You can see shamu's show, and some other live animal shows as well , has some rides and mechanical games, it has restaurants , food court , souvenir store , a place excellent for children and adults too

Richard Revilla

A great theme park that let's you be up close with marine life . The shows are great for all ages and the park is truly beautiful. Come off season to have the park all to yourself. Craft Beer on site.

Jay Miya

Overall a great place to take your family. If you go in December like we did, bring an umbrella and jackets . Also, change of clothes/towels for the kids, you get soaked from certain rides/shows.

I love my Gold Pass, I don't pull my wallet out, even to enter. If I don't see everything, there is always time to come back another day. The Local Brewery garden is really great this month.

Jon Menager

This place gets a bad rep. I came here as a little boy & just returned for my second time with my girlfriend for our anniversary. You can tell Sea World loves their animals! I recommend it to anyone!

Sean Miller

We always love visiting SeaWorld. Lots of new things have been added over the last 3 years. Worth a visit if you haven't been in a while.

Yener Ünsal

If you are in san diego CA. You must visit there. You can not see such a unique place around the world. You would see a lot of fish together from different family.

Courtney .

I love SeaWorld. This was my first time experiencing it with my own children. Things have changed, a lot. Food, prices,shows, etc...all in which have positives and negatives.

Mary Scheuller ッ

Go see the Sea Lion Live (SLL) show!! Of all the great shows you can hit, this is one you can NOT miss. The trainers get really involved, the sea lions and otter are very talented, and it's funny!

Hastin Zylstra

The best deal is the Preferred Seating upgrade. Not well advertised, but it's only $10 - and makes it so you can basically get last minute great seats at any of the shows. A real time saver!

Julie Porter

We LOVE SeaWorld! Love the shows.... Make sure to go early to the sea lion show and see Biff in action--hilarious!

I love everything in the water ! Sea world is my world !! The ride are so fun the show is so great !

Talal

I have spent a great time here. Good for families with kids.

Rob Vernon

Spring for the Dine with Shamu experience- excellent food and up close to the amazing killer whales! Lots of free talks all day, too!

Kortnee Thomas

Love the dolphin show and the shamu show light up the night was amazing, but I miss the trainers being able to ride and swim with the orcas.

Miriam Goldman

A wonderful place to travel to. Try to see as much as you can! The animals are amazing!

Aryo Pinandito

Lots of rides for kids to play. Beautiful sea-themed sceneries. Water rides are really enjoyable. Oh, they have rollercoasters too.

Chris O

We went in September when the park was "dead" and the shows were still almost full each time. I can't imagine how busy it is during peak times. Due to lack of crowd, could walk on rides and stay on.

Ghio Tuzara

First time to seaworld San Diego and we were impressed. All shows were top notch it is amazing how they can get these animals to perform.Loved artic encounter with polar Bears.Great for all ages.

Buy your tickets online for discounted price ????

Randy Brown

Show are fun to watch but dont offer as many animal tricks as one would expect. If you can split your visit into 2 parts (shows early, rides later) your have more fun without feeling rushed.

Lydia Norman

Shows were good but on a weekday in the summer, paying extra for reserved seating is unnecessary. Lots of walking. My 3 year old son loved it!

Olga Diniz

Enjoy a nice day with your family. Watch out for the show hours and have lots of fun! Ótimo programa em família. Veja os horários dos shows, programe-se e se divirta!

Trang Pistole

Go on a weekday... Packed with tourists and strollers! $15 to park and pack snacks . You are allowed to bring in your own food. It will save you some big bucks!

Mesh H.S

Go on week days ,we got to ride all the rides with minimum wait time & unless you are wearing a swimming suit never ride first seats in journey to atlantic

Reem

Had a blast????????????, the shows were great especially the lion seas, the rides were also very entertaining.

Manchester Grand Hyatt

Plan your time at Seaworld so you see the animals during their feeding times - really cool and interactive. Also, beautiful Seaworld firework shows nightly during summer months !

Jan Dziedzic

If you want to enjoy roller-coaster take a splashproof clothes with you. Dryers are not worth spending $5. Remember to go to the "One Ocean" show (killer whales) - its much better than "Blue Horizon".

Softub

From their shows to restaurants ; Sea World, San Diego is educational , and is fun for everyone. It's a must see when you are in San Diego.

Elizabeth Keller

I loved it because of all the larger sea animals we got to see up close, but I felt it was lacking an educational approach. It was more a theme park with some animals in it.

Drew Kaplan

When @SeaWorld puts on their "Halloween Spooktacular", they have stations where they pass out candy to kids! Definitely excellent!

Dalal Aldhobaib

Wonderful and clean , the kids will enjoy for sure! Educational and fun at the same time.

Emin DEDE

This is definitely must-see place, although I personally don't like the idea to create such this places. Frankly, I find it amazing but I'm very upset for the animals.

Miles MacFarlane

Absolute soaking immediately behind the platform opposite the big screens . We were in the soak zone to the left of centre with a great view but minimal soaking.

Keith Mantia

If you're a Southern CA resident you can get the "Fun Card" for the same price as regular admission, but it gives you access to the park for the whole year!

Anna Quinto

Due to covid-19 there is a lot of restrictions, no rides, no indoor shops or aquarium . We still enjoyed the animal show.. there is not much people as they are operating on limited capacity.

TruthorDare.us

We 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.

Ernesto Sepulveda

Everything was amazing to see in person. My family had a blast

Y R

Bring your towels with you it's expensive here ????

Miriam Goldman

The best parts of the park are the parts that are the most zoologically oriented. The skyride is not to be missed.

Audrey Lewis

Sealions Live is hilarious!!! My favorite show! Get there early and watch Biff perform a preshow!!!

Nikki Cawley

They have a good military discount if you look online!

Maria Pflugradt

This is an amazing place. I am so glad I went.

Scott Dunham

So conflicted. Could be amazing but keeping Orcas, Dolphins and Whales in a small tank is just cruel. Free Willy (and all the rest)

Jonas Köpke

Mixed feelings about that place. The shows are great and it's a wonderland for kids but after all it's still animals for amusement...

phoenix kuramata

All you can eat deal for $25! My 1 meal, entree w/side & drink came out to $18. The all you can eat deal (3 venues during the week, 5 on weekends) is a great value . Yours truly, Jubba da hut =)

Joseph Rosamond

The sea lion shows (day and night) are by far the most entertaining shows. This is a MUST see!!

Doug Baer

If you want to go to the shows, look at the schedule in the morning and make a plan. Many showtimes overlap!
