Pros: Pros: 50% off entrance fee for the disabled and one accompanying adult
Cons: long wait to check your bags at entrance; personnel wanting to take photos
For two days over the spring break of 2005 I took my two autistic kids to Sea World. The first day happened to be my oldest son’s tenth birthday, which is a key age to note when paying entrance fees for Sea World San Diego. Children are defined ...
Pros: Lots of interactive exhibits, beautiful landscaping Cons: Few rides, expensive for what it is
We visited Seaworld in San Diego during Christmas Vacation week 2004. I wasn't sure quite what to expect when we arrived. The approach to the park and the parking lot looked a lot like a theme park. Even the $8 parking charge resembled a theme park. ...
It’s a pity I had to wait until I was in my forties to visit Sea World . As a little girl all my wildest dreams would have been fulfilled, imagine being able to interact with killer whales, see polar bear and walrus, manatee and...
My friend's mom was in town from New York. She had visited Sea World San Diego in 1967 and wanted to see how it had changed. They invited me along for the experience. Seeing that I was not back in school yet, and I am biologist so I think seeing any type ...
After weeks of anticipation and my son asking me, " Are we going to see the whales today?", we finally arrive at Sea World. Parking fees were in line with most other amusement parks and thanks to our California resident status we paid $30 per...
Pros: It is really a lot of fun!! A lot to see and do! Cons: It can be pricey
Around the end of March, we went to Sea World here in San Diego for the first time. Sea World was offering a “Fun Card” for only $41.95 for adults and $31.95 for children. Basically the pass allows the holder to pay for the price of a one day...
Pros: You get to enjoy the park like you would on any other day. Cons: The Halloween event was not a Halloween event.
My family attended the Sea World Halloween event on October 29, 2006. According to Sea World's website children could dress up in their costumes and Trick or Treat at the various merchants throughout the park. The event was also supposed to be for ...
Pros: Visit and Feed Animals, Get a private tour Guide, No waiting in lines!!! Cons: can be a little expensive, Books up quickly
I had always wondered what sea world would be like? I love animals so when we decided to travel from NY to San Diego for a weekend my one request was that we go to sea world and visit Shamu! When we decided to go I visited Sea World's website. ...
Pros: shows, sharks, and many more! Cons: a little expensive, especially if you have a big family!
On the third day of our 5-day trip to San Diego, we went to Sea World California. The ticket price for an adult is amazing, $40 per person. My daughter was able to get in for free because she is under three. Since we just went to the San Diego Zoo the...
Pros: fun, educational, beautiful grounds & easy access Cons: none that I can think of
As a one time resident of beautiful San Diego for 9 years, I spent many days & summer nights at Sea World. I had an annual pass for most of the time I lived there. I am a big fan of marine life & Sea World always kept me in touch with it. ;o) ...
There is just something about training a fish to perform that is so.....
...California. In the great Disney tradition of squirrelly mice and bird-brained dogs, Sea World had cast the otherwise marginal marines into Ziegfeld's Fish Follies,...
Pros: We really enjoyed our whole experience here, defiantly great for everyone. Cons: The park is spread out so you defiantly get exercise.
Sea World here we come! My husbands side of the family decided that we needed to take a “family vacation” we all settled on California to be our destination. I researched ticket prices and hotels for two months before we left. With a family of ...
Pros: Brings you incredibly close to breathtaking animals which you may never see anywhere else. Cons: I really wish that touching killer whales was an option. But, you CAN pet dolphins.
Sea World seems to have made some changes since the other reviews were written. Since we just got back from a week long stay in San Diego, I thought I'd give my views on this fantastic park. For me, just seeing an orca leap into the air, or hearing ...
Pros: Awesome attractions, beautiful animals, and an all around good time. Cons: Sunburn! Expensive food.
Okay, this is going to be the most complete and fun review I have ever written. Sea World in San Diego is truly my favorite place in the world. I always feel so enchanted as soon as I walk through the admission gates. I never get to see all the...
Pros: Everything I love just about everything about the park. Cons: Nothing I could find.
SeaWorld San Diego is the best sea park I have ever been to. They have the best killer whale show, the most sea animals I have ever seen and even a few rides. On my last trip to San Diego I finally talked myself into going to SeaWorld and I was glad that ...
