Sea World Travel Review

Laurie and I went to Sea World today.  I had won tickets at work and we decided to take this holiday weekend to go.  I was given two complementary certificates.  On the certificate was nothing other than they were complementary.  We stood in line for about 10 minutes and when we approached the ticket booth, we were told:

 

1) the tickets had expired last month

2) this was the wrong place to redeem these tickets

 

I didn't know they were expired, but they could have written something on the ticket regarding where to redeem these tickets.  Anyways, we when to the guest services window to see if we could still get in.  They gladly redeemed the tickets for us and we got into the park.  VERY NICE.  Thank you Sea World.

 

We did not spend the whole day there, we went last year and many things were the same.  For a Sunday on a holiday weekend, the park wasn't that crowded.  The lines were good and the shows weren't completely filled.  You should still show early to shows, to get a good seat.

 

Pets Rule - We really liked this show, mostly because we have a dog and we like to see dogs and cats do tricks.  There was a sappy part where the emcee pretends to read a letter from a dog that was rescued from the animal shelter only to be enslaved to perform daily in shows such as this.  Fun show - 4 out of 5 stars.

 

Dolphin Show - Basic show of dolphins jumping, talking and doing coordinated leaps and getting us all wet.  There was a family volunteer.  Husband, wife and child. Each we're given opportunities to interact with the dophins.  One is a plant and this time it was the wife.  I was completely surprised.  In fact, Laurie tells me that the wife was kicked off the TV show, the Bachelor this week. Take splash zone warnings seriously 4 out of 5 stars.

 

You go to Sea World for the sea life exhibits.  This is where Sea World excels.  You won't be able to get this close to as many animals than Sea World.  We saw the Polar Bears, walruses, baluga whales, sharks and manatees.  Great Great Great 5 out of 5.

 

Service - The service at Sea World left a lot to be desired.  Each show has disabled seat and many were taken by non-disabled people.  So when a disabled person needs a seat and it is taken by someone who is not disabled, Sea World employees will not enforce the rules.

 

Sea World is not Disneyland, but then again what is?
