Sea World San Diego

By Angela Ash

Sea World is one of the most beautiful parks that I have ever visited.  They must hire an entire crew to lay in wait for that stray paper that may float away into the wind, ensuring that it never even touches the magnificent grounds of this meticulously manicured theme park. 

While many parks focus on rides only, the "feeling" here is definitely different.  Around one corner may be a ferocious coaster, and around the next you may run into a playful dolphin that insists on flipping his fin every time he passes you. 

And of course, there is Shamu. Performing in heart-pounding shows is just the beginning.  Visitors may opt to dine at Shamu's private patio, where every delicious bite may be supplemented with a daring dive into the water.  This is truly the epitome of "dinner and a show". 

And Sea World ensures that there are plenty of thrills for those who seek to be dropped, turned, and drenched. Hop onto Journey to Atlantis, culminating in a 60 foot plunge, or soar away on Manta, San Diego's first multi-media double-launch coaster! And make sure the kiddos visit the Sesame Street Bay of Play, where they can even meet their favorite characters from the Street!

The animal encounters are endless! See turtles, sharks, dolphins, penguins, and tons of other fish and ocean dwellers.  And if this isn't enough, Sea World offers special encounters with Beluga Whales, dolphins, and more!
