed to leave the program. No refund will be given [subject to any requirements at law to the contrary].

Availability, start times, duration times, number of participants and all other conditions and/or relevant information are subject to change without notice. All participants, or a legal guardian (18 years or over), will be required to sign a liability release form and the criteria checklist before beginning the program.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

Sea World may at its sole discretion cancel any Animal Adventures program if we are of the opinion that extreme weather or other conditions make it impossible for the program to be held.

Refunds will only be paid to the person who made the booking.

Animal Adventure bookings are:
