SeaWorld
San Diego

I always have a good time when I go to SeaWorld San Diego. Between the rides, the shows and the exhibits, its a fun day especially for the kids.

But, this can be an expensive day! Especially if the whole family goes!

You can buy tickets in advance online at the official SeaWorld website but you'll pay about $84.00 for one adult and $78.00 for one child ages 3-9. This is for a single day ticket, oh and add another $15.00 for parking.

You might want to consider getting a CityPASS, especially if you are planning seeing more than one park. This saves you a lot of money.

Park Hours and Show Schedules

Most of the shows at SeaWorld run approximately 20 to 25 minutes long. Its best to get there 15 to 20 minutes before showtime, especially on busy days to assure a good seat.

Call the SeaWorld information line at 800-257-4268 to get show listings by phone.

Attractions

Turtle Reef is an interactive attraction where you step into the world of nearly 60 sea turtles. Connect with sea turtles and go on a rescue mission ride of your own aboard Riptide Rescue. Experience their sea to shore journey by playing Race for the Beach.

Manta is a multi-media double-launch coaster where you twist, dive and soar like a ray. Or surround yourself with gliding rays in a grotto where you can feed and touch the rays. Pretty cool!

The Shamu Show, One Ocean, is pretty cool as well. Psst! Don't sit in the front rows unless you want to get wet!