Pros: Fun for the whole family, hands on exhibits, great shows Cons: Show schedule doesn't change much, food is merely adequate and rather expensive
Yep, being a San Diego native is nice! It becomes cost effective to put out the $75/adult or $65/kids to buy yearly passes. That way, during the summer, you and the kids can go almost EVERY DAY, if just to play at Shamu's Happy Harbor, which is a...
Pros: Learning about sea life, fun rides and shows Cons: Cost, sometimes too many people
Sea World is just about at the extreme western end of San Diego, and slightly to the north, in the Mission Bay area. For those of you who don't live here that doesn't mean much, but it puts Sea World right out on the water so that the Bay Watch show is...
One of the greatest things about living in San Diego is being close to Sea World. San Diego's most popular and most visited attraction. Located in Beautiful Mission Bay.
This is defiantely an all day sort of trip. People of all ages can...
Pros: Good value for money as it offers a full day of entertainment. Incredible shows Cons: Questions on the value of having animals perform for people
I have visited marine parks in the past, and as I entered Sea World, it appeared to be no more and no less exciting than the ones I have seen previously. It is the shows that make this place something beyond spectacular. One can not help but to watch...
I went to Sea World when my parents came out to visit me on my tour at Camp Pendleton, California. We wanted a place to go where there weren't too many roller coasters, and you could just sit back relax and enjoy the show....
Pros: teach children about conservation of our oceans Cons: unnatural habitat for wildlife/cruel to wildlife
Sea World California has a mixed reputation amongst environmentalists. Its sea life rescue mission is admirable. And, the goal of education and respect for our ocean buddies is useful. But, there are many issues surrounding the imprisonment of...
Pros: Fun attractions, excellent insider tour Cons: Expensive entry and parking fees
We were 2 adults visiting San Diego and looking for some fun. After a lukewarm impression of the San Diego Zoo, we woke up bright and early the next day and headed to Sea World. We had an AMAZING time and I cannot recommend this park enough. Believe me,...
Pros: Great new attractions Cons: Expensive without discounts
I went to Sea World for the first time in probably 15 years and had a great time!
Although I didn't have any kids with me, I did take another adult and we were both surprised at the radical changes the park has undergone since we were last...
If you love the water and you love animals, this park is for you. I am amazed by all the incredible shows these animals perform. I find it hard to leave Sea World when I am there.
The best thing in the world, I think, is petting the animals....
Pros: friendly and relaxing Cons: only 4 nation wide
Sea World is a refreshing and unique amusement park experience. Where else can people be entertained, AND educated at the same time? Not to mention that these parks are some of the only chances most Americans will have to see beautiful animals like...
It has a lot to offer a family from shows to shops and an helicopter ride (a virtual ride). Make sure you go to the Motion ride, it has wonderful scenery and you feel like you are in the helicopter with the pilot. The sights were breathtaking. The...
Pros: Superb location, the shows are very entertaining. Cons: Employees are not courteous and the food service is terrible.
After a seven year absence, my family of four returned to Sea World for a long-awaited day of relaxation. We were prepared for the Disney-like admission price of $154 (with a 10% AAA discount). What we were not prepared for was being asked to pay an...
Pros: The up close experience and personal whale insight. Cons: Chance to get splashed.
If you plan to go to SeaWorld, you do NOT want to miss out on having a family/friends dinner WITH Shamu. It is such a wonderful experience! My best friend came to visit from England and she absolutely loves the sea mammals where as to me, personally I ...
Usually San Diego is known for great food, beaches, and sun, but on our recent visit we were greeted with a rainfall that would rival anything in our native Seattle. Undaunted, we visited the world famous Sea World for an afternoon of fantastic ...
Pros: A place full of wonders! Cons: Pricey...but well worth it !
Have you ever had the opportunity to watch a 2 year old child when he has discovered something new and fascinating ?? If you ever do get the chance....don't pass it up!!
The day we took our 2 year old grandson to Seaworld was one of the most...
Pros: Exhibits, landscaping, animals, just about everything! Cons: Price, strollers EVERYWHERE.
Anheuser-Busch should be extremely proud of themselves for the job they have done with parks like Sea World and others such as Busch Gardens. This park is really one to raise the bar for what other parks should be. This Sea World is actually one of...
Pros: beautiful facility, clean, nice variety of things to see and do Cons: food very expensive, animals you can feed are beggars.
We went to LA for a week of sightseeing and had fun, but were ready to get out by the 5th day, so we cruised down the 405 to San Diego to see Sea World. My kids are 19 and 12, to give you an idea, and originally we ruled out theme parks, as we are in...
