Pin Trading is Coming to SeaWorld San Diego

Get ready to have fun at SeaWorld San Diego like never before, because an all-new, interactive pin trading experience is coming to the park starting Saturday, Feb. 24!

Here’s how pin trading works:

• Find a SeaWorld ambassador or guest at the park wearing a pin trading lanyard. Ambassadors with lanyards can be found throughout the park in gift shops, theaters, the front gate and the park’s entrance.
• Look at their collection and select your favorite pin.
• Trade one of your pins in exchange for one of their pins to add to your lanyard!

You may trade up to three pins per SeaWorld ambassador per day. Keep in mind that only pins on lanyards are available for trading with ambassadors. If there’s a guest who’s interested in trading pins with you, go right ahead and trade with them!

The best way to get ahead of the game? Start collecting your favorite SeaWorld pins now so that you’re all set for the big day on Saturday, Feb. 24 when trading begins with ambassadors and other guests. You can even score new collectible pins to grow your collection! Pins and lanyards are available for purchase now at the SeaWorld Store, located at the front of the park.
