San Diego’s top attractions are beefing up security for the holiday season and officials say they are working with law enforcement on the most effective security approach.
Officials with SeaWorld San Diego, Legoland and the San Diego Zoo all declined to specify how they are ramping up security, whether that means implementing metal detectors or checking bags.
Officials said that giving away too much information on security would defeat the cause of it.
Disneyland announced this week that it would be installing metal detectors and visitors would not be allowed to wear costumes or bring in toy guns.
Here are the statements from each of the three attractions regarding increased security:
SeaWorld: The safety of our guests and team members along with the welfare of our animals have always been our top priority. Like other major attractions and venues, we continually evaluate our existing comprehensive security plans. We are enhancing security measures at all our parks for the busy holiday season, however, we do not comment on the details of our security measures in order to maintain their effectiveness.
San Diego Zoo: San Diego Zoo Global maintains security personnel and systems on grounds at both of its parks, the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Our operations folks work closely with authorities to monitor changing situations and make adjustments as necessary. Please understand that it is our policy not to share details about the security systems we have in place as sharing this information would tend to make them less effective.

Legoland: The safety and security of our guests and employees is our highest priority. Currently we are implementing additional security measures in preparation for our busy holiday season, and we continue to work closely with law enforcement agencies and other government organizations.