Pros: The sea life animals and their shows! Cons: None.
Sea World in San Diego California is a perfect place to take your children to. This is a very edcuational park and it teaches the children alot about sea life animals. This place has alot of other sea life animals besides just fish. They have pelicans...
Pros: Great entertainment for the whole Family!! Cons: Just a little pricey
" I Love this Place Mommy"..... "Daddy, this place is sooo cool!" These are some of the few things that we heard our 6 year old say skipping to the next exhibit or show when we went to Sea World in San Diego, California In January...
Pros: Entertainment, up close views of the animals Cons: None
The beautiful San Diego weather, countless entertainment possibilities, and free beer? What more could you ask for? I went to Sea World with my boyfriend at the time, and we played like kids all day long. (except for the beer drinking part, but I'll...
Pros: fun rides, terrific shows, nice displays Cons: malfunction on one of the rides
Today was the first time that I went to San Diego's Sea World and I enjoyed it so much.
As a foreigner, this was my first to visit such entertainment places. It was so fun watching the dolphin show, Shamu the Killer Whale and those adorable...
Last summer we took the kids to Sea World in San Diego. The really cool thing was the kids got to see the animals and in some places were even allowed to pet them. My son particularly liked petting the baby sharks.
Pros: Very fun and family oriented and a nice day out Cons: Cost
As some of you already know I lived in San Diego many years. I never out grew Sea World! It's a day trip and bring your sun screen. The park itself sits on the Mission Bay.
During the summer they have shows on the bay with different types...
Pros: cute animals Cons: all the animals are imprisoned
I don't think they change the shows at this place. Seeing Shamu splash water and the otters having a mystery adventure is only good as a one time event.
I have been to Sea World three times in my life. Twice when I was younger and once as an...
Pros: clean caring full-of-exhibits manatees! live events charm Cons: you simply cannot do it all in any one day!
Ever seen a diver launched from the nose of a breaching whale, close up and personal? Go to Sea World -- but plan to make the experience more than a single day! There is more to be seen and experienced than you could possibly enjoy in a...
Pros: wow, this place is fantastic Cons: not as many attractions as I'd hoped.
Is Shamu the biggest celebrity in SD? sheesh. These Shamu's(10 the day we were there) really do put on a great show,and for us it was well worth the expense and wait. But it's the rest of the exhibits that shine! pet and feed a dolphin? my kid absolutely...
Pros: great for kids, fun show overall and lots of learning Cons: pricey, crowded, long lines
Seaworld turned out to be one of my favorite attractions in San Diego (second only to Balboa Park). The show is good and fast paced. Kids absolutely love it! They had the funniest Charley Chaplin imitator working the crowd when we went. He almost stole...
Pros: A very natural environment Cons: might be a little hot-wear sun screen! Seriously!
I visited Sea World this past summer and it is the fondest memory I have of San Diego. Being from Colorado, the sea and the life in it is quite foreign to my family and I. Also, I've been to many amusement parks and endless zoo's around the...
This park has got to be the most boring park I have been to, ever. All they have there are shows. All day long we went to shows. Bird shows, dog shows, different bird show, Shamo its all the same. Not to mention about everyone of them had a plant in...
Pros: The memories, The Facts, Interesting Things To Do Cons: Too far, too much money
Man, it's been about 15 years since i've been to san diego and sea world. I remember when i went there last time, they had like 3 shows there and an aquarium. That was about it. I keep seeing previews on television about all these new attractions and...
Pros: Animal Exhibits Cons: Pricey for what you get in return!
Children (UNDER 16) should be seen not heard!
Went there 06/22/07 at about 1400 as 2 adults:
$10 parking after paying $114 for 2 days worth of "adventure?" WTF?
Sharks in a plastic tube.....sux,
Walrus exhibit, same as 25 yrs ago,
Shamu & Dolphin show, cool, but the added "glitz" takes away from the performances. Want to see whales & dolphins and not a guitar crooner or "pumped up whale boys" with a wooden fin pendant.
Food good, park clean, A/B horses & donkeys are ab fab!
Really sad attempt to draw in visitors.......
We learned a lesson...........
Oh, as an aside: Despite signage, parents let their 'little ones' run amock, totally screwing up the experience!
Not a "kiddie park." More suited for adults.
