Seaworld is entertaining but unless you are rich, there is nothing affordable to eat or drink. Make sure to pack a lunch and drinks in your car. Food is not allowed in the park, but you can take in small snacks for the kids.

Visit during the week and early in the summer. We visited on a Tuesday and the park wasn’t crowded. We were able to get good seats at every single show and the longest wait for a ride was 7 minutes. Plus it wasn’t blazing hot yet. The temperature topped out at 87 degrees. The nice temp allowed us to stay at the park from open to almost closing time. Aquatica and Discovery Point close at 6, so I would save all of the rides for later in the evening.

Went on a Sunday in June and hardly had any lines and could sit where we wanted in shows. The Discovery Point was a highlight with dolphins, otters and seals so close and interactive. At first, I didn’t think we could go in since that’s how the one in Florida is. The dolphins would pull themselves up on the ledge showing off their new tricks. Couldn’t find the beluga or whale viewing. Just did a few rides- Atlantis and River one. Was disappointed the river one didn’t have any drops. The shows were fabulous. Plan to be drenched at the whale one if in the soak zone. The orca flipped its tail at as and left us gasping for air after 3 in a row- 100% drenched. Appreciated the free ice water at the concessions because of the heat.

Visited SeaWorld on a chilly and windy November day close to Thanksgiving. We reached right at 1 pm which is when they open, so lots of parking spots were available. The area is huge, we were there for 5 hrs and still we did not cover everything, so be prepared to spend 6-7 hrs if you want to do everything. I took the "quick queue" ticket, which helped us to jump the queues and get reserved seating at the sea lion show, so that is preferable. Pls make sure that you take the map as soon as you enter so that you plan the show time as per your choice since the stadiums are at some good distance from each other. Rest rooms, gift centers and eateries are conveniently located but be ready to walk 4-5 miles easily while covering the SeaWorld. Some of the rides will shake you (in a good way), the sea lion show and dolphin interaction were the highlights of our visit! Must visit with your young kids, you will be happy with yourself after the visit😃

Seaworld has a great Christmas display and programs. Lots of beautiful lights and Christmas characters in the evening for the children. For little ones, there is the Sesame street area with about 5 rides and character shows a few times a day. There are roller coasters for older kids and adults. If you are there for sea life, the best area is Discovery Point with the dolphins and aquarium. Be sure to search for the readily available discounts for admission.

This is the third SeaWorld I have been to and it maintains an operation that one would expect from SeaWorld. The animal shows never get old (with the exception of the sea lion and otter show, which tries too hard to be funny and comes across as rather lame). There are a variety of rides of various thrill-levels. There are opportunities for feeding animals and a number of options for getting more up-close with animals for those who want to pay the additional fees. I would not recommend paying for the VIP parking or the covered parking unless walking is really an issue for you; the regular parking is expensive enough, and if you arrive at the right time you can get pretty close to the VIP area anyway.

Grandparents, parents, teens and tweens thoroughly enjoyed the day full of rides, food, and sea mammals. Bring your walking shoes and wallet. Get a cart for the young ones and an ECV for the older ones. This park is huge. Kudos to the staff at the dolphin exhibition for the best entertainment of the day.

I love Seaworld Orlando so I couldn’t wait to visit this one. I knew going in reviews said it was smaller but guess I was expecting more. The tortoise, penguin, alligator exhibits so small. I wish they’d put how long the stadium shows lasted on the map so we could have planned better. Orca show was amazing and it lasted 30 minutes. Dolphin show was ok, only 15 minutes. We didn’t get to see the sea lion/otter show due to time. I was hoping to at-least see a walrus or manatee somewhere. Guess you have to make the show to see a sea lion or otter too. Food is so expensive! $19.99 for burger and fries!?! I hope most of it’s helping pay to take care of the animals! Coasters are fun but didn’t get on many due to lines and not wanting to spend extra for the fast pass. We had to leave the water ride after waiting in line for 30 minutes due to “technical difficulties.” It was a very expensive day for a family of 4 to see minimal animals, 2 shows and ride 2 rides. I’m going back to Florida next time I visit a SeaWorld.

While not as well known as its Florida and California namesakes, this park is every bit as enjoyable. Located on the Northwestern suburbs of San Antoni, it is surrounded by other parks and a good selection of hotels. It easily accessed, with plenty of parking. Entrance is streamlined (although pricy!) There are rides for all ages and the animal shows are wonderful! To see the smiles on the faces of all the kids is just great. This is a great way to spend a day in San Antonio, and a welcome change from historical monuments and the Rivverwalk,
