    One of the most special memories I have is the day I held for 600 lb. dolphin on my lap. Through the Dolphin Interaction Program at Sea World San Diego, I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of touching a dolphin.

    Upon our arrival we were met by a Sea World employee who gave us a half-hour lecture all about dolphins. She then took us to the holding tanks where dolphins spend their time when they are not in the public eye. We were given wetsuits and booties and separated into groups of three. First we visited the veterinarian, we learned how blood is drawn from their flukes, we learned about their diet and how old dolphins can live. Next, we went to a training pool and learned hand signals and how they work.

    Our final stop we were able to enter the water (which was about 66°) and wade in up to our chest. The guide told us why we were not allowed to swim with the dolphins; two reasons: number one Dolphins like to play tag, they can swim up to 22 mph. if they "tag" you, you really won't want to play anymore. and number two Dolphins like to hang out on the bottom of the pool and naturally they want you to hang with them, so they hold you down with them. They can hold their breaths for 12 minutes.

    The cost for this program is $150 per person

    Well worth the cost believe me!

    Call early to make reservations as this program sells out quickly.

    A great thing we liked about this park was that if you go for the whole day/evening, it is a long time, but you can get your hand stamped, leave and then return later. We did this about 6pm, went back to our hotel, had a dip in the pool, had some dinner and then went back to the park for the evening, watching the fireworks was great.

    There is also a Manatee Rescue, set in a river-like setting like they would inhabit in the wild. I love manatees (see my Homosassa page)
    There are also Walruses and beluga whales. In fact there is so much to see that we probably missed some of it.
    With shows and feeding times are starting at different times, its a bit like a race getting round to see everything you want to see, whilst trying to miss nothing.
    Try and get there as early as possible, check out the times of the shows, feeding times etc of the things you want to see and then you can maybe plan it a bit better than we did

    Who cannot resist dolphins??? They are so adorable, and besides seeing them in their own show you can also feed them. You buy your food in Sea World, trouble is there are so many people buying the food and feeding them that I am afraid it is cupboard love when they come to you for their food, the minute its gone they are off to the next person :-)

    At Sea World you can see a film of the rescue, rehabilitation and release which took 14 months of J.J. an orphaned Californian grey whale. It is a very moving story and I am sure captures the heart of all who see it. Me included

    get close to dolphins

    Feed the Dolphins! You can buy a small disposable container of fresh fish pieces to throw to friendly, tame dolphins in an enclosed, attractive large pool. You can watch other people do this, whether you buy fish or not. Watch out for sea gulls! they'll swoop down fast & steal your fish!
    Sea World has many, many fish & sea mammals on display, attractively. Its like a zoo & circus in one place.
    Love penguins? Great place to see all types of them & cool off yourself, too.

    Have been to this park many times, though last time was about 6 years ago. Many happy memories with my girls when they were little. So much to do here; really is amazing, entertaining & educational. Stay till it closes; enjoy the nightly fireworks & other shows. Take lots of pictures, wear sunscreen. You can find coupons to save money on your tickets or use AAA membership to save. The price is very high, so don't go unless you have $250 for a family of four ( see excellent website for details). I still love remembering the quality & fun of the place! I hope you enjoy it, too.

    Sea World is a very popular attraction in San Diego and started in 1964. Shamu the killer whale has become an unofficial symbol of the city. (Although I would like to add that the killer whale in all other Sea Worlds around the world are also called Shamu!

    Although I am not a lover of 'theme park' type venues, Sea World was brilliant. We were told that there would be massive queues but although very busy this was not the case.

    The above is a picture of my son and myself.

    There is so much to see here at Sea World not just sea creatures. This is a water ski display, and they were brilliant. A must see.
    There are also shows and fairground rides in the park.

    Entry into Sea World is almost $50 for an adult, their are concessions for children between 3 and 9. However there are so many options of payment, its best to check their web site first. You can even get a discount on some prices by buying your ticket on line, or perhaps having a ticket for Universal Studios along with the Sea World ticket. These kind of tickets can save you money.
