Opened on March 21, 1964, SeaWorld San Diego was the first SeaWorld park. It was initially developed by four graduates of the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) with the aim of building an underwater restaurant. The concept grew into a 22-acre marine zoological park on the shores of Mission Bay in San Diego.
