Jonas KöpkeSeptember 29, 2013Mixed feelings about that place. The shows are great and it's a wonderland for kids but after all it's still animals for amusement...
My wife and I think they have the best popcorn around. Get the bucket and bring it back anytime for a refill for about $2.
Robert SmithAugust 9, 2014The shows are very entertaining. Don't waste your time on the Manta if the line's long, Journey to Atlantis is pretty fun, and also, BRING FAST FOOD. The food is SO overpriced. 6.99 for 4 fried shrimp
HISTORYApril 21, 2010SeaWorld was founded in 1964 on 22 acres by four graduates of UCLA. Their original idea was to build an underwater restaurant. The park grew into a marine park now spanning 189 acres.
It's kind of small but perfect for kids, they'll have a lot of fun!
Marcus HenryMay 11, 2013Beer samples at entrance food court make daddy happy. Don't drink the penguin water.
Great Amusement Park For Family And Friends !! Cool Shows also !!
Nick CollinsAugust 20, 2011You can watch the fireworks from anywhere around Crown Point Shores or Sail Bay, an added bonus (and a built-in clock) to all the residents who live there.
Keep your eye open for the sea world characters (shamu, o.p. other, etc.). And remember they can sign autographs and you can take your own photos. Or just come up for a hug.
mizz linJune 15, 2016Stroke a shark on its back . They are in the touch pools and I personally found that awesome
Awesome place to visit in the tourist low season. We saw nearly every show and exhibit at our own (relaxed) pace with our 5 y.o. nephew and we did it all in around 5 hours. Plus, the free annual pass
Christina HyunJung JungFebruary 23, 2015Best theme park!!!!!!! I want to go again..... ice cream and pretzel are awesome.
Robin BattyJuly 23, 2011Get an all day eat pass for $30 but only get one for your party! You can go back as many times as you want for as much food as you want!
Robert DwyerFebruary 21, 201320% off 1-day adult and child tickets with Southwest Rapid Rewards. Best 1-day discount going, alive and well as of Feb 2013.
Jeff LongleyNovember 16, 2013The Sharks look very friendly and in a giving mood this time of year. It's sweet as a blood tasting. LoL
Melanee ThysJune 1, 2013It was so fun in the afternoon, the animals were active abs the Cirque De La Mar show was spectacular!
David NguyenApril 1, 2016The exhibits are definitely something you need to check out. Bathrooms are also pretty clean.
steve overstreetAugust 26, 2014The meal wrist bands are a good deal but to make them really worth your money be sure to have at least 2 meals.
Autumn GaxiolaApril 28, 2018Great food and all day dining deal saves lots of money! We always have a blast!
Complete Car CareSeptember 10, 2016The Dolphins show was spectacular and the Arctic section was very interesting
Erin McNamaraApril 1, 2013If you only have time for one show I suggest the shamu show. The best 25 mins of my visit!
Em AldrichAugust 10, 2010Pack a lunch and leave it in the car. You are allowed to leave the park and re-enter with a stamp. This will save some money on paying those crazy park prices.
Lizeth GarciaMay 24, 2016Love coming here with the family. For the little ones Bay of Play is awesome!
Jim llewellynAugust 5, 2011Buy the all you can eat dinner meal deal $24 you can eat a much as you like and as often in the 4 restaurants as long as you get back in line
Drew KaplanOctober 14, 2012When @SeaWorld holds their "Halloween Spooktacular", they have stations where they pass out candy to children. It's awesome!
Tina NJune 16, 2013Gotta love seaworld but admission is getting a bit to high ill say. But I love everything about sea life! Go bat rays! :p
LamaJuly 12, 2019Amazing roller coasters but they need to improve their shows. The food is expensive !
Wear comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, & a hat. Buy a SeaWorld cup get discounts on refills. Members receive discounts on food, beverages, & @ gift shops.
Alexandria LindertSeptember 29, 2013Lots of fun but it can get pricey. Parking is $15 now! That plus drinks/ snacks adds up!
I have a season pass for SeaWorld and it is nice to drop in anytime when less crowded~
SarahMarch 26, 2013Also, they are very un accommodating to the customers needs. No one wants to wait in a mile line for a marginal hot dog. They need to open more windows in order to get more customers!
Steve YuiDecember 30, 2012When watching Shamu, trust the signs that say "Soak Zone". You will get wet. Get there early for better seating.
- Hilton GaslampAugust 9, 2011Love the new One Ocean Shamu show and the new penguin encounter! We sell tickets in our lobby too in case you are staying with us. :)
Luis RuizAugust 20, 2014Make sure to see Shamu early, if you're planning on getting wet that day. Plenty of time to dry off.
Victoria CouchAugust 22, 2012You're day will be way more enjoyable with the ALL DAY DINING PASS. Its way cheaper for the day and very convenient.
KevinAugust 22, 2012The Animal Spotlight Tour was great. My kids lives feeding and petting the dolphins. I liked the moray eels.- Bob VreelandNovember 24, 2013They have Stone and Karl Strauss throughout the park :) Keep the pilsner glass for 6.99 refills!
Use the SeaWorld app to see the wait times for rides when in the park.
Luciano RochaSeptember 21, 2018Some good rides. But most of the rides where not running. Some where planned, while a couple just happened early in the day.
Rose GarciaJuly 19, 2014The Polar Bear, the Wild Arctic and Cirque de la Mer were the best of my today's visit
Eric LambertAugust 16, 2012Manta ride very good. My 9 year old daughter really enjoyed the shows and Dolphin Point.
