Sea World

We had the absolute best time at Sea World in San Antonio! My parents met us for the San Antonio portion of our trip. It was the perfect day. Just a little overcast so it wasn't too hot and no one got burned. We went on a Thursday while the schools were still in so there were no crowds. It was nice.


I'm not for sure if we could pick what our absolute favorite part was. The first thing we did was go to the bottle nose dolphin tank where we could buy dead fish and then feed them to the dolphins. The kids loved this and would have just stayed here all day and skipped the rest of the park (of course they had no idea what else was out there).

We then visited the Lorikeet exhibit where Grandpa bought nectar so we could go in and feed them.
The dolphin show was fun.

The kids rode the Shamu roller coaster several times!

But our very favorite had to be the Shamu show. We actually made it for both performances. The first show had 3 killer whales which was fun, but the second show had 5 killer whales and it was very impressive. They did all sorts of jumps and tricks. The most amusing part was when they all came over to one side to splash the audience. I'm sure it would not have been as amusing to us if we had been in the splash zone, but the people were warned.

My kids are already asking when we are going to go again. I think next time we might plan for 2 days at the park because we barely made it to every show, rode a couple kiddie rides, saw all the exhibits and ate lunch and still didn't make it to any of the big rides. One day is not quite enough.

If you are ever in San Antonio, we would highly recommend going to Sea World. It was great fun!
