The city of San Diego and SeaWorld have settled their lawsuit in which city officials alleged the park failed to pay more than $12.2 million in rent, late fees and interest.
— Complimentary season passes to San Diego teachers on an annual basis for five years;— 1,000 SeaWorld admission tickets that the city will provide to local school districts.
SeaWorld issued a statement on Tuesday that read,"We are grateful to have reached a resolution of this matter and look forward to continuing our strong partnership with the city of San Diego for years to come. We've valued our collaborative relationship with the City for 60 years and are happy to be a part of the San Diego community. We look forward to many years of working together.
In its lawsuit, the city alleged that SeaWorld underpaid rent between Jan. 1, 2019, and April 30, 2022, while SeaWorld argued the payments were waived because the theme park was forced to shut down for months at a time during the coronavirus pandemic. After the lawsuit was filed last year, city officials said the park was the only one out of 800 city tenants with similar lease agreements in default for unpaid rent since the pandemic began.
