"Horrible..."
DO NOT PAY FOR THE SEA LION TOUR. I would give it no stars, but that was not an option. Save your money because you will not be up-close with a sea lion like the title and the picture suggest. First, you go to Pacific Point Preserve and they tell you the difference between a sea lion and a seal; which can be read on the signs around the exhibit. Next, you go to where the “Clyde & Seamore” show takes place. You are asked to sit in the first two rows and then are quickly taken up to the tank, a group at the time to have your picture quickly taken. You are not allow to look at the sea lion (you keep your back towards him) and have to take a large step forward before you can walk back to your seats. Then you head back to Pacific Point Preserve where you are given a bucket of fish to feed them with everyone else. Just save your money and get to the show early to sit in the first two rows and spend $20 and get five trays of fish to feed the seals/sea lions at Pacific Point Preserve for the same experience.

"Sea World-a world of fun!"
We traveled to Florida for our first family vacation. Our son was 4 months ols so we didn't think Disney would be worth the cost but wanted to do something fun. Sea World it was! We decided to purchase a 2 day deal since we wanted the option of going back and it was so worth it! We didn't feel rushed to see everything in one day and when we got tired we left. Sea World had so many fun things to do and see! Obviously it was more for my husband and I but we had a great time. Some highlights were feeding the dolphins (which costs extra but is cool), the penguin exhibit, polar bears, and of course the various shows. Great family vacation spot!

"Great Family Time! Money Saver!"
Sea World is really great for an all day fun. There is a lot to see, especially the shows that it takes time to go through everything. You can save on the florida residents deals and last time I checked if you go one day you can get another day free but you have to check it out and see what deals are running. Overall its fun for the kids and adults. I personally like the shows! God Bless You!

"So Expensive!"
There is a lot to see here, however it's all features you need to sit down (and be still) to enjoy. I found myself becoming impatient with the toddler and had to remind myself that a two-year old can't possibly sit still all day and go from show to show. I can't believe how expensive it has become!

"Fascinating for the Kids"
We have been visiting SeaWorld for years. Our daughter is always captivated, especially at the Killer whale show and the dolphin show. My husband and I have grown increasingly disappointed in how entertainment focused it has become. SeaWorld used to strive to educate their guests, but that seems to have taken a back seat to the "flashiness." It is also incredibly expensive now!

"Just plain awesome!"
Sea World is one of the best parks in Orlando. There are so many amazing animals on display. The shows are just fantastic, especially Shamu. There is a HUGE play area for the kids. Tons of things to climb on, slide down, crawl through & they can even get wet! There are some pretty scary coasters for the thrill seeks, and Journey to Atlantis is a little more mild. Delicious food & beer, and great shops complete the experience!

"Sea World "
I think that the best thing about Sea World is Shamu.The park has attractions,but mostly sit in your seat attractions. Alway be 30 to 45 minutes early to see shamo especially of you want to be in the splash zone.This park gets hot during the summer days.So remember to bring lots of water since there is not much shade

"amazing"
This park is absolutely amazing! The sea lion show is hilarious. The kids loved it! The dolphin touch area was also a favorite for our family. That was an experience the kids will not soon forget. The rides are great and there's a fun play area for kids. We will go again when we're in FL again.

"Sea the World!"
My family adores Sea World! The entire day can be spent interacting with something or some beautiful animal and not always in a long line. This park is an all in one zoo, rides, and playground place! We always spend the entire day and night there till they close and we have season passes. We live in Orlando, and this is our favorite park!

"Fun but expensive"
I went here many years ago when I was dating my husband. This was such a great show with the dolphins. Be prepared to get wet if you sit in the first couple of rows. But that will be refreshing in the hot Florida sun. The dolphins were just so cute and the trainerscare so talented. Great show.

"Enjoyable Maritime!"
Just want to dedicate this review to my late dad who I miss so much.
Anyway, that saying, I really like Seaworld. Seaworld was the first amusement park we went to as family when we moved to florida over 20 years ago (I was a teen). I always enjoy learning about sea creatures and Seaworld is a good place for that. There are many LARGE aquariums here and of course, the famous live shows. You never feel you are 'rushed' here unlike Disneyworld wherein you have the strong urge to see everything quickly before the day ends. Nope, not here! Shows are scheduled every few hours and the park isn't grossly massive and crowded as EPCOT is. I feel everyone will enjoy intimate family time here so much more than Disney.
My dad loved Shamu splashing water on two meddlesome kids who were teasing Shamu through his clear glass aquarium. This occured while there was no show yet. It was pretty funny to watch cause the kids never stopped until they were soaked. A+++ for all ages for sure.
One of my fondest memories are here in Seaworld Orlando. :,,,)

"Great trip, but pricey!"
Sea World is a great place to go while you are in Florida, however, like any other park it is quite expensive. It's a great park for younger children that don't like the rides since there aren't many of them there. The dolphin shows are always awesome! Pick a week-day so it's not so busy!

