You can see shamu's show, and some other live animal shows as well, has some rides and mechanical games, it has restaurants, food court, souvenir store, a place excellent for children and adults too

Overall a great place to take your family. If you go in December like we did, bring an umbrella and jackets. Also, change of clothes/towels for the kids, you get soaked from certain rides/shows.

A great theme park that let's you be up close with marine life. The shows are great for all ages and the park is truly beautiful. Come off season to have the park all to yourself. Craft Beer on site.

I love my Gold Pass, I don't pull my wallet out, even to enter. If I don't see everything, there is always time to come back another day. The Local Brewery garden is really great this month.

The best deal is the Preferred Seating upgrade. Not well advertised, but it's only $10 - and makes it so you can basically get last minute great seats at any of the shows. A real time saver!

This place gets a bad rep. I came here as a little boy & just returned for my second time with my girlfriend for our anniversary. You can tell Sea World loves their animals! I recommend it to anyone!

If you are in san diego CA. You must visit there. You can not see such a unique place around the world. You would see a lot of fish together from different family.

Go see the Sea Lion Live (SLL) show!! Of all the great shows you can hit, this is one you can NOT miss. The trainers get really involved, the sea lions and otter are very talented, and it's funny!
Julie PorterDecember 24, 2015
We LOVE SeaWorld! Love the shows.... Make sure to go early to the sea lion show and see Biff in action--hilarious!

First time to seaworld San Diego and we were impressed. All shows were top notch it is amazing how they can get these animals to perform.Loved artic encounter with polar Bears.Great for all ages.
Chris OSeptember 15, 2014
We went in September when the park was "dead" and the shows were still almost full each time. I can't imagine how busy it is during peak times. Due to lack of crowd, could walk on rides and stay on.

We always love visiting SeaWorld. Lots of new things have been added over the last 3 years. Worth a visit if you haven't been in a while.

I love SeaWorld. This was my first time experiencing it with my own children. Things have changed, a lot. Food, prices,shows, etc...all in which have positives and negatives.

Spring for the Dine with Shamu experience- excellent food and up close to the amazing killer whales! Lots of free talks all day, too!
TalalAugust 26, 2018
I have spent a great time here. Good for families with kids.
Miriam GoldmanJuly 29, 2017
A wonderful place to travel to. Try to see as much as you can! The animals are amazing!
Lydia NormanAugust 19, 2022
Shows were good but on a weekday in the summer, paying extra for reserved seating is unnecessary. Lots of walking. My 3 year old son loved it!
Kortnee ThomasJuly 28, 2015
Love the dolphin show and the shamu show light up the night was amazing, but I miss the trainers being able to ride and swim with the orcas.
Randy BrownApril 12, 2013
Show are fun to watch but dont offer as many animal tricks as one would expect. If you can split your visit into 2 parts (shows early, rides later) your have more fun without feeling rushed.
Aryo PinanditoDecember 12, 2019
Lots of rides for kids to play. Beautiful sea-themed sceneries. Water rides are really enjoyable. Oh, they have rollercoasters too.

Buy your tickets online for discounted price 💵

Go on a weekday... Packed with tourists and strollers! $15 to park and pack snacks. You are allowed to bring in your own food. It will save you some big bucks!

I love everything in the water ! Sea world is my world !! The ride are so fun the show is so great !
Miles MacFarlaneDecember 31, 2014
Absolute soaking immediately behind the platform opposite the big screens. We were in the soak zone to the left of centre with a great view but minimal soaking.
Elizabeth KellerSeptember 30, 2013
I loved it because of all the larger sea animals we got to see up close, but I felt it was lacking an educational approach. It was more a theme park with some animals in it.
ReemAugust 19, 2019
Had a blast😍👍🏻, the shows were great especially the lion seas, the rides were also very entertaining.
Keith MantiaApril 16, 2012
If you're a Southern CA resident you can get the "Fun Card" for the same price as regular admission, but it gives you access to the park for the whole year!
Anna QuintoNovember 30, 2020
Due to covid-19 there is a lot of restrictions, no rides, no indoor shops or aquarium. We still enjoyed the animal show.. there is not much people as they are operating on limited capacity.
Jan DziedzicAugust 27, 2013
If you want to enjoy roller-coaster take a splashproof clothes with you. Dryers are not worth spending $5. Remember to go to the "One Ocean" show (killer whales) - its much better than "Blue Horizon".
Manchester Grand HyattFebruary 15, 2012
Plan your time at Seaworld so you see the animals during their feeding times - really cool and interactive. Also, beautiful Seaworld firework shows nightly during summer months!
Olga DinizMarch 10, 2013
Enjoy a nice day with your family. Watch out for the show hours and have lots of fun! Ótimo programa em família. Veja os horários dos shows, programe-se e se divirta!

This is definitely must-see place, although I personally don't like the idea to create such this places. Frankly, I find it amazing but I'm very upset for the animals.
Mesh H.SJune 18, 2015
Go on week days ,we got to ride all the rides with minimum wait time & unless you are wearing a swimming suit never ride first seats in journey to atlantic

All you can eat deal for $25! My 1 meal, entree w/side & drink came out to $18. The all you can eat deal (3 venues during the week, 5 on weekends) is a great value. Yours truly, Jubba da hut =)

They have a good military discount if you look online!

Wonderful and clean, the kids will enjoy for sure! Educational and fun at the same time.

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.

From their shows to restaurants; Sea World, San Diego is educational, and is fun for everyone. It's a must see when you are in San Diego.
Robert SmithAugust 9, 2014
The 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

It's kind of small but perfect for kids, they'll have a lot of fun!
Drew KaplanOctober 14, 2012
When @SeaWorld puts on their "Halloween Spooktacular", they have stations where they pass out candy to kids! Definitely excellent!

Bring your towels with you it's expensive here 💵

Get 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!

Everything was amazing to see in person. My family had a blast

The meal wrist bands are a good deal but to make them really worth your money be sure to have at least 2 meals.
Veronica ArmsteadJuly 3, 2017
Great time here! The all day food pass was perfect & plenty of food.
Joseph RosamondAugust 18, 2013
The sea lion shows (day and night) are by far the most entertaining shows. This is a MUST see!!
