Miriam GoldmanAugust 12, 2014The best parts of the park are the parts that are the most zoologically oriented. The skyride is not to be missed.
Daytrippen.comSeptember 4, 2012Use SeaWorld's Quick Queue for express entry to popular rides and complimentary admission to Sky tower, Sky ride and Paddle Boats. Read more
Alexandria LindertSeptember 29, 2013Lots of fun but it can get pricey. Parking is $15 now! That plus drinks/ snacks adds up!
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.
KevinAugust 22, 2012The Animal Spotlight Tour was great. My kids lives feeding and petting the dolphins. I liked the moray eels.
Erin McNamaraApril 1, 2013If you only have time for one show I suggest the shamu show. The best 25 mins of my visit!
TruthorDare.usMay 14, 2011We dare you to go see Shamu, the penguins, and turtles, follow that with a nice ride on the Journey to Atlantis, and top it off with a nice dinner at the Calypso Bay Smokehouse.
David NguyenApril 1, 2016The exhibits are definitely something you need to check out. Bathrooms are also pretty clean.
Great Amusement Park For Family And Friends !! Cool Shows also !!
Audrey LewisJune 21, 2013Sealions Live is hilarious!!! My favorite show! Get there early and watch Biff perform a preshow!!!
Marcus HenryMay 11, 2013Beer samples at entrance food court make daddy happy. Don't drink the penguin water.
- 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. :)
mizz linJune 15, 2016Stroke a shark on its back . They are in the touch pools and I personally found that awesome
Complete Car CareSeptember 10, 2016The Dolphins show was spectacular and the Arctic section was very interesting
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
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.
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.
Jesus OntiverosAugust 3, 2013Best place to eat n pang for ur buck "baja grill". Get the loaded nachos !!!;)
Malloc SizeofMarch 4, 2012If you plan on coming here at least 4 times, get a Silver Annual Pass. Otherwise, parking fees here will make you wish you did.
LamaJuly 12, 2019Amazing roller coasters but they need to improve their shows. The food is expensive !
Rose GarciaJuly 19, 2014The Polar Bear, the Wild Arctic and Cirque de la Mer were the best of my today's visit
If you want to go to the shows, look at the schedule in the morning and make a plan. Many showtimes overlap!
Scott DunhamDecember 26, 2013So conflicted. Could be amazing but keeping Orcas, Dolphins and Whales in a small tank is just cruel. Free Willy (and all the rest)
Scott RisingMarch 18, 2011Feeding the sea lions is fun, but watch out because the neighboring seagulls are aggressive and will snatch the fish right out of your hand.
La Jolla MomMay 16, 2013We go right at opening to avoid the crowds. And, hallelujah, they sell beer.
I have a season pass for SeaWorld and it is nice to drop in anytime when less crowded~
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.
Michael FriedrichApril 30, 2017While it is fascinating to see animals, the money making with them and their living conditions are horrible. Never saw that before, and won't go there again.
Lizeth GarciaMay 24, 2016Love coming here with the family. For the little ones Bay of Play is awesome!
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.
Eric LambertAugust 16, 2012Manta ride very good. My 9 year old daughter really enjoyed the shows and Dolphin Point.
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
Throw away your straws and lids before coming in, be kind to the animals! Park policy :)
Use the SeaWorld app to see the wait times for rides when in the park.
Holly W.February 28, 2012I don't know if I would pay the money to go too many times, but def. feel it is worth going at least once. Plus, you support the sea animals.
NikNat FerPerAugust 29, 2010Get the all you can eat all day bracelet! It is so completely worth not having to worry about the cost of food if you're eating all day!
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.
- Bob VreelandNovember 24, 2013They have Stone and Karl Strauss throughout the park :) Keep the pilsner glass for 6.99 refills!
Autumn GaxiolaApril 28, 2018Great food and all day dining deal saves lots of money! We always have a blast!
Brooke JorgensenJuly 24, 2010Shipwreck ride gets you partially wet, Atlantis gets you Soaked! Also, if you're flirty with the popcorn stand boys (by Shipwreck) you can get a refill price.
Steve YuiDecember 30, 2012When watching Shamu, trust the signs that say "Soak Zone". You will get wet. Get there early for better seating.
