My toddler LOVED Sea World! We went as part of a family trip and it was a blast! Make sure to check the weather to plan accordingly and remain flexible. I HIGHLY recommend the passes. I will be paying for a Platinum Pass; it has proven it's usefulness already. There are areas that Pass Members don't have to wait in as long of a line and the discounts given are incredible, not to mention nifty. The kids enjoyed the shows and seeing their happiness was worth all the walking and standing and lugging of items. Now, that being said, souvenirs, food, etc, are super expensive (hence I recommend the Passes)! I would have given Sea World 5 stars but I took issue that we bought the reserved seating so the family could stay together and skip ques but we had to wait with everyone else and the reserved section wasn't all that great. Also, we weren't asked to show to most shows our reserved seats cards so it was money we felt we shouldn't have had to pay. They used to allow you to take snacks but policy changed days before our trip and we didn't know so we had to throw a lot of snacks and drinks (except water) at the entrance or else have to take to our cars and get back in line. Overall, it's a trip definitely needs planning, expect big expenses, take extra clothing because you'll get wet, comfy shoes for lots of walking, and take advantage of the offers that are offered.

We went for a day of fun with the family and it did not disappoint. Great shows and little to no wait for roller coasters. We also purchased the food pass and it was a life saver!
The park was very clean and well maintained. Every staff member was very pleasant.
The only downfall we had was no AC at the smokehouse and the very young manager didn't know how to properly handle the register. However, she was very nice. To many pluses not to give this place all 5 stars!

I went with my wife, daughter, and granddaughter on complimentary tickets because I am a Veteran of the U.S. Navy. Thanks to Sea World for the generous offer for the free admission. I wish there were ways to rate the park's different areas, instead of 1-5 stars. The gift shops are incredible, once you understand that a good amount of the profits go towards marine life rehabilitation and rescue, I do not mind the inflated prices as much. Parking at $25.00 is incredibly high, considering how narrow the lanes are and the spots as well. I expected to see more animal exhibits. Other than the Penguins (which is really cool, physically too !) there was a sea lion show that we missed due to timing, And the majority of the other marine life on display was to the immediate left as soon as you get to the park, before you even ENTER the park. The tanks are incredible (was hoping for larger reef exhibits) and my granddaughter enjoyed them immensely, as she did the under-water viewing for the dolphins. Her joy is what will bring me back to Sea World, regardless of ticket prices. I sincerely hope more space and some design efforts go into more tanks and reef areas for viewing, that would be a bigger draw for me in the future as well. We did not take advantage of any rides, as I am unable to ride them due to a disability. Again, I sincerely thank Sea World for allowing me to visit, I just hope if I come back there will be more fish !!

We absolutely love coming here! The Seven Seas food experience was fun, although some of the lines were long. And the shows featuring orcas, dolphins, Beluga whales, and sea lions were amazing. I am so glad that Sea World did not bow to pressure from certain groups making one-sided documentaries. I have seen firsthand how my children's love and respect for animals and the world they live in has grown exponentially through animal shows at Sea World. I am thankful for the experience.

Me and my family have been coming here for years. Now that we are able to travel again, we decided to come here. The shows are not the same anymore, they took away the Shamu name.😒 This show is not exciting anymore like it use to be. The trainers are not performing in the water with the whales🐳 anymore, which was a beautiful performance and exciting. There were not any dolphin shows with the acrobats performers either. 🤷🏽♀️ I really look forward to seeing certain shows, which I did not get this year. On the flip side, the amusement part of the park was AMAZING. I do suggest that you invest in the Quick Queue pass. It allows you to move to the front of the line without waiting. The lines were very long, so the pass was worth the extra money. We also enjoyed the Chill Bar, which allowed you to cool off from the hot sun 🌞 while enjoying an adult beverage🍸 or drinks for the kids. Once done here, you're rejuvenated to continue your time at the park.