"Watery Fishy Fun"
Sea World is a great place to take kids of any age. The little ones will delight at seeing all the fish and the older ones will love the roller coasters. It's a win-win situation for any family. The shows are amazing, funny and watery (the splash zones are clearly marked). There is a dedicated area for kids at Shamu's Happy Harbor with height appropriate rides (including a small rollar coaster!). They can even feed animals at Sea World. Tons of stuff to do for everyone here. You will not be disappointed in visiting this spot!

"We love this place."
We have been to Sea World only twice and we just love it. It is so entertaining. There is rides, exhibits, hands on activities, and shows!!! We love watching the shows. They are amazing. The Manta was closed when we went but the other coaster was a lot of fun as well. We rode it several times in a row, as it wasn't crowded when we went. We went down the Atlantis Water ride...if you want to get wet, sit in the front...we were drenched from head to toe. The back doesn't get nearly as wet. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. Feeding the dolphins was probably my favorite thing to do that day. It is so awesome to get that close to a dolphin and have him eat out of your hand. Awesome!!!

"Great Summer Vacation!"
SeaWorld is the perfect place to visit in the heat of the summer. My suggestion is to watch the shows in the SplashZone for the sake of the kids traveling with you. They will love watching the dolphins and whales swim by and splash everyone on the first few rows. It's amazing to see how the animals interact with their trainers!

"Sea World"
We absolutely love Sea World. Anywhere that will support our military gets a thumbs up from us. We have attended several years in a row due to the fact that they have offered military gets in free. It is such a wonderful experience. They offer several different activities for the whole family. You can pet the animals, ride the rides, shop, eat, attend shows and relax while the kids play in the kids area. Don't go to Sea World without watching a few shows. Some our favorites were the Sea Lion Show, the dolphin show and a must see the Shamu Show.This is the killer whale show where the trained whales swim and do tricks with the trainers. It is amazing to see that some of the biggest animals in the world do what they do during the show. I would see the Shamu show during the day and go back for the night show. I would definitely plan to stay all day so that you can include everything.

"Lots to See!"
This is a really great park to visit if you're ever planning a trip to Orlando! All of the shows really are amazing. The most famous being Shamu, of course, but it really is worth it to watch. (The hype is all there for a reason!) It's a very HOT visit in the summertime, but if you watch the water events there are "Splash Zones" to sit in and get nice and wet for a brief cool-down.

"Fun for all"
We visited Sea World over Christmas and had so much fun. The shows are amazing. Make sure you see them all. My kids favorites were Pets Ahoy! and Clyde and Seymour. Those are my favorite too. :) The Shamu show is great, although it has really been toned down a bit in the last year for the safety of the trainers. The play area is fun for the kids too. In my opinion the shows are the main part of Sea World. You can also feed dolphins for $7 or feed sea lions for $5. Just be prepared to get your hands fishy. The sea lions are fun to feed, but if you feed the dolphins you can pet them at the same time. However be prepared to wait in a long line to feed the dolphins. Overall Sea World is great, you won't be disappointed.

"We love SeaWorld at Christmas"
We love SeaWorld and have annual passes each year! However, our absolute favorite time is during the holidays. The decorations are gorgeous! The shows are awesome! The shows are unique! We truly love it!!
SeaWorld throughout the rest of the year is an awesome experience as well. It is well worth the price. I also think it is great that the Florida resident deal is affordable. I know we will continue to get SeaWorld passes over other theme park passes because they seem to be more family friendly when it comes to finances.

"Shamoo show was our favorite"
There is an underwater viewing tank for the dolphins, and it is enormous. The Shamoo show teaches a few things about Orca whales, and is a fun time, getting the kids involved in the shamoo chant/dance. Make sure to bring sunscreen, since most of the park is outdoors/exposed to the hot Florida sun.
